Well, as I said, I have a certain natural charm about me. I do much better in face-to-face situations than over the phone (or internet, for that matter).

Yes, grocery stores put the milk and eggs at the back of the store for the same reason. Customer convenience is NOT their prime consideration. It's always about the profits. I'm old enough to remember when customer service was the main concern for most businesses. Because if it wasn't, the customers would go to the competition's store. But now there really is no "competition's store". The giant monopolies have run them all out of business. And they all operate on the same profit imperative.
Where I live there is a Home Depot and a Lowe's just a few blocks from each other, and they operate exactly the same way. They sell all the same stuff, at the same prices, and they are equally indifferent to their customers. They don't compete at all, really. And the reason is because they both have the exact same business model, based entirely on whatever they decide is good for their own bottom line.

Judge yourself by how well you inspire service in staff.
This makes me Mister Rogers IRL....unlike my angry
groundskeeper internet persona.

Does that apply to paying employees? Because it sure doesn't seem to be how the capitalists see it. Better be careful not to let them hear you saying it, you might not get the royal treatment from the MegaBigBucks Store, anymore.
You're missing the perspective that I offer you.
If you treat staff better, they will give you better service.
Bad service is often caused by being a bad customer.
And sometimes, bad service is just a mistaken expectation,
ie, the customer wants something unreasonable, eg,
returning an item without a receipt, & being unwilling to
provide ID. (A friend of mine tries that. And he gets angry.)

You have no idea how I treat store employees. Like your capitalist cohorts, you are just presuming to blame the negative effects of capitalist greed on the effected customers. Because, of course, there is no capitalist greed in capitalist apologetics land. So everything would HAVE TO BE the customer's fault.
Your complaints about service speak volumes
about how you personally interact. So I advise
to be the change that you want in others.

I have no problem at all with store employees. I feel bad that they aren't being paid a respectful wage. You're just slandering me blindly because you can't accept the blatant corporate greed that shows up as selfish, rude, anti-customer policies in these giant conglomerate stores.
And yet, you see so much bad service.

As ever. Criminals target wherever they have most to gain, are the least likely to be caught,.and where the least effective precautions are in place.
This applies to organised crime and to all sorts of criminals, whatever their wealth or social status.
Stock shortages can be anything from entire truck loads to individual items.
Either can be diverted digitally. Just as easily as in-person.
When you are talking about billions going missing,. It is foolish to blame it on the local drunk or druggie or the poor.
Poor management Organised crime and internal criminality are far more likely suspects.
Stock shrinkage, at some level, are inevitable. However some are on paper only and the result of white collar crime,, with the goods not even existing.

I can not remember when I last had bad service from anyone.
How ever I neither expect nor ask for technical information from a shop floor sale person.
Sounds like you're a wise customer.

Well, sure, I'm not blinded by an obsession for ignoring capitalist greed.
No, you're obsessed with socialism.

Reminds me of the gas station I worked where the boss was such a wanker we all called him Fat ***. He ran a core few of us off, then they lost a lot of customers because he lost his good workers and couldn't replace them or hold on to anymore because of the high turnover rate (then he got caught stealing from the store and fired).

That's when you edit it down to size and twist it out of context as Romney did. His message was you didn't get there alone. Here's a link to the video without it being edited down to falsely make a point.

Republicans twist it to mean something he didn't.
Democrats twist it to mean something he didn't.
But he did say it.
