i use to work as a cashier.. for most of my work history… and all i have to say is…
THE CUSTOMER IS NOT ALWAYS RIGHT!!!
I can’t tell you how much I agree with you. But I also believe alot of these ill manner people pitch their fits because they want something for free. They believe that if they cuss and yell they just might get something for free. The world would be a better place if people would just treat others the way they want to me treated.
Yeah, very true. I just think that people have really lost a sense of respect for themselves and for others.
When people can’t respect themselves they don’t know how to respect others. Of course I believe that in today’s world parents are out having to work for a living leaving their children alone. Not teaching them right from wrong. Or respect.
i completely agree w/ u. i work at a store in town and you would be surprised how rude some people can be.
True, and work and family life are main factors in this. I know feminists are gonna go crazy on me, but I really believe that after a woman has children, the best place for her is her home. I know this isnt possible for some, broken families, having to work many jobs..So I think, recieving an education, and going to college are extremely important for our youth today. Someone has to break the cycle right? So when kids work hard in high school to get into college, they are staying focused and keeping away from negative distractions, and once they go to college, they will be around a majority of positive influnce, and people who share the same goals as them. After that with a college degree, they can recieve great job opportunities and make a good living. With that, its easier for them to find a good companion in life, that will be setteled and money related stress may not be an issue when starting a family. andm hence, a cycle may be broken.
lol, Now I know that I’m completely generalizing here, and its easier said than done, but you get the jist of it right?
i agree that the parents should be there but some moms actually many mom’s can raise a good kid while having a job it all really depends on the job and the type of person they are
i think that if youre a single mom, its pretty much obligatory for you to have a job and raise your kids simultaneously, so thats another story, and i know of many single moms that are great mothers.
However, if yuor in a steady relationship, and your husband makes a substantial amount of money to run the household, then i think that the mom having a second job is an extravegance. Running a household is a job itself, as well as raising children, and a lot of women in the workforce struggle bc its difficult for them to spend the whole day at work, get sh** from their bosses, and then go home and then get sh** from their kids/husband because the house is dirty and theres no food on teh table. I know a lot of women who have/want jobs just bc they just WANT a job, and dont want to stay at home…I think its way more important to stay at home and raise decent kids and run a household. I think if most women had that mindset, then they’d have happier relationships.
I agree with you on this whole post.
I used to work in Customer Service and had some of the most mean and ill mannered customers call in (of course I was Customer Service so I had to be nice). And the worst part was having a head set, and one customer would be very meak and you would have to turn the head set up to talk to them, and of course you would forget… what does the next person do?? Scream his HEAD off at you, and make you go DEAF (Dont know on the whole spelling).
Unfortunately, the best way to deal with it is to set an example, and not get mad at them, but be very nice and help them out. It sucks to do sometimes, but when it is all said and done, you are helping this world, because you are showing those… people (if you can call them that) that they do not have to be hostile to get what they need, and it actually does not help them one bit. ;)
you’re right…thats what i always try to do, i never fight back, i stay polite..even when its so hard to keep your cool. A few years back, when i first started working, this crazy lady even made me cry :P lol i know its lame, but i’d never had anyone speak to me like that before, like personally targeting me. so yeah…you really learn and grow from all of your experiences in life.
For many years I was a single mother of 3 girls. I had to work. But when I remarried my husband let me stay home and raise my kids. Of Course they are teenagers now and I returned to work about 5 years ago. I also most had no other choice. Between my husband and I we have 5 girls. So in order for us to be more comfortable and provide for our kids better I went to work. I miss being home with my kids so much but to be honest going back to work has helped me find myself again. Sometimes that is what happens to stay at home moms. But Sodapop I have to say not many men understand that being a mom is a full time job in it’s self. I work harder at home than I do at my job. Out to you Sodapop for realizing just how hard being a mom and wife is.
Aw thanks! I’m only 20, and a girl 2 btw lol… but you know what? I’ve learned all this stuff from my own mother. Fortunately she was a stay at home mom while i was growing up and is still always there for me, even tho she works now. I never stop learning from her. So this goes out to all the moms out there who realize how important it is to raise decent kids in this world :D
I prefer stay at home dads ;)
I can barely manage making toast lol
You bring up a good point about raising good kids, but it’s unfair to ask the mom to give up her career (which she probably chose because she enjoys) just because she’s the mom. And I was always taught that it’s good for the woman to have some marketable skills and not be completely dependent on the man for income, because then she is completely under control of him no matter what. Like, what if he dies? Or becomes an alcoholic/abusive?
I think that women should make an effort to attain as much knowledge as they can, and even establish a career with that, but when it comes to children, i think that that should be their number 1 priority. In the case of not having a husband to depend on or what not, then she’ll always have that backup knowledge/qualifications/experience in the workforce that she may be able to get another job if necessary. I know it may sound sexist, but i personally feel that a woman’s first priority should be raising her kids, and the job stuff you can leave up to the man (if there is one).
But then the man would be secondary in the kids’ eyes. That’s rather sad..
Not necessarily, the man plays a different role in the development of a child. The bond a child has with his mother is different with his father. Just like that whole breast feeding bit, how children bond with their mothers. The child looks up to a hard working/strong father and to his mother, caring and nurturing…even as far as how men and women’s anatomy is different. I think these aren’t just typical stereotypes but actual facts.
Hmm I dunno, look at China, where baby daughters are abandoned on the streets, on in India where female fetii are aborted, or in the old Middle East where baby girls were buried alive. This is all because a son is favoured, as he is seen as more able to economically provide for his parents/family because of those facts you stated above.
mmm, i’m not exactly getting where you were going with that..
A father’s role in his child’s life is just as important as the mothers role. If you looks at kids today who have grown up with the absence of a father figure, most of their lives are distraught in one way or the other. So essentially both parents pay a crucial role in their children’s lives. But since the mother has a different bond with her child, a more intimate bond, i believe that its her duty to stay at home with the kids(i think thats why women give birth, not men).
Sometimes I think that certain people go out to receive service so that can have some power over another. That’s how they act anyway. I tend to steer clear of THOSE people!
i work in one of the richest areas of my city, in customer serivce. and let me tell you! when they are rich, they are ruuuuuudeeee!!
people are too stupid for the customer to always be right.

I could be mistaken, but I believe in order to show your latest post, you will have to close this one. I was having a similar problem and that’s what I had to do.
Sodapop closed this post.
This post has been closed, no more replies. Thanks!
