Customers are pest

Why are customers so picky? I want exactly this kind of stuff and I want it to be delivered exactly at this time….give me a break. I have to hear complains from all the sides. From my boss, customers and movers. Hear me out too….now where can I take my frustration out? My friend who works in jewellery dept told me show them the finger. Can I? I haven’t seen her showing the finger so I m not gonna do that but oh yea I can swear at them…but not on their face but in my heart. Just right now…I m writing this and a customer comes and say look at the floor model…it is defective and all the stuff. I said that is why we are giving it cheaper. He says I will take it for $1500. is he out of his mind…the price tag is for $2100 after deduction. Hell I still have to charge him 15% of tax after $2100. He was saying he saw an Italian guy whos willing to sell him for $1600 and Sears store would give him 50% off because of defective piece and I m so pissed that I didn’t bother to reply. I was thinking go screw yourself and if that guy is offering you that why are you wasting both of our time here? Also why did he gave me his number and asked to think about the offer. Some people just want freebie. I am not running a charity….phew let me relax…take a deep breath…ahh that’s better. You cannot do anything…just smile at them and apologize…I hate interacting with such customers. Now where was i? Oh yea the usual nagging but I don’t want to write my sad story here. You people have your own problems and nobody wants to hear other guys problems unless they are sadist. But you know u can think well chee….that guy have so many probs…compare to him atleast I don’t have that much problem. It is indeed a motivational move but I oppose that approach. anyway if i write all the experience i had encountered with all the customers than probably all of you would fall sleep after reading first few lines. look at this way, it is a great way to get sleep. read my stories and i bet preety soon you would be yawning.

A question that hover inside my head

Do people show affection when they are not young? Like I m working in the mall right now and have noticed that only couples (young) held hands together, while old couples mostly with kids (I m not saying about those kids who are small but those who you would drool on…future firecracker) never held hands or embrace each other. So it’s like no caring ….u put up with me and I will put up with u? I do not think it might be the case but I m curious to know the reason behind this. I have nothing much to do on weekdays so I was thinking may be I would do a survey asking the reasons why they are not holding their hands together.

“Excuse me….do you have a moment?”
“Yes”
“Ah…I am doing a survey and thinking that why do old people don’t held their hands together?”
“Hahahahaha…..who knows”
Now that’s the kind of reaction I would want but somebody might frown at me or some other guy who just had a fight with his nagging wife decides to take all the anger on me and provides me with such bombastic vocabulary that I stand in amazement and impressed by the guys unquestionable knowledge of swears. All is good as long as nobody gets physical. But who would get physical but this question?

So the reason I m not doing this is one….i am lazy and if this was my thesis topic than it would be OK and I had to be in a shitty university with the professor’s IQ of 10 points who would allow me to do this topic. Anyway one is I am lazy and second is come on now…I got nothing better to do? Well its true that I got nothing better to do but I don’t want to show it to everybody. So I would appreciate any comments that why do people who are in the mid marriage don’t express their love? You know I am imagining myself holding hands with my girl friend but not after 10 years of marriage….i have no answer for this, perhaps somebody else might be kind enough to share their idea with me.
