Babies and Money
I read in the newspaper about babies having to drink less amount of milk because of the increase in price and I can't help feeling depressed. At such a young age they are already exposed to the hardship of life and have to face the cold reality that no matter where we are, money is required. They have only started off in life and they have suffer because of inflation and an unstable economy. Compared with the cave man/woman years, money has become more than just a piece of paper. Somehow, I think we value money too much, such that it influences our lifes and make us feel like we would die a horrible death if we did not have money. I want to say that 'Money isn't everything'. Honestly, it isn't. But then again, I can't say that I'll be able to live without money unless every human being is caring and will share among each other. If farmers give me food for free and there were no middlemen/women, or education is given to us without expecting pay or we produce things without wanting money or sold things without expecting revenue, then MAYBE I'll be able to live happily without money. AS we all know, humans are sinful as well as greedy. Our greed is going to lead us to destruction one day which adds on to our lust for money, thinking that it will lead to a better life. What do you think?
Consumers and Merchants
Well, I feel that the statement 'Customer are always right' is a ridiculous statement, unless you want lick the shoes of the customer. Is it RIGHT for the customer to scold us? Or even be rude to us just because they are paying for our products? Is it ALRIGHT for them to question the way we run our own business, when each person is different from the other? Are they right when they decide to be in debt and break promises when they have agreed to pay? I think customers make use of that statement to get everything going THEIR way. I'm not defending the merchants, because I am sure some merchants are perfectly horrid as well and they might cheat their customers to get more money, but both sides should be more understanding of each other's situation. That would make an ideal world, where there are no scoldings and we are all compassionate towards each other. That doesn't really work in real life I guess. As consumers and merchants, we should try to be in each other's shoes, so that we do not misuse the statement 'Customers are always Right'. I used to make jokes about me always being right because I'm a customer, but now that I'm working, I have to admit that some times, customers are too full of themselves to be always right, hence the statement should be, 'Customers are occasionally right', and merchants can question them at appropriate times. I seriously think that the statement 'Customers are always right' came from a frustrated customer who became a merchant. -_-". Just guessing.
My day was pretty good today. Although, I did wake up late and got scolded again by a customer. I guess it the statement does help when I want to stop myself from asking the customer to F*** off. Probably does help us a lil psychologically. Got home on time, it didn't rain (that is kind of a sad thing for me, but it is a great thing for everyone else). And Jo Ann is back!! hhahahaha......Yay!
