Be...Yeah, that coin by coin counter drop kills me.<br /><br />Being overly polite is great weapon, but it both backfires and sometimes it's like when the weak Earth weapons have no effect on the space creature.<br /><br />One of the future entries will be figuring out the right time to stop taking shit from people, because seriously if you don't put your foot down they will consume your very soul.Continually Spicyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12062431840306151473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8748613893168885133.post-29177557648470356762009-07-18T00:25:14.883-07:002009-07-18T00:25:14.883-07:00I couldn't agree more. Having worked a lot in ...I couldn't agree more. Having worked a lot in retail ( including a short stint at London's Forbidden Planet store ) it's always seemed like an unspoken rule that shop staff everywhere are told to be polite to customers EXCEPT in comic shop's where, at best, you're ignored. (Tho' I completely understand the watching/shoplifting thing) As far as ignorant customers, I've found most customers to be ignorant in that way. One thing that used to drive me crazy was when you hold out your hand for the money, and they very deliberately put it down slowly, coin by coin, on the counter. Is my hand invisible, dumbass?!!<br />I used to stare at them, stare at the money, stare at them again, then equally slowly pick it up, coin by coin.<br />These days, I find if someone's being rude or ignoring you, be it staff or customer, the best thing to do is to be ludicrously over-polite back at them. If they're even vaguely aware, it'll throw 'em into responding, and if not, you've just made them look like a cock!pete doreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17004574271734256770noreply@blogger.com
