    Darn you customers suck!

    AHHH

    I have become completely addicted to this site, caused a real work slowdown this week!

    Well I've been interacting with customers for a VERY long time. When I was a kid my parents opened an independent gas station in the BIGGEST hick town in Southern California, so my formative years were spent thwarting the inevitability of the SC. Yes my Pop's had me working way before I reached double digits - damn that work ethic - but I have some great stories.

    Anyway, work from home now doing some consulting and I can't wait to share those suck stories, but I've also got a few from a huge bookstore that shall not be named, the college restaurant from hell, and of course my beloved gas station.

    I can't wait to read more and share my own stories from the front lines.

    Ooh, bookstore stories! We can commiserate

    Sadly, there is not a 12-step program for this addiction, but that's OK, cuz we don't suffer from this addiction. We enjoy every minute of it! (to paraphrase another phrase I have on a post-it somewhere.)

    Welcome to CS!

      If you are thinking to yourself, "Hmmm, should I post this?" it should probably go HERE.

        Hey, I am coming up on my 1 year anniversary of being bookstore-free. (May 31, to be precise.) Do I get a chip for that? or a cookie at least?

          From a TV show:

          Doctor: Do you suffer from dizzy spells?
          Patient: No.
          Doctor: Me neither. I find them relaxing.

            to CS, platypus.
            I totally loved the SC gas station story. "You saw what?"

            Keep 'em coming.
            Too tired of living and too tired to end it. What a conundrum.

              Sure! Heck, you can have 2 cookies!

              So, what do you want? Chocolate chip, snickerdoodle, or do you want to be really daring and go for the double chocolate?
