Last month, Whole Foods revealed that it would open a line of grocery stores “geared to millennial shoppers,” with a “curated selection,” “streamlined design” and “innovative technology.”

I hate loving everything about this sentence.

Maybe advertisers have always done this and I'm just now noticing, but anyway, it seems like a lot of companies are doing this thing we're they make a mini documentary or social experiment to see what people will say and we're supposed to be surprised and/or inspired and/or moved to tears by the outcome. That's cool I guess, but I always wonder if they're entirely scripted or they just go through X number of participants to get the reactions they want. Take this one, for example. I really have trouble believing it. I just feel like it would be the kids naming pop stars and celebs and the parents saying "I just want my kids to put down the video games for 5 minutes and eat at the dinner table."

So loving terrible, you know they're fake. It's scripted to high hell and kids can't act for poo poo. Put piano and cello music in the background and have middle aged white women cry for some real dumb reason

Another example

The key word in that "blog" is Canada. We're on of the markets where they've spent a bunch of money renovating and launching trying to go more upscale. They've been running TV ads trying to play it up as a great place for young people to work as well (which is sort of true even if it's mostly because we've got decent minimum wage laws).

Here's on the TV spot they've been running:

The biggest problem is that we've trained customers to be lovely. If a customer is nasty enough usually customer service will give them something free or a big discount to get them to shut up and go away. Want to pay less for your cell phone? Just scream at the guy at the customer support line until they give you a discount. People have learned that businesses, big ones especially, reward lovely, abusive behavior. Conversely if you're nice and decent then there are companies that will deliberately try to rip you off.

Which of course just makes retail work suck even more than it already does.

Which is why I loving love working customer service for a government entity, I don't have to worry about keeping someone happy just because we need their money and I certainly don't have to really care if they ask for a supervisor. I give them the information they need and that's it, I can be as nice and as terse as I want it loving rules.


I'm nice no matter what but I don't have to have some middle manager asking me why I'm not smiling all the time.
