Food for thought

WOW you have summed up everyone who works in sales and retail.

And clearly you know my friends?

Your talents are completely wasted here.

Hehe I worked in retail for 20 odd years. I have seen the changes from 86 through 2010. So yeah. I wasn't talking about people in the singularity but the trend that retail has gone through. I have seen the wages they are offering now, less than they were paying 10 years ago, and the fact the people don't get paid for what they can bring to the table, only for how cheaply they can work.
Having the choice, I would choose the customer service people who were happy and chatty and I would avoid the stores where they have a second agenda to sell you extra's or something you don't need in a bid to reach their targets.
I went into retail because I enjoyed the atmosphere of explaining the benefits of their choice and letting the customer decide, not to try and railroad them into 5 year warranties and the such like. And yes, people do get warnings for not selling enough addons in a month because its extra money for nothing to the store.
There are still good sales people out there who will sell you something for the right reasons. They are the people I would go back to. I think most of us would walk away from the pushy jobsworths though

Isn't it always those who either totally love something or strongly disagree with it that would bother to post on a forum? I mean, most people who are just feeling mildly about something wouldn't come to a forum and say,"meh, it's ok, I guess." It's almost entirely strong dis-/agreement that's shown on these kinds of forums.

That's gaming forums.Period.

Gaming forums, even if 99% of the players don't even know they exist, have relevance and import.Basic statistics and math.

I just came here to find a good guild and share fart jokes.

I am sorry but that again is complete rubbish.

I know plenty of extremely busy shop workers who would not take kindly to someone winding them up when they have things to do and targets to meet.

And being horrible to people, no not really my intention at all.

Nor is reading comprehension a skill you possess. I specifically stated that I only approach people who are not busy.

<hands you a 'See Jane Run' book>Go practice on this for a while and come back when you can do better.

I was in the 96th percentile in reading comp on my SAT's. But I was in the 20th percentile with analogies so overall I sucked.


This word you don't know is like this other word you don't know, like these words you may have seen before are to these words that you can't even pronounce. I was in the states 5 years at that point, I be no good with words then like me am now.

OK, you KNOW you're crazy when a kitten with a keyboard is telling you, you're a little off.
