I have no problem with a business making a profit, or an individual getting
a return on an investment. It's the snide attitude of this store's
employees that gets on my nerves. These are the kind of people who
trash-talk the customer who just left, and you know you're next. It's a
cliquish, junior high school attitude that has no place in business, but is
more prevalent all the time. And these aren't teenagers - they're grown
men.
Only the fair selection of bargain bin goodies makes patronizing the place
tolerable.
