Customer Service *Warning...Rant*

I'd have to say geography plays a big role in customer service. I've drove all over Ohio, Kentucky and a good deal of Indiana for nearly 15 years doing HVAC service work and have seen it go both ways. Some places are really funny in the differences in customer service and over all friendliness of people, go anywhere in downtown Cincinnati get treated like crap, go straight across the bridge the northern Kentucky and it's a completely different story. Same way with a lot of the small towns in SE Indiana, things run at a slower pace and people aren't only concerned with themselves

Have you ever tried out for jeopardy?

Seriously.


Wife says i come off as a prick sometimes. Even though i dont mean to. Im kind of a rough guy, pretty straightforward, no BS type. Plus im 6'1 and built like a brick shithouse. So maybe i intimidate??

I dont know. Maybe it is me lol.

Same...
... except I'm not that built and I'm only 5'9". Lol.

This is funny bc its true. We do foster care and I swear every teen that we see has three categories for EVERYTHING in their life and they are the "don't care", "don't know" and "don't wanna" unless it relates to food then they are all about it. I also feel that people get what they give off. So if you walk into the store with a stick up your ass about everyone around you then you wont get the greatest service. Where I live everyone is pretty nice and are honestly caring in what they are doing. You still run into the prick who needs a tooth knocked out for how he's acting but you'll have that. I live by the Golden Rule and treat karma as if it is as real as life itself and my life is pretty good on most days. Technology has changed humans in general. Whether that is for the best depends on the person themselves. You know the saying, "you can lead a horse to water but you cant make it drink" is true shit. We had foster kids that just didn't care about anything but playing with toys and on tablets or phones when in reality you 15 and can't figure out 6x3=????? (seriously, did not know the answer without drawing little hash marks on the paper...… Err, today's kids are going to be tomorrows PITA.

That's just the attitude we get. Unless kids can benefit from whatever they do, they don't want to do it. The one that couldn't do math literally all his life just tried giving up and not learning basic math so that the parent or teacher whoever it was, would either get so annoyed they would either give him the answer or they would give him a passing grade for doing part of the work where everyone else has to do it all. It's frustrating as hell watching someone that old struggle with first grade math. Kids just want everything handed to them instead of earning it and that doesn't fly in my house. We try to teach kids about the real world bc the real world doesn't care what you struggle with bc they have 15 other people wanting the same job you do. They think that since they are foster kids that they should be given an unfair advantage in life but that advantage doesn't follow you when you are out of foster care. But its the same thing about that horse with the water. Oh yeah, PJTOLEDO, no they didn't tell or text me that but that is the main factor in the equation whenever they are either failing school, lying, etc. I'm not saying his is every kid in foster care bc its not. That is just a large population that we notice in teens in foster care. "don't care" is probably the biggest issue with them.

We had to learn how to do math because we wouldn't always be able to have a calculator with us when we grew up...

I still chuckle about that line.

All of that attitude youre describing is a direct result of the "everyone gets a trophy" mentality.

Why should they work as hard as the other kids when they know there going to get the same reward when done?

And why should the kids with the drive to do better do better when they know that their efforts arnt going to bring them anything special?

Unfourtantly our government is picking up on this and doing their best to legislate everyone "equal".
