  • introducing myself

    Hello!

    I was told of this website by a friend of mine, who is a member. Such interesting stories you have! After lurking for a few days, I thought I'd register and mingle.

    My resume:

    I haven't worked with the general public for a while now. Early in my working career I did, however, holding jobs in fast food, MegaLoMart-type stores, grocery stores, even a handful of stop 'n robs About 11 years ago I decided I'd had enough abuse at the hands of self-absorbed (and often malicious) customers and the rapid succession of 'management zombie-clone of the month' types and went to work in manufacturing.

    Since I've been out of retail for quite some time now, I don't have all that many stories to relate, at least, not recent ones. But it is good to be among people who feel as I do about working with the general public.

    I look forward to talking (or corresponding, as the case may be) with all of you!

      No worries, feel free to pot any sorts of work stories you like. Kick off your shoes, pull up a chair, and get 'em off your chest.

        You don't have to be a customer to suck.

          We even have a sucky family and neighbor section....well not per se--you can bring that up in Off-Topic.
          I'm trying to see things from your point of view, but I can't get my head that far up my keister!
