^ When two of those people meet, they can fight for a year without relaxing. I've seen it, first hand. My assistant manager when I first got that job had something of an anger issue . He would get in these legendary arguments over draconic banking practices, it was incredible. He was only at my bra...

If it takes more than five minutes to handle a single customer complaint, your managers are doing something really wrong. Dealing with customers is easy. It's not about proving who is right or wrong. It's just getting them to get the fuck out of the store before they create a scene and call that 1-...

Have to write this research paper by Thursday. I know the topic really well, and I have a really clear and fleshed out outline, but I simply cannot seem to put words to the page for the actual paper. Kind of frustrating.
