R E S P E C T

Anyone who has ever been in the retail or otherwise sales business would know. There are two types of supervisors/managers/higher ups. One type while being still courteous to the customer, will not belittle the co-worker in front of him or her. The other type of manager etc, will ALWAYS take the customer's side, "always say yes" no matter what the cost to morale or otherwise. The former type of manager will have the respect of his/her co-workers because they know that they will resolve a matter that is conducive to both sides of the customer/salesmen equation. The latter type of manager will most likely get promoted at every tier because backstabbing is what comes with the territory in corporate America. And while he/she may not be liked altogether or at all, he/she will be will still be successful because he/she is a "company" person to the bitter end. This is why I was not made for the "customer is always right" business. Because NO ONE is always right. Thank you manager person for showing me that I mean nothing to you, and you will never have my back.
