People are funny. I have customers come into my work place asking me why do we change this much for what we offer. And they tell us that they can get the same service some where's else cheaper. Instead of going to that cheaper place, they prefer to argue and make a scene in front of other customers just to get their point across. Is this not the ego, wanting what it wants? If they know they can get it cheaper some where's else, why don't they make the choice to go to this cheaper place?
I know for myself, when I want to buy something and I want a deal, I do my diligence. It's not that hard today with Google. Then what's funny , we also give two free items with out product, and they don't want the free items. What? It's free. And they argue that as well.
We had one woman come in for our services yesterday and when she came back, I asked her if I could help her. She said she was here to review the product we had done for her, and I said, " Oh yes , you were the large group of 8 or 10 people , I remember." She quickly snapped back and said," We were 8 of us and I think it would be important to remember that incase a homicide happened you would want to know how many people where here." Wooo. Watching too much CSI perhaps.
Is this the way people respond to daily remarks? What in the world is happening in their lives that would generate a response of this intensity? What could have happened in her life that would cause her to think of a thought that is so stressful? What is she attracting to her life, was my next question. I could maybe understand that because of her race, she may have gone through some really tough times in her past but why does she have to bring these thoughts into her daily life instead of looking at them and clearing them instead? I may have to bring in some sage to clear this place of the negative people that come in to out place of business.
People bring with them the energy they carry. If you are in a bad mood, you bring that with you all day , everywhere you go. You leave bits and pieces of that energy with a friend, or co-worker. No wonder our equipment keeps breaking down. The energy is so bad there that it cannot run properly. Everything is energy, and bad energy can affect equipment too. Since I've worked there, we've replaced out printer, out debit printer, a cord on a machine we use, our server computer went down this week also. It seems to be one thing after another. So I think it's sage time.
I also find that is I say what is true in the situation, I'm the one that is rude. That's makes me wonder what the other person heard me say. I had a customer and I told them that if they didn't want to make to purchase , that they had the choice to say no, and I'm the one that is called being rude. The truth is that they DO have the choice. They came into our business and decided to buy whatever we had to offer. Then if they are not satisfied with what we provide, they want us to chance the way we run the business in order to satisfy their needs. Isn't that a form of manipulation?
How long would businesses run if we catered to the exchange of needs a customer had? Not very long, I'm guessing. But yet there are many people out there that feel they have a right to go into any business they want and demand the price they ask for, and if they don't get what they want, the tantrum begins. Isn't in interesting. I'm sure not the only person out there that has experienced this . What is going on with people today. Do they go at Starbucks and demand a cheaper price on their $5.00 latte? I'm guessing not. Do they go to the hair salons and nail salons or massage salons and demand that the owners put down their prices also. No, why? Because it is a service.
To serve another is a privilege, not a right, just like driving. If we were not able to serve one another, one would wonder how long we would last here on earth. We can stop being so demanding and start being grateful that we have the ability to serve someone something they need, and be grateful that this service is offered. If we couldn't offer our service in the business I'm in, LOL let's just say, is there another planet pleeeeese......
