It’s dead people. It’s fucking dead.

I’m not saying you can’t get good customer service at all, but for the most part customer service is no longer a priority to most companies. And if it is a priority to the company, it sure as hell isn’t to the employee. I understand it’s hard to make a living making only $6.50/hour, but don’t take your problems out on me because you suck at life.

I’m at Walgreens and there are only two people on the registers and the lines are 8-10 deep at each register. Nevermind the fact a manager is sitting behind the counter just watching the line grow (God forbid the jackass open a register), but the line I’m in has the whiny employee. You know the one. The one who would rather complain how tired she is and how she can’t wait to get home because she’s worked her obligatory 7 hour shift. And it’s not really her complaining that bothers me (although it is proof why she can’t get a REAL job). It’s the fact this broad can’t multi-task for shit. She can’t talk and push buttons at the same time. So while the other line dwindles, my line is held up by this idiot yapping her jaw.

No one cares anymore. There used to be a time when you could actually get service at your Best Buy, Walgreens and Sears. The only place I really get customer service is at a restaurant and that’s probably only because the whore in the apron is working off of tips. If she didn’t care about her 20% I’m sure she’d be telling me to go fuck myself too. But even then there have been waiters and waitresses that don’t even care. It’s gotten to the point where I’d rather buy my stuff online then deal with these shenanigans in the store.

So what happened? Why don’t they give a shit anymore? Your thoughts in the comments.
