The people typically working in a fast food facility are those that do not necessarily want to be there, yet they have to be because either a] they are high school drop-outs who can never aspire to do anything further with their lives as a direct result of their lack of integral schooling throughout their so-called youth, or b] they are a bitter or indifferent teenager looking to make a decent bit of cash to buy the new Grand Theft Auto or something else that is equally beneficial and/or enticing. The irony lies in the fact that customers do not, under any circumstances, want to deal with these rude individuals. It would be so much more simple if the people working for Checkers enjoyed their line of work, but the reality is that they probably never will. And unless we make a line of Sarah Brown robots programmed to keep an everlasting smile, this will almost always be the case.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8275266380178644719/4866912433702697733/comments/default/3917811352546486504'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8275266380178644719/4866912433702697733/comments/default/3917811352546486504'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://boyforwords.blogspot.com/2008/07/tales-from-hood.html?showComment=1217168700000#c3917811352546486504' title=''/><author><name>lydia grace</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16206540720390929356</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://boyforwords.blogspot.com/2008/07/tales-from-hood.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8275266380178644719.post-4866912433702697733' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8275266380178644719/posts/default/4866912433702697733' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8275266380178644719.post-4238008887318706079</id><published>2008-07-24T16:30:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-07-24T16:30:00.000-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Hey Man, I feel you..I just wrote a post on simula...</title><content type='html'>Hey Man, I feel you..I just wrote a post on simular bad customer service on my blog at an IHOP (See&lt;BR/&gt;"Pancake Flip") It was in a white neighborhood, but the server was Black.
