Aug. 21st, 2010 11:56 pmOne more day of tax-free weekend, one more day 'til classes resume.
I very nearly told a customer to go to hell today because he was being an asshole. The thing about rude customers (especially on very busy days) is that you want so badly to tell them that while you'd like to help them, you're very busy and there are at least nine other people who need your help and won't be jerks to you if you're unavailable and will, you know, make the effort to look for someone who works there so they can get assistance, even if it means waiting for a minute longer. There is nothing I despise more than customers who steal and customers who are rude. Every time I find a stolen box or someone is ridiculously rude to me, I have this weird compulsion to be nicer to everyone else. I feel like I'm attempting to offer up some sort of strange karmatic balance.
