atheilenDear idiot at the A&W counter, a lesson in customer service for you:
1. It is rude to call your customers 'honey' after the age of say, 6, if you have had no prior contact with them.
-Especially if they are the ones spending the money. God, what happened to 'miss?' Since when have 'sweetheart' and 'honey' become common forms of address for customers? I am Not Pleased.
2. It is rude to address your customers in the same tone of voice as you would the same 6-year-old child, wheelchair or no.
3. If a customer gives you a debit card, it is a safe bet she already knows how to use the debit machine. It is not her fault if your debit machine will not work when the customer follows instructions. It is also a safe bet that when you say 'Let's see what you've got there,' in a tone that suggests you are expecting the Apocalypse, what she will have will be nothing more sinister than her PIN number. Therefore, it is rude to say 'Press OK first, honey!" in the same fake-enthusiastic voice you would use to encourage a toddler to go potty...
...especially when the instructions clearly state to press OK.
Nolove,
Me.
Also, nolove to the bookstore, which did not have Scardown. That is very upsetting, especially because it had Hammered days before the release date. It was still selling Hammered today, so I don't get it. As well, in what universe is it logical to sell volumes 1, 6, 8, and 9 of a manga?
About halfway through HBP. Enjoying it muchly, however, due to certain huge spoiler I read, expect wanky post to follow soon.
