As customers? Definitely.

Its much more common for them to be unreasonable and expect people to bend over backwards to accommodate them.
yeah i kinda see that too. Yeah as customers esp. you may be right. You did customer service in u.s.? wonder why it would be so much worse in customer service area in u.s. , worse than when they are not in customer service.

Yes, Vietnamese people on average are nicer than people in the UK.

Ive been to the U.S. a few times, and work with some Americans now. Obviously, you cant generalise about the people of an entire nation, but I have found many of the negative stereotypes around Americans are pretty readily apparent in many people.
oh really? so just like on avg americans like ruder than uk, on avg?

I had one manager when I worked at a local restaurant who probably believed that. There was a customer who was being a rude asshole and my manager was just bending over backwards for him. That dick said "Eh, I like one apology from dat guy", and my manager tried to get me to do that, but I refused. So my hours got cut and I was written up, but it was perfect since just a few days later I got a call from my current job saying they saw my resume on Indeed and asked if I wanted an interview.
yeah if you were totally right, and then she wants you to apologize to that guy? Like he would ever apologize to you in a hundred yrs if he was wrong. What reasonable person would want to apologize in that situation?

At my last retail job we had a corporate shakeup which left us with a new manager who was in his forties and only worked at the company, since he was a teenager. He was a fanboy for the company almost on the level as a gaming or wrestling fanboy and gloated about the fact that he commuted 2+ hours to and from the store each day.

We had instances where customers would be screaming at cashiers and sometimes insulting them, only for the customers to be rewarded with coupons. One time I got berated on the phone and when transferring it to the manager I said weve got a charmer on line four. I was taken into the office and reprimanded for saying that.
holy shit. so this guy always sided with the customer? you ever heard the famous saying "the customer is always right?" maybe this guy believes that.

Buffalo didnt have the lead against Washington, but they were back for a consecutive Super Bowl. After losing so close to the Giants, they had to have that one.

Buffalo led at halftime against Dallas after being dominated by them in the previous Super Bowl. Should have had that one, too.
Not remembering that well, thought like the only one they had a chance against was g men. Like had any chance. Pathetic, they should have won giants game. 4 straight. Might not be done again in any sport

No offense, but Taylor is way bigger than Brittney ever was (who was huge, don't get me wrong).

Edit: No other celebrity would be having this much of an impact on the NFL like Taylor. The NFL is already considered the big one in America, and somehow Taylor made it even bigger beyond what it's ever been.
How many more yrs do you think swift will be huge? Spears was like a few yrs or so?

I went to a state school for the first two years of high school and yeah fights were fairly common. I even got into a couple and I'm not violent at all, but sometimes you need to stand up for yourself.

Then I got a scholarship to go to a private school and they basically never happened.
Yeah I guess private high schools are usually much better. Esp. in like a bad area, public school for that area...etc .. maybe like a wealthier city or area the public school would be very good

No, every multiblade razor shaves too clean, where the hair follicle ends up below the surface of my skin. Im Black and have curly hair, so it ends up growing back into my skin. The last foil shaver I had was an Andis that also cut too close. And single blade razors require a lot of trial and error to find how many passes are good enough.

As far as work, the only time its a concern is on my reserve weekend. But even the military doesnt require baby bottom smooth unless youre in basic training, a school, or an inspection. No one is going to come rub their hands across your face unless they want to be put on the ground forcefully lol.

At my civilian job, well I just wouldnt work for an employer that regulated my facial hair. I retire from the military in 3 years and plan to grow my beard and have a medium fade tapered into locs.
have you tried the norelco , 3 circles? same problem? That's what i use. The brauns can't cut hairs longer than like a week. Interesting , had never heard that if you are black that you would have that problem with shavers, though
