What’s Irritating the Sh*t out of me!

I think I told you guys before that one year several years ago my New Year's resolution was to make sure I complimented good service to that person's supervisor, or the customer service desk, or whatever. I still try to remember to do that. It doesn't cost me a dime, and hopefully it makes someone's day, helps them on a raise evaluation, or whatever.

I'm very patient with people around me, while at the stores (on the outside of course), however on the inside I feel like my head is going to explode. Because of their arrogance, in believing that they are the only shopper.

I will say this, the day before Thanksgiving, I was at the store and was in need of something and didn’t see it – there was a stock person there filling the shelves and I asked him if they had any of it and he said no. We chatted for a few minutes about the shoppers, etc. Anyway, so I left and continued shopping. About 10 minutes later, I hear this “Ma’am”, “Ma’am” – I turn around and there’s the guy with two bags of the chopped broccoli. Needless to say, I was touched. I appreciated the effort he went to and told him so. Maybe because I was nice to him in the beginning rather than being a bitch he helped me out.

I find that's really important at work, too. I deal with a lot of court clerks and other staff members. When I get really good service, I make it a point to thank them, either in writing (where it can go in their personnel file); or thanking their supervisor.
