I propose a new Olympic Sport. Complaining. That's right. USA would be the undisputed leader for years to come...we could hold international summer camps on the subject. Don't get me wrong. i like to complain from time to time too. But, i know the time and place for my complaints. I hear, and am entirely exhausted, by the non-stop complaining i hear from people all day and night long...give it a rest. Get over yourself.
If you are a cashier at your local department store and don't like working the 6-9:30 shift...take a different job..or suffer through it in silence. I don't need to feel sympathy for you while i'm buying my $30 T-Shirt. And, what's more, i've heard so much of it that i don't feel sympathy anymore, instead i feel anger. Also, i don't want to hear "I don't get paid enough to do this!" Yes you do. You are exemplifying exactly why you are worth $6.50/hr. As a professional representative of your store, you would never want the customer feeling angry or sympathetic...those are not "buying" moods. When you were hired i am positive they told you how much you would make...that was the time to complain...i can not give you a raise!
If you buy your lunch from the same vendor each day...and most days you are dissatisfied with the meal...guess what...time to stop buying from them. The examples are endless...and i've had quite enough.
So the next time you see someone go "Falling Down" ala Michael Douglas...minus the kidnapping and murder...you'll know why.
