I remember getting hoarse when I worked in retail too.
I've been reading a lot of
Customers Suck lately because this time of year always has the "best" stories...
Anyways, it ticks me off when someone tells me I will change my mind about something after I've stated my opinion (accompanied by a reason why I feel that way). It undermines my intelligence, seriously. Yeah, it IS possible I will change my mind someday, something COULD happen to change it. But you just TELLING me I will change it...isn't the reason why it might.
Don't act so frikkin' smug. -_- I am capable of having an opinion different than yours. It's also like when I tell someone I watched say, a TV show they like and didn't like it for this reason and that reason (note that I HAVE my reasons, I'm not just being single-minded), and they tell me to "give it another look" and that I'll "love it" if I do. Guess what, we're not the same person, and I *told* you I watched it and didn't like it. OMG, the hell? (Maybe I'm alone here but I appreciate when people, I dunno, allow me to form my OWN opinion even if it's different from theirs.)
