Back on the Big Box Rant!

  Next time you stand in line at your local Big Box store,look around at the long lines and the empty cash registers.You will no doubt be wondering ,why they are in fact not being used.The reason is store budget. It is cheaper to  have poor customer service,than employ more people. They know you will be back. They could care less about you . Not your money. That they love. But to make you wait in purgatory to check out ? Not an issue. To make you wonder around  the store looking for a product? not an issue. To bring you in ,saying the have an item on sale and have it be out of stock? Not an issue. They only got 10 of them to begin with,but sent out 2000 fliers.. Who cares! You are in the store aren't you?
  Look at the faces that are employed there. How many happy ones will you see. How many are working two jobs,just to survive. How many are on food stamps ,just so they can feed they're families?  And how many do not have insurance,because they either don't get enough hours,or it is too expensive ,on the pay they make.
 Take a look around and see how many older people are employed. Think about the jobs they lost, because it was cheaper for their company's to send the contracts to China,Mexico,India,etc. How many  "Main St." business's are shut down,and now these workers are here.
  This is the sad fact of what this country has become. Low paying ,I don't give a damn attitude. The workers hate their jobs. And the employers hate the workers . They employer mind set is that workers are out to screw them somehow. And the workers know the the employer's are screwing them . No one is happy.  The days of long term employment is over. The days of worker loyalty is over. The days of low paying ..if you don't like it,  then hit the bricks ....is now!
  The answer is ,at least for me ,is to not shop in a Big Box.I know that somehow they will still survive with out my  couple hundred a month. But what about yours....and yours...and yours???  Education is the key. If more people knew that they aren't saving a nickel,but in actuality costing the country untold billions of dollars every year. things might change.
  I am doing my part. I hope you can do yours.
