Wow! I completely feel you on the customer service thing. I have found that if you even ask a simple question they get this annoyed look on their face as if you have just inconvenienced them. Heaven forbid! I have even greeted a few cashiers only to be ignored, not even a nod of acknowledgement. I then usually mumble something that I was thinking inside of my head like "good afternoon to you too ma'am" sarcastically, of course! .-= Alison Rowe´s last blog ..I heart cherry blossoms! =-.

[...] know, I think I should be more like Jen and talk to myself out loud. Or be like little Brick on The Middle who speaks a sentence, looks [...]

OK, after reading two of your posts, I officially love you. Laughed out loud. Yes, I talk to myself. Yes, I rehearse. And yes, I walk out the door with some commentary of what I coulda, shoulda, woulda had I been rehearsed... .-= Sasha´s last blog ..Listen to Isaac and Yourself, Come As You Are =-.

My oldest is a 5th grader, and will bring home math worksheets, sometimes with math that is a little more advanced. Which is great! I love that he’s being challenged. But there are NEVER any instructions and he doesn’t have a book to use as a reference, if her were to need it. Occasionally he doesn’t remember what to do. Drives me NUTS!! I feel your pain sister. And I’m sorry, but it hasn’t gotten any easier from the time he was in 1st grade.

I have always been one of those people who talks to myself. In my case, I think it is a reaction to being an only child. I have found myself accidentally complaining about people aloud. It seems to tick them off.

Pricilla: I’m pretty sure food shopping is better here than in NJ too. I really miss the farmer’s markets but that has more to do with wanting fresh veggies than a different shopping experience.

Stephanie: I’m pretty sure I do it more but I really don’t know for sure. I have always talked to myself and I notice when my daughter plays dolls she does this very thing. I may have never not been doing it.

MOB: I thought that too, that since I “get out” what I want to say everyday I shouldn’t talk to myself but that just gives me more to talk about.

Mrsblogalot: Except all the check out lines will be self check out and there won’t be jobs for humans in the store, except for the people who stock things but don’t actually know where anything is.

Question:
Why are canned tomatoes in one aisle and tomato sauce, Ragu and diced tomatoes in another aisle? Every grocery store out here is set up this way. It doesn’t make any sense to me.

So many voices I don't know who's talking inside or out. I usually go to the self checkout line. I find it easier and faster to do it myself. My son thinks it's fun but I know the stores are secretly laughing at us because when he's a teenager and ready to apply for his first cashier job-he'll already be fully trained from years of self check out! .-= mrsblogalot´s last blog ..The Secret Is Out =-.

You would think having a blog, you would actually talk less, but that isn't the case.... Customer service went a long time ago. I mean real customer service when people actually cared. Now they have to say greetings and go by the companies customer rules of engagement. I think that is why internet sales are going up and up, Walmart posted 46% gains online over last year. .-= Man Over Board´s last blog ..The Kama Sutra and the 21st Century Guy =-.

I find myself doing this more and more. I blame it on being home alone so much of the time and who else do I have to talk to? .-= Stephanie´s last blog ..Super Bowl Sunday =-.
