*** REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR DISLIKES ***
To tell you the truth it really doesn't bother me to get asked
if I want cheese on my burger or a large drink, etc. Just say
"not today",  and leave it at that. What troubles me most is
the elitest attitude by some people on the net that seems to 
imply that all people in the service industries are slobbering
idiots. What seems to be lacking here is the acknowledgement
that the managements of these various organizations require
their personnel to say these things, it's part of their job.
Failure to do this could result in termination. If you don't
like it, write the company or patronize another place. I'm
getting tired of all the complaining here about such trivial
things when there are so many more important things we could
be discussing; such as the famine in Africa, peace in the Middle
East and Burt Reynolds hair piece. But since we must vent our
frustrations on petty problems, what bothers me most is the
Dairy Queen in my hometown that requires you to pay before
they fill your order. It shows a lack of trust and if there
were another DQ in own I'd go there. I think I'll call up
the owner and call him a slobbering idiot. Another thing that 
troubles me is the self serve gas stations in Calif. that make
you pay before you get gas. I'm really glad they don't have
self-serve in Oregon. There, I feel much better. Thank you for
your time......and, oh yes, thank you for shopping K-Mart.
