I was just wondering if any of you had a good or bad day at a retail store? or work at one and have some info into why some customers think they own the place they spend there money in? and why customer service has gone down hill??

I guess we can say that the generation gap is alive and well
-------------------------------------------------------------------
we can assume that most people graduate at 18 or 19
28 + 18 = 46 yrs old.
TADA! Kids these days. Gotta explain everything to them..

It's that new math StanleyChief. If you weren't using the OLD MATH system, you wouldn't have figured that age out so quick.
Maddog, you have to understand something about these young studs. They haven't lived the extra 20-25 years yet to learn the stuff some of the more mature Ladies and Gents here, like yourself, have learned.
Young dudes, mark my words, one day you guys will be the ones that have young guys think you are old-fashioned, senile, and don't know what you are talking about. That is provided you don't make the wrong old dog mad at you.:-) [Reply]
you know what, I took your advice tonight because at work tonight I had this table, they looked trashy (honestly) and I gave them really good service, I chatted with them and was really friendly and they were nice back to me, but when it came time for the bill, what happened? their bill was $30 and they actually had the nerve to say to me, here is a check, there is an extra dollar in it for you. Are you people ****ing kidding me? above average seems to agree with me, because he has actually worked at a restaraunt. You guys just don't understand, I'm telling you what happens from my standpoint and you think I'm a bad guy because of it, you need to take a look through my perspective for crying out loud. [Reply]
Paul, they fit into the catagory of not tipping at all and you actually pried a buck out of their hands. You should be proud of yourself for an accomplishment like that!:-) [Reply]
I guess this is where I'm supposed to step in and stick up for the younger fellas. Tell the old farts they're full of it. My generation is not what you think it is. We see what is, we get it, and we don't fall for the same line of BS and horsepucky you did.
Sorry...Can't.
I don't relate. I see a big gap in who is and who's going to be. I don't like it.
Customer relatons, the way people treat others, the lack of conviction....etc.
Scoff, BS, or lament all you wish, but it's true. It's horseshit, this philosophy I'm hearing about how customers SHOULD be treated. It's echoed on other threads and other opinions...
Ever hear of influencing a person? Self sacrifice? Being an examle to people who AREN'T as considerate as you? Perhaps you putting up with their BS and STILL serving them a nice hot meal MIGHT, just MIGHT, change the way they treat the next guy. [Reply]
Great point Brad.. It's like road rage. Cutting someone off because they cut you off doesn't solve anything. It might make you feel good for a second, but it just leads to more road rage.
Giving poor service to these people is just reinforcing the fact to them that they shouldn't have to tip good, because they always get crappy service anyway. What if you gave crappy service to someone and they left you a big tip because they believed it was the right thing to do? How would you make that up? Would you expect a good tip next time they visit and sit in your section? [Reply]
