Not a "hello, can I help you.. let me know..." or "we're closing soon." Nada. Nothing.


Exactly.

i.e. go back to days when pulled into gas station and someone come to your window and ask fill it up & ask check your oil. As this is all happening your windows are cleaned.

Now customer service looks like you're bothering the company/business they would rather you just buy what you want came in for & blank off. That's if you even see anyone beside cashier. Got to love business today.

That annoying Center of Gravity banner!

BTW, "Center" should be spelled "centre." This is Canada, people.

Okay co-workers . . . if I'm going to spend half an hour prepping a file for you could you at least GLANCE at the *bleep*'n thing before calling me in a panic with a ton of questions which would have been answered if you'd bothered to open the dang file when I sent it to you 4 days ago?????

Oh I'm sorry Lady tehMa, it should be simple for them right?

How about when you go for one simple purchase and it turns into a marathon of what isn't included "anymore" and a whole bunch of stuff is now need.
As WW3 develops, no one is going to be dissing the "preppers." What have you done?

The whole *&%/$ nest. Mopped too. Turned out the prospects where more interested in my stuff than the stuff that was actually for sale...
