Friday is here and it’s time for our weekly shoot-the-shit. This morning’s topic is a great one because it gives us an opportunity to vent in a non billable setting with equal or superior benefit. Venting be it mental, oral or digestive is a good thing, so here’s what pissed me off today.

Early this morning, I headed out to WALMART on my perpetual quest for the elusive .22LR ammunition. I’d have better luck finding the Holly Grail or a virgin living in the Upper East Side. Unscathed by my failure, I decided to swing by the produce department to pick up some fruit. I walked up to the banana section and saw a display that looked very much like this.

The entire display looked like this! I pointed that out to the employee working the produce section to which she replied, “I’m sorry they are all like this and that’s all we have.” I stood there dumbfounded and asked “is this what you want your customers taking home?” Reply, “well that’s all we have.” I stood there thinking where the hell is the section manager, or the store manager? So here’s what pisses me off – the presumption that a customer cares as little as you care about them.

Feel free to tell us about what pisses you off and have a safe and outstanding weekend everybody!
