Microsoft Store Employees Cruelly Forced To Dance For The Internet
@Zanorfes: I don't understand why stores think this kind of "zany and wacky and 'fun'" bullshit makes us want to shop there. If anything, it makes it awkward because I'd feel rather embarrassed for the employees who probably REALLY don't want to be making asses of themselves in front of strangers, and are probably embarrassed themselves. I highly doubt Microsoft pays these people enough to look like total tools.
And, yeah, that kind of does look like a wannabe Apple Store. They've just replaced all the white surfaces with oak. Pretty lame overall.
Are You Ready To Go Shopping On Your Next Flight?
@floraposte: It's great that we can all sit here and complain about it, but the fact of the matter is that we can also "just say no." We can avoid flying AA, and if we have to fly AA for whatever reason, just ignore the FAs when they're selling the items, or just don't buy. Eventually AA will realize the error of their ways and stop. But, probably not until their bottom line plummets.

@bohemian: Next they'll be sure to include at least one baby on board with an ear infection who cries non-stop. And you can pay to get noice-cancelling headphones. What a deal!
Dear God: Comcast To Consider Partnering With Ticketmaster
@Bluth_Cornballer: American Airlines can include concert tickets in their new plan for selling shit people don't need/want while flying. This would be like the Trifecta of Fucked. Yes...that is what it would be.
15 Years In Prison After Cutting The Line At Walmart?
@NancyNally: Agreed. That was my first thought. Additionally, it's almost impossible to discuss this case on Consumerist without brining the racial issue into play. The outocme of this trial is based solely upon the woman's actions with the police and her actions in the store. Normal line-jumping would not incur such purported wrath.

@steveliv: The onus falls on a well-trained clerk at a well-operated store to ensure that the checker opening the new line tells the person next in line at an already-full checkout line to come to the newly opened one. Stores that don't train to this standard are not worthy of my patronage. And, I've made a point to tell customer service that they need to retrain their clerks. If I come back the next time, and the same thing happens, I talk to the manager, make a comment as to my displeasure, and tell them I'm shopping at such-and-such down the street from now on.

@sonneillon: First off, probably shouldn't use Wikipedia as a "legit" source. Ever.
But I digress; just because a store/restaurant/customer-service-based business has a sign saying they have the right to refuse service to anyone, doesn't necessarily mean they do. A lot of restaurants have these signs because it allows them to kick-out patrons that are recognized as past dine-and-dashers. However, a lot of things can move from legal realms to civil realms. So, if a store DOES refuse service, they'd better have a pretty cut-and-dried case as to why they did so. And even if they avoid legal proceedings, they'll still have a potential lawsuit brewing for any number of reasons thought up by the refusee. So, it would behoove all customer-service businesses to be sure they're making the right call on refusing service.
When Traveling, Beware The Snow Globe Terrorist Menace
@roshambo: What about mustard? That's a liquid, right? But it's kind of a solid, too. And what about mayonnaise? Same thing, yes?
If Yours Isn't Good Enough, He'll Get Some At The Office
@morlo: Yeah...those housewives: lazy, complacent sluts.

@kathyl: Or, how about the fact that they DO have that attitude, and turn it off (or turn the fakery ON) when they have to perform? Which is worse to you?
