Here we go...

Alright, first blog entry...
I guess I'm doing this to satiate the minds of people who have told me that I need to write a blog. Either they are glutton for punishment or they really do enjoy the things I have to say. Often, I have a lot to say about nothing. A number of people have said that I need to do a blog for the things that I bake. Yes, this will be about that, however I get fired up and have to vent a good bit so I might as well use this as an outlet for some of my rants. I'm a girl with a lot of pet peeves and something seems to always be poking at them. The one that's being irritated right now has to do with people that don't say "thank you."
I'm a stickler for "thank you" and "you're welcome." I firmly believe in the need for good manners. If I go some place and make a purchase I'm going to tell them thank you, and I expect them to tell me thank you for giving them business. Especially right now with the economy trying to make a come back, you should be letting your customers know that you appreciate them! Well, Chick-Fil-A is kind of an exception to this rule regarding the economy. Their parking lot from the time they open until they close is not a good indicator of a poor economy. Good gracious those people do a lot of business! Even with Sundays off they have got to pull in more money then any cheaper fast food place that is open 24hrs a day! But I digress... Last night at a certain fast food place the girl at the drive thru window never even spoke to me. The guy handing me my food told me what to pay and said she would take my money. She took my money, gave me the change, and that was that. No "how are you?" no "thank you" no "have a nice day." I drove off and said to myself that I was going to call and complain. Then told myself that I was just kidding because I've been to this particular place all of 2 times in my life so I really don't care how rude she is because chances are high that I won't ever be back to even notice a change. I really don't think Dave Thomas, founder of Wendy's, would appreciate her rude customer service skills and may even be rolling over in his grave knowing that people like this are working in his restaurants world wide. Would it even do any good for me to make a phone call? I'm guessing no. Maybe I'll get an apology and maybe I'll get a coupon. Either way, it doesn't change the fact that she has a bad attitude and should be glad to have a job in the first place.
