5 Reasons Bush isn’t as Stupid as you think
Since I picked on Dubya last week here is some inspiration:
5 Reasons Bush is not as Stupid as you think
Now don’t misunderestimate me!
Prison vs. Work
IN PRISON: You spend the majority of your time in a 10X10 cell.
AT WORK: You spend the majority of your time in an 8X8 cubicle.
IN PRISON: You get three meals a day.
AT WORK: You get a break for one meal and you have to pay for it.
IN PRISON: You get time off for good behavior.
AT WORK: You get more work for good behavior.
IN PRISON: The guard locks and unlocks all the doors for you.
AT WORK: You must often carry a security card and open all the doors for yourself.
IN PRISON: You can watch TV and play games.
AT WORK: You could get fired for watching TV and playing games.
IN PRISON: You get your own toilet.
AT WORK: You have to share the toilet with some people who pee on the seat.

Too Many Accounts
I really need to close some of my checking accounts. I think I’m up to 5 already.
I accumulated them while growing up and moving from bank to bank without every closing the last. One account I moved on because they sent me a letter by mistake, telling me they were going to start charging my “student” account unless I carried a minimum balance.
I switched banks the next day, after finding out the letter was a mistake. My rationale was that if they could mess up something like that why should they control my finances? Yeah, I was a hard a** even at a young age.
Anyway, I never did close that account. There has been $7.47 in that account since the day I switched, after writing a couple of checks to draw it to near zero…
I just figured it out that was 10 years ago. They have been sending me a bank statement every month since then. That’s 120 bank statements that cost them postage every time. I know they probably get a bulk mail discount but it has to at least cost them 20 cents a statement. That’s $24 in postage over the years plus administration costs, whatever that might be.
Point is, businesses should always do their best to retain customers otherwise their clients become a liability as in this case.
Why is customer service so hard these days?
