I hate the way much of the public treats the people who serve them.
Yesterday I was at KFC. (Necessary instruction to socially awkward libertarians: do not lecture me about the evils of fast food; this misses the point of my story completely.) The poor cashier was running around like a madman, with one person after another demanding this or that, and half of them not even fully understanding what they had ordered.
In my case, my order got mixed up with someone else's, so I placed it on the counter and asked if I could please have the correct one.
The cashier told an older man waiting for his food that this was actually his order.
The man's response was to bellow: "Oh, no it isn't! That was already given out! I want a fresh one!"
Now to some extent, fair enough. (Although I recall being in a restaurant in Spain, seeing the waiter take uneaten bread from one table and place it on another, and nobody batting an eye.)
But this guy was just downright nasty. Would it have killed him to say, "I would prefer a freshly prepared one, please"?
An any rate, the man turned to me and said, "No offense to you, but you see my point!"
I replied, "I did not urinate on it, I assure you."
For some reason, that was immensely satisfying.
Now:
Dealing face-to-face with an unjustifiably angry public day after day has to beat anyone down. That's one reason I don't do it.
The beauty of what we're teaching in our webinar tomorrow is that your eCommerce store is run from the comfort of your laptop, and without having to deal with nasty people in your face.
You've heard our teacher, Aidan Booth, twice on the Tom Woods Show. He's been responsible for a boatload of success stories among my listeners who'd like to build something on the side or perhaps even escape a life of angry chicken buyers.
Just for showing up and watching the whole presentation, I'm giving away my $97 product for $0, and handing out cash prizes to 20 random people.
