This is just a tiny thing that is really starting to make me roll my eyes a lot. The customers_suck community is NOT the grammar_nazis community. Why is it these days that every time there's a badly written post, nobody responds to the content, they just jump all over the grammar? I'm a grammar nazi myself, I get bugged by abuses of you're/your and this one gal's use of "paragraph's" made me wince too, but she was venting about work not writing a graded essay! And yet of all the comments to her post, 90% were about how it was one large block of text with bad grammar. That's just silly! If you hate big blocks of text, just use the scroll bar and don't read it, people.

I'd post this to the community in question, but it would be off topic, and I'd get jumped all over.

Ordinarily I might agree, but customers_suck is for retail workers to vent about the horrors of retail work. Have you ever worked a Walmart/McDonalds/Starbucks kind of job? (Those are the three whose employees I see ranting the most.)

I have not, but I know people who do, and I can see where you're going with that, because there are plenty of really stupid people that appear in those places and demand that the universe move itself to meet their conception of how things are. I think there was a Queen of Wands that explained it perfectly.

Yup, and it gets linked to in customers_suck a lot.
