Customers Suck University

Weirdly enough, my experience in retail is standing me in good stead in an actual uni course I'm taking right now... social psychology, basically the study of people's behaviour to and around other people. Well, anyone who has spent 20 years in retail has spent A LOT of time observing exactly that! We also know how to persuade people, what conformity and coercion look like,a nd the kind of biased assumptions and attributions people make...

We could also have a course for Manager Trainee's. It could be called "Spines: How to keep them 101". And "When to use them 102."

Ooh, I've got another class lined up.

How to deal with the public without turning to drink.

Quoth crazylegs

I think most of us have failed that class already
besides, I don't think Jester would like that class... considering it's those of us driven to drinking that keep him employed.

and speaking of which my booze supply is running low and I won't be in Reno again for 5 months... I may have to go to a state liquor store

Wonder what I be a teacher of?
