Arena Of The Damned, Or Why The Service Industry Fails

Few things are more obnoxious than self-centered, pretentious co-op customers or really any customer that behaves without regard to other humans, what a bunch of indecent interlopers. These shoppers exist in two states. State 1: Extremely Oblivious To All Surroundings And Get Suddenly Angry When They Bump Into Someone/Something And It Should Be Their/Its Fault, these shoppers are absolutely horrid to deal with as they can't seem to figure out the definition of staying calm. Look its not my fault your life sucks and I certainly don't deserve to be lashed out on because you can't get your shit together.  I can understand the whole bumping into an object/person and being upset especially if it's not their fault. However, I would say 95% of the time the accidents that are followed by an extreme verbal barrage are a direct result of what appears to be a bong-rip addled decision system. Honestly I have had roommates whom after several bong rips were more aware of their immediate surroundings. Seriously I have watched people push their carts into oncoming cart traffic, and these are easily avoidable accidents too. Certainly the first thoughts in their mind shouldn't be how another is at fault, but rather perhaps how they need to suck up their pride and start apologizing or figuring out in which way they plan on fixing their f*&^ing mess that they created. State 2: I Am Entitled To Do/Ask Whatever I Want Because I Am A Pompous F@#$ That Has Never Worked In The Service Industry Because I Think I Am Too Good For The Service Industry. Nothing boils my blood more than those customers that can easily be classified as pompous asses. While we are on the subject of the service industry, I think that their should be a new type of draft, one in which every person should be required to work a minimum of three years in the service industry. If for no other reason than to cram into their infinitely small minds how incredibly ridiculous and unnecessary their conduct is. I don't believe it to be that they are simply rich and famous, as I have served celebrities and they are typically nice and not demanding beyond reason. Really I think its more in line with how customers are allowed to conduct themselves in a business setting. This seems to be a direct result of the misconstrued and heavily abused notion that all customers "should have it their way". Similarly the practice of the customer always being right is defective, draconian, and absolutely trash. It has opened the door for customers to get away with essentially anything, even worse they expect that they can get way with anything. I do believe that customers should get the product/service that they want and that it should meet their specifications/requirements within reason. The delivery of these goods/services should not be at the expense of another persons integrity and well being. What ever happened to the golden rule? It's a damn shame that we allow other humans to conduct themselves in such a dishonorable and distasteful manner. Step the f#$% up and smack a fool if he layeth downeth inappropriatelyeth. It's time that we change the code that allows the behavior of consumers to unfavorably augment another person. Phew, that was a rant and a half. Thankfully these customers only make up about 15% of the populace. The other 85% of us we are good people who have either worked in the service industry or at least understand the concept of treating people with respect and regard. Also if you some how managed to ignore the image to the side you should observe it now, Confucius says obey.
