Sheesh! EVERYONE is getting married!!!
Its the next wave. I had a bit of a break last year and half, but this year... BOOM. Literally, there is a boom in weddings. Grr...I hate when I feel like this, but I feel like getting married too! I found myself browsing through wedding dresses today. I was so tempted in buying one too! But I had to constantly remind myself that I AM NOT GETTING MARRIED. Sheesh!!! Help me. I mean if that is not bad enough, I even had a counter thought to that. I was thinking that I'll just get it now and if I ever get married I'll have a dress!!! Crazy me~!
Its funny because I'm not ready to be married. I just want to wear the dress and eat good food! I wanna go through the process of picking colour themes, bridesmaids and cake.
But afterwards, I have no interest in. LOL And most of all I don't the attention that a couple receives on that day.
I guess if you look at it closely all I really want is an extreme version of a prom.
~Sigh~

Customer Service
What I don't understand about today's service industry (esp. restaurants) is that they don't care about their customers. Day after day, time after time, I see people of all ages and ethnic backgrounds being rude to the people they serve. Why at this time of recession do people choose the only thing that keeps their customers coming? People don't buy stuff from you because your prices are so high that they feel like they want to empty their wallets on your establishment. They buy cause they have to, and they will choose ones with better service. Well, I do that. If I'm not satisfied with the service I'm receiving, I either leave immediately or just leave less tip. Yes, times are tough and they will get tougher. People like me are out there looking for places that stand out over others. Let this be a lesson to be learned. Everything is going up in prices, so if I am going to go out for a meal, I will choose the ones that show appreciation to their customers. I"m not asking for the royal treatment, but come on, just a decent "thanks" or "hi" or a smile will suffice. Is that too much to ask for?
I was with my significant other earlier today, and he was buying dinner at a Thai Express (I know, not fancy) but the girl at the register just looked at him waiting for his order, when she received it, she punched in the order and held out her hand wiggling her fingers, gesturing for the money. Kinda like the signal for "give it". I was appalled! Then on top of that she over charged him!! That was not a mistake because when he was waiting for his receipt I asked him what he ordered and she heard clearly what he told me and she double checked the receipt, but made no mention that she charged him for shrimp. That BIOTCH knew that she made a mistake and didn't tell him.
Ok, well anyway nonetheless that was only one of many situations that I had negative encounters with poor customer service. I wish store owners would realize the importance of customer service. And to train/hire their employees to draw customers in, and not to push them out the door. I will only go to places that know how to retain their customers via excellent customer service, and have good food. I hope those of you reading this will also be more wise in choosing a place to eat, drink or purchase clothing. For my last example and rant, I have not supported Forever 21 ever since I had an employee speak to me in a very rude manner about 2 years ago. You all must be thinking, "Ok, what do you expect, they are all considered lower places to eat and shop." But I guess I always think that no matter what you do, whether you are a water specialist or a CEO of a major company, there is always room to treat people with respect and have manners when interacting with them.
