THIS IS A VERY ACCURATE ASSESSMENT ....I STRIVE TO COUNTER THIS CRUEL, SELF CENTERED,RUDE AND EGO DRIVEN BEHAVIOR....I CAN NOT COUNT HOW MANY TIMES I HAVE BEEN TOLD THANK U FOR YOUR KINDNESS/OR UNDERSTANDING....THE SERVICE SECTOR THAT IS OUT THERE IN THE PUBLIC IS SUFFERING FROM ABUSE. I, AT LEAST, WAS ABLE TO PUNCH A BUTTON AND PUT AN ASSHOLE ON HOLD....OF COURSE,I WAS POLITICALLY SAGACIOUS IN DOING SO.
I AM STUNNED AT THE UNCIVIL AND ANGRY APPROACH OF SOME ENCOUNTERS I HAVE HAD. IT IS A SAD AND UNACCEPTABLE SAGA......CHOOSE KINDNESS IS A FRAMED PHRASE,IT IS ON MY FRONT PORCH....I WAS SOMEWHAT TAKEN BACK WHEN i WENT TO A SPECIALIST MED. OFFICE.....A SIGN ON AN EASEL SAYS" CHECK YOUR ATTITUDE WHEN ENTERING",WE R DOING THE BEST WE CAN"....PLEASE BE CONSIDERATE AND KIND."
NOW I AM SEEING SIGNS ALL OVER THAT REMIND PEOPLE TO BE ON TIME WHEN AN APPT. IS MADE,AND STATING THE RESULTS IF U R LATE OR DO NOT SHOW UP.
WTF....NOT EVEN THE COURTESY TO CALL AND CANCEL TO A MED. OR VET OFFICE,OR 20 MINUTES LATE,AND THEN EXPECT NO REPERCUSSIONS.
