The Revolt Has Begun!

5 Things to Watch For in This War on Customers

20
The Revolt Has Begun!
Starbucks

The servers strike back!! They are villainizing customers like never before and we brave, we few, we customers have to defend our rights and protect our interests at home and abroad.

For those of you who may be less informed, I speak of the travesty that befalls we customers on a daily basis. Here are just five, five, of the hundreds of obstacles that we must traverse to purchase goods and services.

1. We are looked down upon for saying, "Please," and, "Thank you."

What kind of world do we live in where we have the decency to say these things?! "Ain't nobody got time for dat!" But seriously. It's like we are expected to put in the extra effort when we just want our damn food. Oh and I need that new pair of jeans on that shelf. Pronto. Well? What are you waiting for, Debra? Hop to it!

2. We are constantly subjected to high prices that the cashier makes us pay. Out-freaking-rageous.

Seriously Daniel? 30 bucks for that tee? I am a working citizen who pays taxes. You should be ashamed of yourself for trying to swindle me out of 30 bucks when that shirt is maybe worth 10. How's $10 sound? No? I want to speak to your manager. You must be kidding me?


3. Every cashier and server is so unintelligent and I just cannot deal with their incompetence!

Oh. My. Gosh. Kevin you seriously need to make some changes in your life. I mean why don't you go to college and get a degree in math, or English, or French for crying out loud?! Anything! You need to get educated man.

*Looks at nephew*

This is why you go to college Jimmy. So you don't spend your life working in a pizza place like Kevin.


4. They hide the good stuff and horde it so we cannot have it. Those evil people.

What do you mean you don't have a Hawaiian pizza?! Look Seth, I know you have it stashed away somewhere with all of the other slices of pizza I want. I know it's not out with all the other pizza but I know you have it. Oh, and Jillian, I know you have my size of jeans in the back. Oh you looked just now? Why don't you take me back and show me yourself? I know you have them somewhere. Don't be playin' girl.


5. They expect us to actually read the signs they put up! How could they!?

Look Brittney, I know you have that bright red and yellow sign up, I just really don't feel like I need to read it. Why when I have you to walk me through every step of the process? What's that you say? Because I am supposed to order down at the end where the horde of customers is waiting? Well why didn't you say so?!? Gee, whiz you have to make things so complicated. And Joe, I really don't care about that cute little "wait here please" sign. I am in a hurry and you are going to check me out ASAP and I will use that extra 25 seconds to play my video games later.

But seriously the only way I am reading the sign is if I sue you when I run into it.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
