Corporations.

[icebluenothing]

So one of my managers interrupted me today while I had a line of customers at the register to have me take a minute to sign the little corporate pledge wherein I solemnly acknowledge that the customer is always my first priority.
..... Is everyone but me on this planet completely monkeyfuck insane?

Having read some of the stories in the customers_suck community, I'd have to say yes.

Where are you working these days, again?

[icebluenothing]

JoAnn Fabrics, at Lake Forest Park.

Definately monkeyfuck insane, unfortunately....

but maybe not that monkeyfuck.

Maybe just apefuck insane in my case.

*snort* That one's worthy of submitting to the Dilbert site; what was your manager's hairdo like?

Yup. Completely batshit.

"The customers are our number one priority."

"You're spending too much time with customers, if you can't get their problem solved within 9 minutes, just schedule a callback for when we're not so busy and get them off the phone."

Oh, man. Thanks for the reminder that at least I'm not doing that bullshit anymore ....
