> Let me ask you a question: What HARM will come from helping someone out? Even if it means holding their hand? I can’t think of any, because if you go out of your way to help someone, they will tend to remember that. And instead of stopping at Allah Ashids gas station up the road, they are going to come back to your because all they remember is a friendly, helpful staff.

> Going along the same line, what GOOD will come out of not helping someone, even if it means holding their hand? There is nothing that I can think of, rather than, you didn’t have to take an extra two breathes to explain to them where the bathroom is.

> Unfortunately, in todays business world your line of thinking is very popular with most employees, and that is not acceptable. In order to stand out I do things that other companies aren’t doing right now. Rather than have my employees dressed in normal clothes like most places, they HAVE to dress up. The office HAS to be clean and comfortable, and the customer service HAS to be top priority. Why? Because people remember that shit. They remember the nice clean, respectful, helpful, well dressed people who helped them and will want to business with them rather than a bunch of whiney, dressed like they hate their jobs, disrespectful people.

oh, no no, i didnt mean to come this way. all i do is help here at work. im always doing shit im not supposed to be doing, just because. im just saying that it happens a lot and it will happen, its just how people are. if youre not in that mental state where you realize this and are willing to deal with it, you’ll need to find a different job. theres a million different job out there, but a lot of them are similar in a way that youre dealing with people all the time. especially things like retail, where youre always dealing with different people. yea, theres a few regulars, but for the most part its all different people. i used to work retail and customer service and stuff. i know exactly how it is. you NEED to be able to just help out with the stupidest most obvious things. exactly like Vlad mentioned, if theres a GIANT “restroom” sign plastered on th wall right in front of their face and they ask where it is, just tell em. you guys remember how in the movie clerks Dante has to tell people how much things cost when theyre clearly marked? same thing.
