phalsebob I find nothing so soul chilling as a living creature so rabidly obsequious as to cry at being the best at serving people who wouldn't know or care if she was crushed by a tentacle rape monster. Even TFL Bill, sad fuck as he is, wouldn't pee his pants in joy at his own servility.
I have a soft spot in my heart for the cashier at a nearby supermarket who regularly tells me how much she loathes management and would gladly set fire to the place if she won the lottery.
mon666ster Conversely, this is a society where major corporate entities actually give a damn about customer service. Recent encounters with the phone and cable companies have led me to believe that we should strive to be more like the Japanese.
pressed peanut sweepings As a grocery store employee, I think this would be a great idea in the states. At the very least, it would make the life of a grocery clerk less bleak.
pressed peanut sweepings I just keep telling myself that once i finish my degree, I won't have such low expectations. For now, though...is a plastic bag ok?
RockBolt There's an interesting story behind this nickel
HankFinch I'm agreeing with pressed's first comment.
I'm also in customer service and I used to hate it until one time someone said they were going to go to their local store (30 miles away from mine) but they wanted to come my store just to talk to me instead. That felt pretty awesome.
chumbucket I'm always finding supermarket "super"visors enjoy publicly giving checkout employees and baggers a verbal lashing followed by the task of "bringing in karts". Like there couldn't be more humiliation in the job already.
pressed peanut sweepings I actually like bringing in carts. It gives me time to ponder my miserable life. The verbal lashing part sucks though.
