we must learn to live together as brothers and sisters and not die apart as fools...

Why aren't we communicating anymore? The Human race has never had so much tech devoted to this purpose. I am not quite sure we are communicating anymore. Cell phones we use to get in touch with people are also being used to the purpose of ignoring those in front of us, and in most cases we can filter what calls we take as well. Its funny to me how

One of the main reasons I left my last job (a customer service position). It seems as though no one cares anymore, and can even become angry with you for doing you job... which is to greet them, speak to them, and make them feel welcome. I was beyond frustrated with those who would just toss their items for purchase on the counter, along with their credit card, and walk to the other side of the register and continue their phone conversation, free from my congenial interruption. Un-fucking-believable what we've evolved into.

definitely. I am actually kind of lucky, most of my customers are pretty cool, I even have a lot of regulars that I know by name and such. But there are still those few jackasses that come in from time to time and get on my nerves.

I had a guy a couple of weeks ago literally (yes I mean literally) throw 100 dollar bills at me because the his estimate was 20 dollars cheaper than the actual price of the work. Some people just suck.

I dig what you are saying..
And concur about people not communicating..
But a lot of people just talk and don't say anything.
So, we have to work on both. First we need to get out of our bubble, then decide how to communicate with these other beings properly.

Couldn't agree more, friend.
