A few months ago, an episode of Mad Men included a scene with a bottle of Yuengling beer with a period-accurate label, similar to this:
I love the little details on that show. #entertainment

Rejecting customers
|
Jul 9, 2012

I read this website called Not Always Right, which is a collection of stories from store owners and employees about their routine interactions with horrible and stupid customers. A standard story is about a customer ordering a meal at a restaurant, eating the whole thing, then complaining about it and expecting a free meal.
I have this dream of starting a business for the sole purpose of counteracting these people. They would come in my store, fail to read my signs properly or treat my employees disrespectfully, and I would walk up to them and say, "Get out of my store. I don't want your money." Simple business ethics and capitalism would suggest that these tactics might not help my bottom line. But I would argue that there are enough intelligent, rational, reasonable consumers out there who would realize how dumb it is to expect store owners to cater to stupidity and rudeness, and they would come buy my things at full price and with kindness. #business

[Watching TV with some friends; NFL Network is playing a top ten countdown of the Top Ten Jersey Numbers.]
Friend 1: "Who watches stupid stuff like this?"
Friend 2: "Let's just watch until the next number so we can confirm it's stupid." #entertainment
