Ah yes, the annual Calgary service sucks thread. I think we may even be a month or two overdue. Anyway, this stuff is classic, I like to read these because I think the stories are hilarious. Especially hilarious in this thread are the gross generalizations regarding "them damn kids" spoiled by "daddy's oil money", which I'm guessing is probably not confirmed by a survey of service workers.
Look, I know that people in the service industry are automatically assumed to be your bitch for the moment because they chose a job in the service industry, but a lot of customers are total ######bags as has been noted in this thread (and every previous "Calgary service sucks thread").
Now then, please respond and tell me I haven't travelled anywhere so I don't know how bad we have it. I'm going to guess that there's:
a) no way of telling in comparison how bad one place is for service vs. another unless it's culturally oriented which therefore renders this debate fruitless and
b) even if you could compare, no way in hell Calgary would rank last in the world (save Antarctica, apparently) in terms of service.
Maybe the spoiled ones are you, expecting people to serve your ass at your beck and call. Take a trip to Africa or something. Thailand- they don't bring you the bill, you have to go ask to pay. So please, give me a break.
