Smash Me Customer Doll

I would design a smash me customer doll. It would have a detachable head with multiple different heads that you could replace it with. Working in the department store industry I have dealt with several customers that I wish I could strangle them and I know that I'm not the only one.
I had a customer come in the other day asking to return and Xbox that his kid had smashed out of frustration with a game. When I told him we could not accept it he got mad stating he had just bought it two weeks ago and we should take it back and give him a new one. I told him that if it was damaged when he took it out of the box I could return it but because it was damaged by his kid after he had used it then it voided the warranty.
I also hate the customers that come in five minutes before closing and then get mad when you tell them they have to leave at closing time. They knew that the store was closing because I told them when they walked and it is posted on the door but they think that just means you have to be in the door and then you can stay until you are done shopping.

Greed is good

Greed can be good in some ways but it can hurt you also. To me greed means wanting something more than others. When you apply for a job you have to be greedy to get the job if you don’t want the job the most chances are it is going to show in the interview and you will not get hired somebody else who wanted I more will. You also want to be greedy went it comes to your family, you want to provide for them the best that you can and by being greedy when it comes to pay or time at work you can do that. The person that goes into a job and doesn’t fight for a bigger pay check is going to get the minimum wage and if you don’t work all the hour you are given or even more if asked you are going to be going home with less than you could have.
Then there is bad greed like we saw in the move. When you are out just to make money no matter what the expense it can come back to get you. "Executive who new the firm was heading for bankruptcy were queitly selling their share of stock while encouraging employees to retain and even buy additional share" Essential of Business Law Anthony L Liuzzo pg 18.People who sell a company just to get the big pay check but don’t care about the people that lost their jobs or everything they had because of the buyout. When that person goes to get a new job or a new investment may get turned away because of what happened at their last company.

Myspace hoax Comment

"Even if she didn’t pull the trigger herself, as she exclaimed to reporters, she definitely handed the girl a loaded weapon and pointed it in the right direction."

I think Anthony brings up a good point. Sometimes we do things to people to make them do what they are already thinking about doing it called peer presure. Sometimes all people need is a little nudge. I work security for a department store here in town and i see it all the time. Kids will come in the store with friends and steal because their friends say they should it would be fun when we ask them why they don't now why they just do it. I think thats alot like this store she didnt make her kill herself but she gave her a good nudge in that direction.

"I think the acts committed by Lori Drew and her daughter, are not criminal. Life is life and people can’t legally be held responsible for causing someone to have a bad day. Lori Drew is not responsible for the state of mind of the 13 year old, nor her weight or her choice in friends."
I can’t believe somebody could think like this. No Lori Drew is not to blame for the girl state at the time but she knew about it and she knew that was she was doing was only going to make makers worse. Lori and her daughter didn’t just cause the girl to have a “bad day” they cause all sorts of undo harm to her selfasteem and reputation. Loriand her daughter didn’t know that was going to end up how it did but they certainly played a role in making it happen

“In all, I feel that Megan’s parents are to blame in this situation. If they did not allow Megan to start a MySpace account, this would have never happened.”

I somewhat agree with this. Yes the parents are partly to blame because they should have been regulating her MySpace use better but kids are going to be kids. It doesn’t matter what you do if they want to do something then they are going to find a way to do it.
