Adventures at the store in a multicultural world

So I go to this store to buy cheap laptop. I ask for assistance from the assistant manager only thing is his accent is so thick I can't understand a damn thing he's saying. I use the I can't hear so well to get the dude to repeat himself but sometimes i still couldn't figure out what he was saying. He started getting annoyed with me cause I couldn't understand him. Ah don't you love this fantabulous multicultural world we live in. FUCK!

I always make sure I'm dealing with an American before I start a
conversation with a sales rep. If there arent any around I find
some place else to shop. Two weeks ago I ordered flowers over the
phone and got a call center in India and had to repeat myself so
many times I simply do not do business there anymore. If I need
a contractor to do work at my house I have a small pile of
business cards from outfits I know hire American only and will
not do business with anybody else. Sometimes it's difficult but
I feel better in the long run.

I'd love to blast them for it, but it isn't the cashier's fault. It was probably the idea of some overpaid bozo who probably hasn't seen the inside of his restaurants for years who knew that if the idea worked he'd get a bigger bonus, and if not a bunch of low paid employees would get sh-t.

I find many times the only english they speak at fast fooders pertains to whats on menu and sort of how to make change any variation from this agenda gets you a blank look from the fast fooder who no compredene question or request

I just keep telling them "I don't understand you." and that pisses them off...

I also recommend the Chik-fil-A in Fairfax off 50/29....all the kids that take the orders are white...and it is a pleasure to go to this drive thru..

Teri, my dear, please take a break from work.....we must grieve properly for the death of our son, Reynold. I know these feelings are hard to confront, but we must.

I apologize to those I unfairly hurt. To Harry Tuttle in particular.
