Profanity laced warning...
Mostly everyone reading this has at some point, worked in customer service, to some degree. Lately, it seems the mantra of "bad customer service" is coming from bad customers. In this world of entitlement is resounding a louder scream of what shouldn't be. Sure, there are shitty workers out there, no one is denying that but further yet are the shitty customers. How to spot and avoid being a shitty customer?
- If you're freaking out about a $50 off a $200 cell phone, you live in a world of superficial denial. Quit losing your mind about a fucking cell phone. Quit taking a shit on employees who have no control over price. Screaming louder and becoming a bigger dick just shows how detached your ass is from reality.
- So, McDonald's forgot your french fries. Errors happen, these underpaid workers are forced to work intense hours and move at the speed of light to make sure your arteries stay clogged. If you're pissed off at your boss, aim it properly. Park the car, go in and get your damn fries, trust me, walking shouldn't be the biggest of your concerns when driving through a fast-food joint.
- Wal-Mart just sold the last of the $20 Blu-Ray players. Ah man, you mean you're going to have to wait?! That $8/hr employer deserves to get your wrath over something they have no control over right? Piss off and wait.
- Debt collectors are hired to collect a debt you didn't pay. Sure, make up an excuse and hang up. Pretend to be Rosita the Spanish neighbor and say you moved out. Screaming at these employees and telling them to get a real job is stupid as hell. They do have a real job, their doing it, so try being a bit more empathetic to their situation. They talk to a lot of shumcks all day and they have families too, and don't appreciate death threats,
This is one big cycling wheel of nonsense. Blame it on Washington, the elitists or the few who hold the control factors on this planet, but stop blaming one another. The veil of distraction relies on anger, and murder of one another. Start being nice. Sure, you can't cure assholes, but you can prevent becoming one yourself. Surprise someone with a thank you, a politely placed lie -- at least something!
