I think it's hit and miss, a cross section of society these days.
I think of the checkout lady at the grocery store complaining loudly that she wished she had a "real" job (which of course she shouldn't do in front of customers) and then she gives me a dollar back because I handed her one too many.
Or what level of service do we expect?
And just yesterday, shopping for a new computer at Staples. They've got three towers (desktops) on display. They've got shelf tag descriptions, but no prices. I'm standing there. Looking at the computers, looking around for somebody to ask. I finally notice the guy at the tech service counter just staring at me standing there so I start over there.
A lady beat me to him. She had a service ticket, and he went to work processing it. So I went back to the computers and stood there some more, looking around. And ended up me staring across at the service counter guy, and him staring at me.
So I went to the cash register and said, "I need some help over here with the desktops."
Little girl did the PA announcement - help needed in Aisle 6.
Here comes the service guy, same guy. I said let's talk about these three desktops here. He said, "We don't have any of them. In fact those three are all display dummies. We don't carry those any more."
I went to WalMart 500 yards away and bought a computer off of the shelf.
