I browsed a few minutes, found something I wanted to buy, then walked up to the counter. They ignored me for three full minutes, working on whatever they were working on. They wouldn't even look at me, although they had to see me, I was two feet from them and obviously waiting for help. Not even a "I'll be with you in a few minutes", just talking between themselves about whatever they were working on. I walked out. I peeled out in the 100 and I think I saw a piece of gravel hit the big window at the front of the store.

Dumbshits lost my business forever.

if you hadn't spun rocks at their windows, I would have suggested e-mailing the manager... but you might just want to let that one lie

Bad economies tend to bring more "customers" to my employer, by contrast.

problem is often that to "cut costs" they'll not pay front end staff well. bad idea

that's the last place to cut costs.

If you look at that dipshit co-op, they were throwing so much money out the window in bad business rules and bad process.

I tried to get them to establish one set of rules, make everyone follow them, then write the software to match the best practices, but I was wasting my time.

email? That's a pretty good one. This store is lucky to have a phone book entry much less internet presence. email

Because she knows that all cats are secretly plotting to kill us in our sleep.
