Everyone should work for a week in retail, like National Service, in order to reduce the number of terrible customers.

Retail is a very humbling experience but it still teaches you to value the customer before they go over your head.

Someone once asked me for a pen that people could do a fingerprint with that wouldn't smudge. I told them it doesn't exist and suggested a different way to do it (cards and photo corners so if it smudges they can do it again). They said that they can't do that because it's this weekend (that day being Thursday) and if I wasn't going to help then they were going to go somewhere else. I assured them that they were welcome to try another shop but it still wouldn't exist.

Yup. I sleep until like 6:50 and then i have to leave for school at 7:15, so my foolproof way to get ready is just do everything around midnight, and then go to sleep.
