re: Bad things that need to stop

Bluetooth ear buds while shopping.

Who the hell are you that you have to be on the phone all the damn time. IT's rude and annoying. If confuses the hell out of me because I think you're talking to me.

I do #3 but with drinks all the time. No cashier has even as much as batted an eye.

Jokes on you, I just dump the carton in shelves and go about shopping.

1. Bowties
2. Speaker phone in public
3. Justin Bieber

Allowing people to consume packaged food in the store encourages theft/shrinkage.

But there can be no excuse for the scumbags who pull a few grapes off a bunch or allow their kids to do the same and then leave the bunch behind. You’re not an animal; stop grazing!

1. People who stand in the elevator doorway, never contemplating that someone may be coming out before they can board.

2. Similar to above, Bus/subway etiquette. Let people off before you board.

3. Pedestrians that stand on the edge of the curb or in the street waiting to cross. Honestly, take 3 steps back, why do you
need to expose yourself to risk for a 1-2 second lead?

4. Accents. Why do people have any "domestic" accent? We all watched cable TV growing up, why doesn't every one have the standard TV accent. ie. Baton Rouge accent vs Boston/New Orleans/Lafayette/Georgia dialects.

5. High heel shoes. 150k women at a cost of 1 billion spent annually on Bunion surgery, not taking into account missed time from work and lost work productivity. All so women can look sexier at work? Sexier is not a work place defensible practice.

6. Make up. Men and women both use to wear make up. War paint, powder, etc. But it's not natural, is a costly undertaking for continual maintenance, and an unhealthy obsession. Again, beauty is not a defensible work place justification.

7. Noise making vehicles. Radio, exhaust, or engine.

8. Having a conversation longer than 15 secs on your phone or in person while in a crowded area. This comes from the concept of replicability. If everyone can't do what you're doing, then you shouldn't do it either. If 100 people on a bus, and all 100 pulled out their phone and began having an extended conversation, it would be chaos as no one would be able to hear anything.

I've worked in retail loss prevention. Common for people to walk up to hot food bar, get a bag full of wings, etc, walk around the store eating, then throw the chicken bones on the floor before leaving. Just one example of customer behavior.
