Because the issue, despite the catalyst of the conversation, is still real. There IS a decline in customer service, in worker interaction, and in a general sense of community in this world.

"But...."
This is the problem. It can be both.
And I can't believe I'm trying to say this on some armchair warrior's page, but just be polite. Is that too much to ask?

That's true too. Target CAN suck, and people in retail CAN be polite at the same time. It's not that hard.

Wow. I'm going to lie and say you're right. Will that get help ease your blind fury?
I was defending the concept of being polite to customers. Anything beyond that is in your head - your problem, not mine.

Get over it.
Did you read the article? Nobody ever said follow the customers.
And I am horribly antisocial. Unfortunately for me, I have chosen various career paths that put me front and center in social situations. It's called being out of my comfort zone. That's how people grow.

What I actually said was: "I'm sorry, but that ACTUALLY is what people in retail SHOULD do ALL THE TIME. They need to acknowledge the customers, say hello, ask if they need help, count out change, say things like "have a nice day." Its called Customer Service."
I did not defend Target.
