There are a lot of reasons that I hate to shop, unless it’s in a hardware or sporting goods store. But, the one reason that is now getting on my nerves are the perky little girls at the register that say, "Have a nice day." They don’t mean that. It is part of their training. And, if my financial controller is with me, they say, "You guys have a nice day." Apparently parents have failed in teaching that there are male and female of the species. While it may be politically correct to marry a guy, I didn’t.
Then, there’s the comment you get when you say thank you. "No problem," is the reply. Don’t people know that "you’re welcome" is the sensible reply? I really don’t care if it is a problem for someone to do something for me. By saying "thank you" I am acknowledging their effort and stating my appreciation.
In my next life I am going to train customer service people - those that have actual customer contact. They will have to say horrible things like, "Thank you for shopping with us and please come back." Wow! What a novel idea.
You guys have a nice day. No problem in writing this blog everyday.
