The Revolt Has Begun!

5 Things to Watch For in This War on Customers

16
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.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
