Later that same day.....

I've decided I like to make decisive decisions.

Happy American Consumer Holidays!

Customer service has become an oxymoron.

Here is my latest letter to the editor of the Anchorage Daily News:

Dear store employee, all I want for Christmas is a little customer service.

I realize that we shoppers were put here on earth to pay your salary. I know you are doing us a favor just by showing up at work and keeping the cash register warm.

I understand that actually knowing your store and products is too much to ask. I mean, how are you supposed to know where things are and how they work?

I am sorry that my questions are a burden and I realize it is my fault I am too stupid to figure out where things are by myself.

As for greetings, I guess introducing yourself and asking me how I am doing is an emotional commitment that should only be made with a license from City Hall.

So, I wish you a Merry Christmas. I am sure you have always been the center of attention during this holiday. Forgive me for not recognizing it right away.

Don’t worry.

When you want a better job and come see me for an interview, I will remember how stupid I was that day when I came into your store and asked you for a little help.

I found this in the Wireless catalog at the link below.

I call it, "The Real Reason Garden Gnomes Are Disappearing"

This is the only way I will ever display a gnome in my garden.

For the tide of man is but one wave that washes upon these shores, for his deeds, and fears, and battles will wash away. Ground and polish...
