Customers Suck and Brown

Top ten ways you can suck as a customer:

1. You never learned to say "thank you" so you just walk away like the ignorant fool you are.
2. Leave your stuff in the basket so the checker has to take it out one item at a time. This usually happens in express where everyone is trying to go fast and you've been standing next to your full basket for 2-3 minutes at least.
3. Throw the money on the belt, instead of handing it over.
4. Seperating your 10 items into 3 transactions. And these transcations are used with the same damn credit card.
5. Asking to seperate every item into one paper bag. If you are over 65, you have a 80% greater chance of asking for paper.
6. Plastic inside paper. What the hell is that all about?
7. Combining 3-4 kinds of produce in one bag and they are all different kinds. Sorry, we can't weigh apples with oranges, just as the saying goes.
8. Coupons for everything. Get a life, stop clipping your coupons and arguing over every damn one. It's life, get over it.
9. Old people who cannot read the display two inches from their face go out and drive home!
10. Coming into the 12 items or fewer line with 20 items.

I am practically finished with "Fast Food Nation". I skipped over many of the anecdotes -- they seemed like they had little information in them that I wanted. So I started on "Angels and Demons" by Dan Brown.

Brown is obsessed with naked men and penises. Every book has a naked man and references a penis at least every hundred pages. Perhaps he has an unconscious penis envy problem.

I have also already found an error in his "facts." Go figure!! He claims our word for "Satan" came from Islam. A simple dictionary search says this word is from Hebrew originally. It has gone through many languages, but the first one mentioned is Hebrew. Also, he claims that the US government did not invent the WWW. That is what every communication textbook I have read has taught.
