Attention all drive-thru customers.....
Bella says:
I saw you guys on the Tyra show and ever since then, not only have I read each and every entry you posted, but I have also been following you every day. Now, i go through something on a daily basis that irritates me to the core. So, I have decided to write a nice little letter to my customers in hopes that you will post it on your site...
take care and keep up the good job
Bella
Dear Drive-Thru customers.
Good morning and thank you for choosing our (insert company name here), May I help you? That sentence takes about 5 seconds to say. How much of a hurry do you have to be in to not be able to listen to it and feel the need to interrupt? It is rude when you interrupt ANYONE and believe it or not but the person on the other end of that line has a heartbeat just like everyone else. Not only that... but once putting your order in, please wait until I tell you to pull up before cutting me off and driving away. I am doing my job!! and dang it, I am good at it too! Don't look down at me cause I work in a coffee shop, it does not make me less of a person than you are. I have been trained to do and say things a certain way... so if deep inside you, you feel that you can't wait for me to do my job, then you have an option of choosing another location, or making your coffee for yourself at home. Losing ONE customer will not hurt my sales, or shatter my pride.
Last but not least? I have to say thank you and smile at you... why can't you say thank you back? we deserve it as much as you do....
But hey, Just a thought.
Have A GREAT Day!!

Facebook.....use it wisely
As Facebook rules most of our lives, I have something I need to point out to everyone. If you live in earlier times zones, please do not write about what great thing happened on my favorite TV show. Try to consider others. I will give you an example. The show, Lost, premiered this week and everyone and their mother had something to say about it. It would be nice to watch it and see these things for myself. Then we can discuss. Is it fair that I have to stay off Facebook and the many games I am addicted too because you are rude and inconsiderate...I think not. (By the way this goes for Twitter too) Anyway, I hope you all understand how important this in the grand scheme of things. I know you feel bad now, but sometimes people just need something pointed out. Thank you and have a nice day.

Do Not Mail : The Facts about Junk Mail

The Facts about Junk Mail
American mailboxes are inundated with junk mail. More than 100,000,000,000 pieces of junk mail are delivered each year—that’s more than 800 pieces per household. In fact, junk mail in the United States accounts for one-third of all the mail delivered in the world. Even though 44% of that mail goes to the landfill unopened, we still spend 8 months of our lives dealing with it all.
But junk mail does more than invade our homes and waste our time; it also destroys our environment.
Junk mail contributes to climate change — read our report, Climate Change Enclosed.
-
It takes more than 100 million trees to produce the total volume of junk mail that arrives in American mailboxes each year—that's the equivalent of clearcutting the entire Rocky Mountain National Park every 4 months.10
-
The manufacture of junk mail releases more greenhouse gas emissions per year than the emissions released by 9,372,000 million average passenger cars.11 Check out the side bar to find out more facts about the Junk Mail Effect, or read our full report.
-
The Canadian Boreal forms part of the greater Boreal Forest, which stores more carbon than any other terrestrial ecosystem on earth.12 Despite this natural ability to protect us from the effects of global warming, the Canadian Boreal is being logged at a rate of 2 acres a minute, 24 hours a day13 to produce junk mail and other paper products.
-
Deforestation of Indonesia’s tropical forests is responsible for 8% of global carbon emissions.14 This destruction is largely driven by demand for pulp and paper for end uses like junk mail. Logging contributes to Indonesia’s status as the world’s third largest emitter of CO2 into the Earth’s atmosphere, despite its relatively small size.15
-
Both Canada’s Boreal and Indonesia’s tropical forests are home to indigenous communities who depend on the land for hunting, fishing, economic development and cultural activities.
-
The Boreal provides critical habitat to caribou and half of North America’s songbird species.16 Indonesia is home to 12% of Earth’s mammal species, and 17% of all bird species.17 Many of these, including endangered orangutans and tigers, rely on Indonesia’s rapidly disappearing tropical rainforests for their survival.

Airline Rudeness
Art says:
How about those people that bring carry on luggage that is too big for the over head compartment.
They take all the time in the world trying to fit 40 pounds of s**t into a 10 pound can.

Pretty Grifter
[photo from Gothamist.com]From Gothamist:
"Ladies, pay no attention to this unflattering mugshot. (The lighting makes his neck look fat!) 57-year-old Solomon Nasser is quite the catch: He is a multi-millionaire with a private jet, he graduated with a PhD from MIT at age 22, he was a former CIA agent and advisor to President Bush, as well as a Navy admiral and an inventor with 80 patents. And look at that lush head of hair! Some lucky young lady's going to snatch him up any second unless you act now and help him out of his messy divorce. He just needs $125,000 or so. Any takers?"

Hey dummy, if you want me to take your class be a little nicer...
I am trying very hard to get myself into better shape. A friend told me you offered this great class and raved how I should try it. Well as soon as I stepped into your door it suddenly got very chilly. Why you ask? Oh because you were an a**hole! Yeah I said it. Instead of making me feel comfortable and welcomed, you made it seem like I had committed some crime, because I had a bad back. Just say I am worried that you will hurt yourself. Is that so difficult? No you had to be sarcastic about how I couldn't do the workout, etc, etc. If you want someone to buy your product try killing them with kindness. (FYI killing them with kindness is an expression, so please do not take it literally) But now that I think of it, you are a bit of a bonehead so you probably can't even read this. So why am I writing...cause maybe someone smarter then you will read it to you.

Hey Lady, who do you think you are? Driving is not a recreational sport.
Sometimes all a girl wants to do is go get a yogurt. That is all I wanted the other day. This one particular place I like to go is in a small shopping center. But every time I go there I notice something. These ladies that are driving and do not have time to look around for other cars going in and out of parking spots. Hello, you are mothers. Don't you think it is time to show some kind of example? Besides driving like there is no one else around, you have the nerve to be holding and talking on your cell phones. Seriously, Oprah just had a show about this and I thought all of you would at least listen to her. But no, you go on your merry way, almost crashing into my car. Then you have the nerve to make a nasty face at me. Were you raised in a barn? Sorry, that is insulting animals and they have more sense then all of you. Not only are you rude and self involved, but you procreated. How scary is that? You might be raising someone like you. Those poor kids never had a chance. Please do me a favor, wait till you get home to find out who is sleeping with whose husband. You can do it.....nah probably not you stupid wenches!

Retail Hell
"I work at the mall and I never thought I would have to clean some of the things I do. Today a family of five were acting kinda weird when they left the store. When I went to check the fitting room their daughter used, there was pee everywhere and our merchandise on top of or used as towels. They never told us and I had to clean it up. This is the biohazard bag that has the wet clothes in it. This is the second time this has happened to this store."
We want more tales of rudeness, with pictures or video...go ahead, it feels so good to rant!! Send all stories and pictures to mail.heyrude@gmail.com.
Thanks, Lolo!
