saturday the 14th
still trying to get this linking easily with my website... but...
inside everyone is there really a nice person? politically correct folks always say yes. it is a question i pose in my domestic violence/ anger management groups every once in a while as a good discussion topic. dont some folks just suck? in my beverly hills office neighborhood there are two chain restaurants. i like to listen to the server/manager comments. one manager mentioned that his chain likes to send new managers to this store to see if they make it there, cuz if they can handle the naricissism and arrogance of b.hills patrons, they can handle any place. b.h. clients are so good for reminding the servers 'do you know who i am?'... as if that gave an excuse for their rudeness... one of my favorite things was sitting at the counter one day at cpk, watching a young kid (11ish) come in, go to the take out counter where his mother was picking up her order - "mother the parking nazi's is trying to give you a ticket, do you want me to go out and give her a piece of my mind or do you want to come out and do it?"... she was parked in the redzone, impeding traffic... but junior had already been taught the mom and he were special, that the red zone was for them, the laws for others. he should have come in and suggested mom move her car... ugh... naricissism runs rampant in all areas, but so much in b.h. i watch new servers come in and either get hardened, or... sink. its okay to be nice as a server, but they have set boundaries often in the neighborhood. in my program i see this over and over, the law/rules apply to 'them', not to me.
