Customer Service Training Module I

This is to assist my peeps with their "soft skills" in their interactions with the general public.

1. The customer is your enemy.
2. Body odor is a means of self expression: express yourself!
3. If someone asks a question that you do not understand, ignore them politely.
4. tHE VOICES ARE HELPING. oBEY THE VOICES.
5. Don't get mouthy.
6. Periodically adjust your drawers in full view of the public for max efficiency.
7. Think FUCK: Forget Unless Checked 'Kay?
8. Greet every patron two times to ensure that their feelings of self worth are constantly validated. (e.g. "Hello can I help you? Hello can I help you?")
9. Never turn down an opportunity.
10. More is better.
11. Meow is more.
12. Roger Moore was swank, is now a dud.
13. Use of firearms to make a sale is not permitted, except in case of error.
14. If a disturbance is created, move all customers to the Emergency Disturbance Area and demonstrate the "egg, crunch, n' roll" position.
15. If a customer is unable to communicate, attempt non-verbal prompting and say "Say?" again and again.
16. After every sale, say: "Thank you for your dollars! You have pretty hands!" It is only right.
17. BEFORE you get to the sales floor, ask yourself if you are having a rainbow day or a mud puddle day? How can you turn mud puddles into rainbows: only through defending the Great Leader against his vile enemies by smashing their heads with the iron fist of truth!
18. Just because CAN doesn't mean you ARE.
19. A mind is like an open parchute. It only opens above 10,000 feet.
20. There is no "u" in team. There is a "t" in team...but what kind is it?!?

Is it Earth Time Yet?

In the busy world of today, we all wish we had more time for the Earth. Sometimes we stare out of our office bubbles, car windows and arses. What are we thinking?

"I wish I had more time for the Earth."

Earth time is not to be confused with "birth time," an astrological designation of corporeal measurement or "green day" a new school emo band or "earth day" a thing that happens once a year.

When we celebrate earth day, we place all of our eggs into one little basket. We are lured into the complacent notion that, "hey, I don't need to think about the earth right now, because it is not yet earth day." And then what happpens? Earth day comes around and lo and behold, you don't have a whole day to spare for the Earth, your mother.

What many people don't understand is that the earth is a needy, cosmic entity that requires constant attention and petting.

Instead of one day, once a year, what the Earth needs is a little bit of LOVING, all the time.

When the earth gets hungry for loving, it gets ornery and one thing that none of us want is an ornery earth. When the strip miners and oil drillers do bad things to the earth, it's really negative but the earth is sitting there thinking:

"Yeah, but at least those fuckers pay attention to me!"

So instead of trying to spare a whole day that you do not have, why not spare a minute of your time, time spent on the earth...earth time.

Here's what to do:

Every day while at work, reach down and pat the floor once in awhile and say, "good little earth, good little earth. You're such a nice, happy little earth and I. Love. You!"

You may not hear anything right away, but just know that the earth listens to that, and really likes it a lot.
