Cheap People

People are so cheap. On a regular basis people come in and spend 10~15 minutes of my time asking questions, and then don't buy anything. Sometimes I hear them telling their spouse, "We can get it cheaper at Wal-mart." If I hear that, I'm very honest with them—"You might be able to get something SIMILAR at Wal-mart, but it will NOT be the same quality and it will break or not work as well, making your life more difficult." They know the Wal-mart people don't know anything (if you can even find an employee to help you), so they come and ask us the questions and then buy the stuff there. The funny part: people have started coming back in and telling me that I was right—the latch broke, or the mechanical part was really loud, or whatever. I TOLD YOU SO!

I feel sorry for you. You're obviously trapped in a job that you hate, dealing with people that you can't stand dealing with. You have a collossal chip on your shoulder, so much so that you begrudge every minute portion of effort you spend on these people called "customers" that you really don't want. You're incredibly angst ridden and petty. That is most unfortunate for you. I advise you leave your job and seek an entirely different line of work. It may seem unthinkable at first, but you really would be happier in the end. This is clearly the wrong line of work for you. It's not working out. You deserve to be happy. Quit before your health suffers too badly.
