  • My people!

    Let me first just mention how happy I am to be among people who understand what it's like to work with the public. You truly are my people!

    Anyway, about me: I'm an interior designer, currently working in a small custom cabinet shop. I get everything from fairly normal homeowners to millionare nutjobs. We're basically in a restort-type community in the mountains, so I work with a lot of second (and third) homes. Believe me, I have a bumper crop of Sucky Customer stories to share! This will be more fun (and cheaper) than therapy!

    Also, I think my boyfriend is planning to register. He's a surveyor, usually dealing with the same clientele that I work with!

      So, is it the money that makes them nutjobs, or is there something about being a nutjob that attracts the riches? Cuz if it's the latter, I need to start being more crazy.

      Sounds like you could have some great stories in your line of work.

        Shame, shame, they're only nutjobs if they're poor! Being rich and nutjobby means they're "eccentric"

          Ah, yes...I did forget about that particular rule! Most of these are wealthy enough to afford the title of "eccentric." :-)

            $$$=SC

            There is a conection between $$$ and SC behavior. When ever I see a female customer with a Nordstrum shoping bag and a Coach purse headed in to the store I cringe.
