Do you believe that the customer is always right? Do you believe that its fair to blame the sales assistants if there is a problem with an item that you have bought and how would you react if they refuse to do what you want because they are following the company policy. Do you think its fair to reduce a worker to tears because you cant get what you want?
As someone who works in retail, im wondering your opinions on these things. Today i found myself in tears because of a customer who felt it was ok to shout at me because she had to wait to be served. I also watch a man shout at one of my colleagues because she was following company policy’s, which left her in tears and unable to face going back onto tills. When did it become acceptable to make a complete stranger cry because your not getting what you want? Are we not people too? Do we not have feelings?
All company’s have rules, regardless of whether its retail or not, so surely everyone who has ever worked must understand that by not following company policy she could potentially lose her job.
Now as somebody who spends a lot of my free time shopping i can also see it from the other side. Yes its annoying when you have to que to be served but unfortunately its one of those things, you either wait or you leave. By complaining not only do you waste more of your time you also holding up everybody else who it queueing. I also know how frustrating it is when you buy something only to get it home and find its faulty. However how many shops actually produce the items themselves? Most shops get stock from a supplier and so many times the fault is something that occurred before the item even arrived in store. How many shops have chance to check every item of stock is in perfect condition. Yes it would be brilliant if every thing you bought was in perfect condition but in reality there are never going to be.

I think Sometimes we need to remember that Shop workers are people too and actually people make mistakes and they have feelings. Shop workers are told to smile and be polite to every customer that walks through the door but when did people stop treating shop workers with the same respect?

The customer always thinks he/she’s right. So not true.

He never spends time with me anymore and says he can see the sin in my soul.
He is always out with his gang the disciples andcomes home after enjoying late night suppers with them.
He keeps getting drunk on wine and spouting lots of stuff about the Ark of the Covenant being a brilliant idea for a story about God, or something called Natzeyes.
He gets all hallucinogenic and says he can heal people and walk on water but he can’t even swim!!!

He doesn’t care that I worry a lot about him
He’s my Mexican friend!

You seem to be going through several things, and I don’t see a mentioned conceived of problem there. Oh wait, the drowning part. Yes, see how convinced he is of that, after being saved a couple of times.

ROlf.

I’m good at school and I can usually grab concepts quickly, but I’m the ultimate failure at life. Practical knowledge doesn’t work for me, I always daydream, when I have to make quick decisions I’m constantly stupid. I lack street smarts, I keep on making mistakes, despite coming out with something brilliant once in a while. Only when I’m angry I can actually do things right and quickly. Thoughts?
I’m eighteen, I think I’ve aged enough.

Be observant. We can learn a lot through observing others.
Be brave. We all have our times to be look stupid, being laughed at but most importantly we do not feel embarrassed too quickly. In other words, be ‘thick skinned’. No venture no gain. Just don’t repeat the same mistake over and over again.
Be persistent. Sometimes our ideas ‘failed’ because people are being too judgmental and they are not giving us time to prove ourselves. If you have done all your homework and done careful evaluation of feedback, and still think your idea works, then we just have to try again but may be with some modifications.
As in all cases, we become wiser through experience and continue learning.
You must be intelligent as you are doing well in school, that’s a good start. You just need to learn to live with the mass and help them accept your ideas.

Have you ever heard some lyrics and thought "that’s a really nice way to phrase it". Or heard a phrase or slang and thought "how did they come up with this?" Or seen a movie and thought something was so very brilliant. Whether it’s a quote, phrase, imagery, story, idea, painting, drawing, clothing, etc.

I always thought whoever comes up with something new, groundbreaking, clever, or creative are geniuses. I highly praise them. How do they come up with these ideas?

I started keeping a journal since I was 12. it strengthens my writing skills and helped me become more clever with words.

I cycle to school in the bitter cold so as you can imagine my face can get really dry, I also use facial products that tend to dry out my face so I always use a moisturiser. At the moment I use this Body Shop Seaweed one or something… but it isn’t brilliant for moisturising my face.

What good moisturisers are there that help my acne or at least won’t aggravate it? Preferably from the UK…

I had severe acne on my face. But then I use is Clinical Super Serum and the condition soon improved. The best thing about the serum is that it also fades post-acne marks and scars on the face. I’m still using it and the spots on my face are gradually fading away.

The worst thing about acne is the scars and the marks it leaves behind. Some of the scars tend to disappear with time but some are so grave that it can be disfiguring which may make our heart sink.

The post acne marks is the hyper pigmented or red marks and is called as the post inflammatory marks. These marks take at least 6-12 months to completely disappear. When these marks last longer than a year then it turns into a scar. A number of things could be done to reduce the redness and to quicken its pace to disappear. There are also a number of home remedies available. Following are some of them.

my dad is a matinence engineer but is looking to change his career path without going to collage or university, he is very smart and hard working, he is dedicated to whatever he does and will always give it 100%. Unfortinatley he can not attend university as we do not have enough money to support all those years studying. so basically he wants: - a well paying job, he is on a good wage now
and has a family to support.
- something that doesnt involve manufacturing
and overalls
- doesnt need to go to uni or collage
please i need your help, he is so unhappy at his current job. :))
something involving music or creativity would be brilliant, just need some advice and ideas

Be very careful and investigate opportunities fully before jumping in. Many people will show up with get rich quick schemes and they rarely work. It’s going to be hard to find something good paying with out going back to school but what about a job as a store manager or something like that. Best of luck to him.

I’m writing my friend an ItachixOC one-shot for her b-day and was wondering if you could help. I have this so far:

Now, I’m not perfect. I never was, and never will be. I’m just average. Average light brown hair cut tied back in a long ponytail, and dark blue eyes flecked with olive. I was dull. I wasn’t something cool, like a ninja or whatnot. I was just boring little me.
The one in the background. The one who wasn’t bad in class, but wasn’t brilliant either. My childhood was okay, but I always felt like something was missing.
I didn’t have an amazing figure either, I was small, slender and short, with small boobs and a narrow waist.
My name’s Kumiko, which ironic since it means ‘beautiful child’ and I’m not beautiful, and I’m not a child. I’m nineteen. My last name’s Miyamoto which means ‘base of the shrine’. And guess where I live? That’s right. At the base of a shrine in Konoha.

I was wondering if you could help me say how she would meet Itachi and make sure she doesn’t become Mary-Sue and Itachi doesn’t become OOC?

I have to be honest with you dear. I’m not a fan in how you started this story/one-shot. Why? Because I’ve seen so many, many OC stories that start like that. With the OC introducing herself to the readers and describing themselves.

It’s unoriginal and usually when stories start like that the OC is a Mary-Sue…or at least majority of the readers that come across stories like that, feel that they are even if they might not be one. But a better way to introduce your character into a story is by action (remember the old saying, show and not tell?) and let the readers find out for themselves

For example:

"Kumiko! What are you doing here?" a man shouted, drawing attention to a brown hairied young woman sweeping away the leaves from the ground.

Kumiko turned to look up at him, frowning.

"Oh, Hoshi. I live here of course."

"Here? At the Kono shrine?" Hoshi, replied looking a little surprise.

"Yes. I told you a couple of times before. Did you forget again?" Kumiko stated, her dark blue eyes flecked green in annoyance.

There you go. It’s not much but it’s a start. But doing it like that you can subtly hint that the main character’s eyes is dark blue, what her name is and where she lives. All that without writing a boring bio of her describing herself. There are many ways to hint about the character’s appearance and life without having a giant text of doom introducing them first thing in the story.

As for how she would meet Itachi maybe she met him during a mission he did as a child? Like he had a mission with two other teammates of his, to help with the shrine for a ceremony or the shrine asked them to protect something important to take to another shrine? Because Itachi’s smart and he was in classes that were for older students. So having them meet in school wouldn’t work because that would be implying that the OC is a ninja that suppose to be very well known for being in the same class as him if they are the same age. Which wouldn’t match with her being "The one in the background." and so on.

Just something that’s always had me scratching my head. Ever since a "mad" eccentric and brilliant science teacher once performed this experiment in front of our class many years back
He mixed some obviously very dangerous chemicals together and then consumed the contents unless we was all deceived )

That does not depend on pH. Mixing sodium and chlorine and reacting them will create salt, which in moderation is harmless, whereas sodium and chlorine are highly poisonous. Yet if the individual elements and salt were tested for pH, they would be neutral, since there is no hydrogen present to form hydronium ions that are the cause of acidity.

Toxicity depends on whether the substance triggers a response in the body that is harmful. This can happen with practically everything.

i love yahoo answers, nealry always i type my question into google and find someone else has asked the exact same question, and if i dont then my first stop is here. always someone with some knowlege on something. and alot of nice people willing to take the time to answr the questions often in great depth

Yup! Plus, it can kill a lot of time when you’re bored OR when you can’t sleep like right now!

I’ve been with my boyfriend for 8 months now, and things seem to be on a low at the moment. When we first started being a couple, he was diagnosed with depression and was really low, so much so he stopped going to work for 2 months, and was on anti-depressants. This time was hard obviously, but it seemed that when he was with me, he felt better and he always would send me texts saying how I was everything to him, and he would be with me his whole life, and would be very affectionate and loving. It felt like he needed me, and couldn’t be without me.
Now he’s managed to overcome the depression. He’s back at work and is out and about again which is brilliant news, but he doesn’t show me hardly any affection any more. I have confronted him about it, and we’ve argued endlessly about it, with him saying that he still loves me and is planning to spend his life with me, but it just doesn’t feel right. When we go out and his mates are around, he prefers to act like we’re not a couple (which he never did before!), he thinks we see each other too much and wants to spend time apart, and I just feel like I’m losing him. Is it me being needy? Or do you think there is something wrong?

I agree with Grace that you’re relationship has changed. When you first got to know your boyfriend you got to know the "needy" part of him which caused him to be more affectionate because he needed someone and you were there for him. Now he has become independent which is good but you’re now feeling that he doesn’t love you as much. I don’t think this is correct. The thing is you first got to love the "needy" him and you wish he can stay like that forever.
I think now you have to love the "independent" him.
