Hating the customers
Today is one of those days when it’s really hard for me to not hate the patrons. I’m not even in a bad mood. I just keep having this hating feeling when a patron is near. Sometimes I call them names under my breath.
..ok, I just helped a patron (albeit one who wasn’t outwardly STUPID) and that phrase (“sometimes I call them names under my breath”) kept me amused enough to distract me from the hating.
If it weren’t for Dilbert, I might never have noticed the hating-the-patrons problem:
PHB: Our new strategy is to make defective products and charge for technical support.
PHB (wicked grin): Heh-heh…our user manual is totally incomprehensible. We didn’t plan it that way – we were LUCKY!
Dilbert: I’m so proud to be here.
PHB: It all came together when I realized I hate our customers.
I still think that’s hilariously funny.
Even if it does — perhaps — slightly — put me in league with the Pointy Haired Boss.
