Today, my inner Karen struck again!
I noticed that I’m having fun and being amused at having my inner Karen mess around with cashiers and member services.
But at the same time, I’m being educated by my younger “selves”, being once a poor customer service representive.
Anyways, my elderly father and I took a while to shop at our local Costco warehouse, which is located one minute away from our home/house.
We had to spend our Executive Membership Reward Gift Certificate (Redeemable Only at Costco).
So we lined-up at the “full-service” check-out stand and hoped everything would be smooth sailing.
Unfortunately, my iPhone activated the card reader.
I stood my ground and the cashier said twice that it was too late to “back-out” my UNINTENTIONAL selection.
So I ended up paying with my iPhone instead of the credit card on file via the Costco Wallet within the Costco Membership Card of the Costco app for iPhone.
Slowly, we made our way to Member Services up front and lined-up to the “left” of the counter.
(The “right” of the counter is meant primarly for “returning items”.)
Anyways, the Mexicano with nice metal frames was patient enough to “hear” me out.
The “red-haired” lady next to him mentioned that the cashiers are “forced” to speed-up the line.
I did NOT like that reality.
I requested how to escalate to team developers/engineers or at least provide feedback or survey of my experience.
He pointed out the QR-code on the wall near exit where two receipt checkers are stationed usually.
So I submitted my narrative and used up all 1000 characters for my “comments”.
Of course, I could have been mean and nasty.
But my normal approach is one of care and empathy, meaning I gotta protect the jobs of the remaining organic humans, who still messes up my experiences!
See? That’s why I try NOT to go outdoors or mingle with “outsiders”, err, people, or look actively for work, or work for that matter!
Because, I might be assigned spiritually to test the waters, if y’all will.
I mentioned to RJ that I would be his Quality Assurance Committee.
And sure enough I am probably fulfilling that end of the bargain, though, I get paid for nothing, as a volunteer in any matter, of all sorts.
“Well” is what I’ve been saying out loud recently for any and all inconveniences that may happen to cross my path.
For you “telepaths” or at least those with “telepathic connections” unto moi, my verbal outburst is meant to humor my spirit in spite of it all being, well, inconvenient!
I would recall the hilarious portrayal of Doreen Larkin, a character played by Mo Collins on MadTV, a televised show I used to enjoy watching.
So whenever I felt “inconvenienced”, I would exclaim “Well” and think of Stuart’s mom.
That’s all. End of transmission. 20260605-1829 PM PT. FLYNNIE.
