Customers Part Deux

After a long and frustrating night, I am now home in front of the computer. Customers on Friday the 13th are especially evil.

Opening packages: I understand the need to see what you're getting but must you rip apart packages, then leave them scattered across the floor? If you're shopping and you see two identical products next to each other, one taped, bulging with parts shooting out of the carton or the nicely cellophaned-wrapped package, which one would you choose? I thought so. These products are packed into their box a certain way and only a Rubik's Cube master can put it back the way it came. Since most people aren't Rubik's Cube masters, they stuff everything back into the box, usually upside down so when an employee goes to put it back, all the parts crash to the floor. Leave the dang package alone until you buy it and bring it home. I see you... DON'T OPEN IT!!!!

You can do it yourself: People pump their own gas, pick out their own food at the grocery store so why is it so hard for someone to understand sawing your own moulding. There's a saw, a tape measurer (which will be stolen by the end of the evening) a place to cut it. When I have told people they can cut their own moulding, it's like I've offended them. "What me? Use a saw?" Obviously if you're buying moulding, you must have saw skills. Most kiddie toy tool sets have saws so this isn't some obscure tool like a lathe or a router. Hammer, saw, screwdriver. Pretty basic stuff. I'm not even talking about little old men and ladies who have difficulty walking. Grown men are aghast at the notion they have to cut it themselves. Grown men also think it's amusing to watch women employees lift something 30 times their weight and not lift a finger to help them. Go watch Tool Time Tina Tickles Tacoma and keep your sleazy eyes off me.

Okay, the emptying of my mind is complete for tonight. Let's see what happens tomorrow!
