The Whining and Bitching Thread

You completely fail at business strategy. If someone is yelling at you and is not satisfied with what is going on, are you going to deny them service at all? That's just a bad way to do business. Word of mouth advertising is worth a lot more than anything you could put on TV. If she goes and bitches to 10 friends about it, they'll bitch to 10 more friends, etc. In which case, they'll lose business. If you satisfy the customer, they will give you repeat business, which is what you want.

I mean, she was bitching because they couldn't accept her card. How many people are going to have Starbucks cards that go in there? Probably a small percentage of people. When you tell most of the people what Charlie told her, the majority will not throw a fit and will pay with cash or credit or whatever and go on their way (I'd inquire about why the cards aren't accepted, but that's as far as I'd go). You have those few though that will bitch and moan and it's easier to appease those people in the end than it is to turn them away (it's a job for the managers really since they are in charge). If they are making a really huge fucking scene especially.

It's sad that you have to appease people like that, but it's the breaks.

Trust me, I definitely want to rip some people in half, but Ozz is right. I feel that working in retail is degrading and demoralizing, but having a job is important and I'm not going to stick with retail forever. I hate it but I'm willing to put up with it because it pays the bills, and most of those assholes aren't worth my concern anyhow.

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Exactly; they want you to commiserate with them and to pay them heed...if you don't you win, no matter what kind of discounts you give them to appease them in the short time you have to deal with them.

It's okay, while dealing with people like that, I mentally correct their grammar and think of all of the nasty, witty (of course) things I could have said to them, and it makes me feel better.

Im really not pleased with where I am in life right now. I keep thinking I sould do something about it but its not as easy as it sounds. Im stuck in a bad circle regarding how I feel mentally and I cant find my way out. Its been like this all of 2008 and it really sucks

Luckily, this madness ends the 26th, when I won't even be at work to laugh at people trying to use the coupons still. Goddamn people. Also, I hate to stereotype, but a lot of Indian people around here are Jewier than Jews...they constantly try to penny-pinch every last cent and return things or hold off on buying things if they're not exactly in line with what they originally thought. It's annoying as fuck. End slightly racist-seeming rant.

Dude...indians and chinese people are usually far more tight with a buck than Jews. There's nothing racist about it, either - by and large it's true.

Now, if you pointed out that it's because Jews have unfettered access to the accumulated wealth of the world's banks that might have seemed racist.

You should listen to emo.


But really, I know what you mean. Listen to some fucking Amon Amarth.

But it happens on teen comedies, therefore it must be both hilarious, and the only logical solution to a problem.

Try masterbating.

I think I just threw up in my mouth a little.

And woo. I'm bitching because I'm back off the shizzle holiday
