The Disclaimer

Alright everyone, here goes.

I built this blog some time ago, and since have found very little time to update it.
This has been either from a lack of minutes in the day, or more likely because of a legal trepidation that I have developed during my study of the law and politics.
You see when you are writing on an issue that involves the bread and butter of a major corporation you have to be careful what you say. You need to ensure that the material you are presenting is presented in a way that will afford you no affiliation with the guidelines and policies of said company. Otherwise you will face a s@#$ storm of legal trouble; and let's be honest, I am nowhere near far enough along in my career to stand up to the likes of Starbucks.

And I do not wish to.
That is not what this site is about. I love the company, love working for the company, and have nothing but reverence and awe for the performance of the people who run it.

That being said, it is my opinion that there are instances in which the customer/employee interaction becomes laughable. Instances in which one can imagine themselves on a movie set or in some other role playing situation where one person is supposed to act out of control ridiculous and the other is supposed to attempt to gently extinguish the situation. But as most acting goes, the ridiculous person is so comedically over the top that both actors lose themselves and it turns into a laughing contest. This is how these customer/employee interactions go, yet there is only one side laughing, our side.

And so it is here my intention to let you in on some of the laughs. To see the comedic side of the consumer world.

I hope you enjoy my Daily Crazy.
