Highlight the positive in your business.

There is a new restaurant on a busy corner that in it's infinite wisdom has decided to welcome visitors with a sign that reads; "Stop, Customer parking only. Your vehicle will be towed!" I totally understand the business logic for restricting services to your customers. I however have no patience for blatant stupidity. There is nothing welcoming or warm and fuzzy about that sign. If you have a business, have fun when you are warning away the interlopers who might misuse your scarce resources.

This is rant day. Example two, there is a clerk who was helping a customer check some information. The other clerk notices the line behind the first customer and in full view and earshot of the other customer mentioned to the first clerk, "that the customer can do that themselves, help the other customers in line." There is no getting around this, people are stupid. That interaction totally soured me on the location.

Folks, we are totally and completely dependent on each other. Let's start treating people with respect! LOL
