food service is worse than retail. so is the print industry. though i will never understand why people insist on fucking with those who touch their food.

I was a waitress once. For a day. Never again. I try to be especially polite to people in the service industry, not just because they're handling my food, but because I know they're working a hell of alot harder for $3/hr than I am for my salary.

I work tech support. The customer is RARELY right.

But isn't that why they're calling you in the first place? i think that's more of a case of "the customer is rarely polite."

Well it's not just that they are rude, it's that they are frequently lying or wrong or both.

I love this.

It also depresses me because I know I'm signing up for a lifetime of retail.

I hate people.

Eh, you gotta do what you gotta do. Just try not to "get stuck."

Wow. I remember having that job.

In fact, I think I might have met that exact same customer.

The customer is almost ALWAYS wrong- it's just that we have to tell them they're right. ;)
