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!
