Yesterday I got a tuition refund check of over $1000 as well as $60 in withheld wages from my old job at my first uni. I haven’t worked there in four years.
I did not reblog a single one of those annoying money cat/grandma/kid/fish stick posts that endlessly cross my dash.
Sometimes good things just happen randomly.
As we get closer to the Christmas season, I’d like to remind everyone of the following:
- Being rude to food service workers is DANGEROUS.
- Haggling with cashiers in corporate retail will get you nowhere.
- Seasonal workers are crash course trained and barely know what they are doing. They are not going to know everything or may be wrong. Do NOT call them stupid.
- Please please PLEASE read company return policies on their website.
- Please please PLEASE read ALL THE PRINT on sale signs, ads, and coupons. They are intentionally designed to mislead you.
- If you are shopping on Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve or Day, or any other day or time of significance, do NOT complain to the employees that they “shouldn’t be working”. Most often, they get paid extra and want the money. But mostly because people like you want/need to shop at that time. Be GRATEFUL.
But above all:
- DON’T BE RUDE!! Patience and compassion will always get you better service, not worse.
Thank you!
The How to Train Your Dragons sequel was better than I could have anticipated, definitely go see it if you haven’t already!
