i farted on my father once right next to his first date/GF, mostly for no reason at all. i'd got bitched at for doing it in the same room let alone in front of him either way, so why bother extra puckering?
as far as the general public goes.... my job at best buy was that i got paid to manipulate them out of their money. thats what got me my hours, and earned my paycheque. most employees knew it, and when they wanted me back, their jaws dropped when i told them my opinion. because they know it is true and are too ignorant to put 2 and 2 together themselves.
after 2 years of that, i finally gave up on retail and the general public both. i have seen and heard it all, and most people are fine, but there are even more people that are just fucking idiots.
then there are people who i bullshat (thats not even a word...) around with for over 2 hours because they were one of a kind - either religiously, scientifically, from other countries, had different views, or were actually intelligent life forms on 2 feet.
every job i have had that dealt with working for X company that did not involve food or factory work, involved lying to the general public or puersuading them in the companies favor or to even get a paycheque.
companies know that the general IQ is fucking low, and thats why you have multi-millionaires - people who can keep a straight face and sell bullshit all of their lives. even the shelves are laid out in walmart so that products that are not hard to reach sell more.
isles are laid out certain ways for this in stores, commericals and advertisements, drugs and doctors, its all around us.
i did it for 6 years, and i had enough. i wont get another job in retail for as long as i live. fuck that, id rather not have a life at all or a place to live. that is guilt i cannot and will not live with.
