I work at the Trafalga in Orem. I say that again because people keep asking me where I work, and it's getting annoying. Anyway, as I work there, I've noticed a great amount of people coming and going, all on different levels of the maturity spectrum. It goes something like this:
10 – Adults who understand that some days aren't the best of days, so they try later.
9 - 6-9 year olds that understand that some days aren't the best of days, so they try later.
8 - College students who have a the best freakin' time of their lives anywhere they go.
7 - Older high school students ready to leave the system.
6 - Babies
5 – Middle schoolers
4 - Pre-teens
3 - Younger high school students that want to stand out in the system.
2 - Cranky dads that think the status quo is a universal principal that applies to every waking second.
1 - Older high school students that think they "subtly" get away with anything, and use every second to do so.
0 – Toddlers who think every second they're not in a Go-Kart, life is Hell.
Yeah, I think that's accurate enough. Yes, babies are that high on the chart. They're clueless. They see a Go-Kart. It's big and shiny and makes a loud noise. They crap themselves and drool a bit. Babies are just fine. They are far better to interact with than the father who believes every time he goes to Trafalga, everything will be working perfectly, and there will be a complimentary mint somewhere. Just like when he goes to those 3-star hotels on his business trips. You know, the ones where the nice Mexican ladies make your bed for you. And a free breakfast! Why doesn't this Trafalga have free breakfasts!? I'll curse at you while my family stands behind me! It's gonna be a long ride home, Kevin. Trafalga is evil. Remember that. I'm typing up a long ranting complaint email when I get home, and we're never coming here again.
That's fine by me. Good day, sir.
Do we honestly let these people wander around in society without slapping them in the face and letting them know they're destroying the younger generation? Crap happens. And we do our best to make it not happen. If it happens, we do our best to clean it up. Our best.
Not everyone holds the keys to the world. And the people who hold the big keys aren't always responsible. Go complain to a manager or a CEO. If it's their fault for making a faulty product, fine. Let them know what you thought wrong, and let them share why you think it's wrong as well. If all you didn't do was read the instruction booklet, or thought we could make some "special exception", you're gonna look like you were pantsed during the school play while your mother was getting your part on the video camera. Sucks, don't it? And who brought it on you? Yourself, of course. But how can that be? You're so flawless. You're a model human being who knows exactly how the world works. Balls no. You're an idiot. Learn how to appreciate what you have, and come back to see me. We'll discuss this when you're not dropping F-bombs in front of your 5-year-old son and 7-year-old daughter, sir. Can't wait to see how THEY turn out.
Wow. That rant was awesome.
