Trancecoachsays...it's called customer service.
serosmegsays...I bet they taste better after they are all fixed up and loogified.
Sagemindsays...Goes to show, they CAN make it look better, do it properly.
Most of the time, they are just too lazy to do the job right the first time!!!!!
siftbotsays...Moving this video to PlayhousePals's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.
yellowcsays...It's clear you have never tried this form of employment?
I was a checkout person once, at the start I wanted to top the fastest average scan list they released every week, I took pride in knowing all the veggie/fruit codes for quick weighing, I pre-scanned the belt to see how I was going to pack the bags and what room I would have to put things aside etc
That lasted a little while, until my soul was drained from my body, my back started to ache quicker and quicker, my feet got blisters and one inconsiderate asshole customer after another made my day a little shittier with their stupid inane behaviour. Do you know how your fucking eggs got delivered to the store? They're going to be fine.
Well then I realised why the women working full-time was slow, didn't give a flying fuck about where she packed things and couldn't be damned learning the code for bananas. It simply didn't matter in the slightest, you're all coming back for your shitty groceries week after week, I'm getting paid all the same and my shitty day isn't going to go faster being happy than it is being miserable.
That effect only lasts 1-2 hours, no matter your attitude, packing shit for 8hrs is going to get stale. Packing shit for 8hrs a few times a week or every day, well you're constantly thinking "Would I get fired if I punched this guy? Maybe, I think I can make a solid case."
I could craft you a nice burger all the time or I can just slap together some shit your gonna shove down your greasy gob anyway. How much do I get paid again? Oh yeah, fuck all.

Sagemindsays...I've worked more years in the service industry than I care to admit.
I've had my share of un-user-friendly clients ream me out for things I had no control of. I've worked the long hours without sitting down, missed breaks, sore feet, no days off... etc.., etc....
BUT I always took pride in trying to do things a little better every time I did my tasks, no matter how mundane they were. And I smiled at customers, and I took my heavy breath and I shuffled on. I went out of my way for the client/customer every time.
Please don't presume to tell me I have no clue. If you chose to let your job get the better of you, then it's time to move on. I eventually did. Moved up and over. Tripled my pay and got on with life. But I never took anything out on the job, I always performed and I never pretended to think I was above the job. It's a job. And if we choose to be there, then we damn well better choose to do it well. That's called character, and responsibility.
Period.
