[SIZE=1]We're all so nice to each other in some horrendous enforced show of empathetic commonality Genuiness has gone, replaced by niceness, well, I have come to dislike niceness. I'm fighting back Supermarkets for instance seem to force all the checkout persons- What is a checkout person?- I'll tell you. A checkout person is someone that cannot be referred to by age, gender or anything else that shows them to be a real person. So in the checkout person aisle I meet the checkout person, whom, forced by training, asks " how are you to-day?" The question compels me to reply, ' actually my feet hurt, my back aches and I don't feel too well.' Result: absolute horror. I was asked how I felt, what was I supposed to say? But now, the checkout person, in the unknown area of having to care and confusion, I'm given the look of - this is not in the training manual or role play manual look. Only one course left: head down and scan in the items without another word. No -ohh that's not good or an offer of a chair, no, just the electronic beep, beep, beep as my items are scanned exceptionally speedily to remove me from the isle. The goal is now to move me along so's they can ask the next victim how they are. I know the reponse i should've given. I should have said 'just great, and what a lovely day' Well, I'm rebelling against feingned and enforced niceness. Next time I'm asked 'how are you to-day' I think I'l have sore elbows and ankles. Now where is that book medical symptoms[SIZE=1]
