A brand new day . . . or not

A friend commented just the other day that perhaps I should finally venture forth into the world of blogging. Not a new concept to me as I currently thoroughly enjoy blogs of others that are posted in this fabulous forum. However - I have never thought that my ramblings would or could be of any interest to others. But, alas, society and it's never ceasing ability to make me want to pontificate and has driven me here to unload. Perhaps this will continue, perhaps not who's to say - um, that would be me I guess.

So why today, you the reader may be asking, I say why not today! It's a day just like any other, why should today be any different...well it's not different and that, dear readers (if there are any who venture to this blog), is what saddens me.

I am not quite old enough - I think- to make this type of statement, but I must. You see I remember when (key old time theme musak in the background) customer service was a point of pride, ney, a staunch facet of working with the public. When you, the customer, were treated with kindness, respect and, dare I say, a reverence that screamed - You are our customer, without you we would have no reason to be here, we are here to make your day more pleasant and to SERVE you our customer, thank you for choosing to spend your hard earned money here as opposed to our competitor across the street!

Unfortunately today seems to be just another one of those endless days that reminds me, even during these tough economic times, when money is scarce and every penny (customer) counts, that nobody cares!! Shop here if you want, don't shop here if you don't want, we don't care. You, the individual, the customer, you don't count at all! If you feel you must shop here please don't expect us to serve you, the customer, instead let us make sure we emanate disgust and put upon-ness (I made it up, but you know what it's my blog so there!) so that we insure you will never want to frequent our establishment again, because we laugh at your money - Ha Ha Ha - we don't need your money, we just have our establishment here as a hoax! We're not here to serve customers, in truth we are here merely as a cover operation for some other dastardly plot involving other life forms! You gullible humans, we shall one day rule you!! - or something like that.

Huh, and here I thought it was just me.
