Are we getting just old enough, and on so many medications,That we don't realize how down right irritable we can be?
Or, have we not realized how unhappy we really are?
Upon first entering workforce, I was in shock, and sometimes thoroughly angered, to discover authoritarian, legalistic, generation of adults who (had controlled our every thought and being) didn't even have their own act together!
Only then, these adults were deacons, Sunday School teachers, and like ... with a different code of ethics in workplace. Evidently, all that lust and greed wasn’t answer, because they still aren't truly happy.
Now, my youngest is having her first experience in workforce and she, thoroughly, loathes her job ... not because of employers or even co-workers, but customers. It isn't just an occasional cranky old biddy. As she says, "Mom, it's all of them!"
Customers make same purchases, over and over, with same gripes. She's in food business. So, there is pre-knowledge that food will taste same, be wrapped same way, customers will be charged same ... every time. My daughter questions, "If they really don't like our product, why don't they go somewhere else?"
Evidently, customers do like product, as this store is a multi-million dollar business. Though, multitudes do appear unhappy, as retailers well know. Maybe we can keep it all neatly tucked, take it out on clerks and waitresses, none wiser. Now, that's a plan!
