YOu have validated my point.....perhaps as Harvey says......were she trained.....
One thing I have learned in business is there is no job too small and no customer to be ignored or treated poorly ( no person should either for that matter).....because you just don't know who is who....as Jeanette pointed out. one cannot judge by looks.....
There is a story about Ronnie Hawkins, a Candadian rocker from the 50's....made TONS of money... he wanted to buy a Rolls Royce........so he went to the dealer.....in shabby jeans, long hair, and asked to see one...to drive one...while he waited for the sales rep, he looked in the windows, kicked the tires...( gently of course)...touch the metal......
The salesperson came over and scolded him......told him not to touch the car.....and when Ronnie asked him if he could drive it.....said NO!.......well, Hawkins asked to see the manager........went into the managers office and let the manager look inside the bag he was carrying.....
The manager came out, found the sales person, told him to let Ronnie do what ever he wanted.......after the test drive........Ronnie Hawkins, much to the amazement and dismay of the sales person, upturned the bag, and dumped enough cash on the floor to pay for the car......
This story came from an interview he did on a show in the late sixties called Rock Canada. It might be urban legend, it might not, but it does show that one cannot be too quick to judge......which brings me back to my original point....... :-(

Near the begining of the year my power went off. To make a long story short, my power bill was current but they said we owed over $1600 for gas service. It took over three days to get it back on. It seems that the person who turned it back on is the only one at Peco that was aware that my entire area does not have gas service.
No service available but they did something that showed us as not paying the gas bill so they shut the electricity.
Hard to run a laser with no power.

That doesn't surprise me. In a former life ;-) I traveled around working in many chain stores after business hours. While working with an ear open I got to be a fly on the wall on employee meetings and a lot more.
The bigger chains were very demanding of even part time high school employees and had very specific goals and tracking of performance down to the penny and minute.
For what they get paid I was amazed at what they expect and get from their help.

Jeanette & David,
Harv & I attended a very traditional wedding on Sunday. The bride, the daughter of an old friend, is today a high school English teacher. Ten years ago she was a fifteen year old yuk who wore only torn black and metal, had green hair, ran away at whim and was a general pain in the rear. What happened? She grew up.
Dee
BTW She paid for all those ugly clothes by being an assistant manager at a store in the mall.
