I'm just wondering when it became acceptable for shopping customers to WHISTLE at employees to get their attention... Today I was at work and had just hung up the phone after speaking with a client and booking her an appointment. I was bent down writing in the appointment book when I heard a whistle and a literal "YOO HOO" from behind me. Certain that it couldn't be for me, I straightened up and turned around and from ACROSS THE WAY - at least 30 feet - a disgruntled woman was standing there tapping her foot. She said, "Can I get a little help?!" in the most aggravating tone and trying to charm her into a good attitude I obliged and walked over. Then began the slew of questions.

As long as people know they exist they will have customers who need their services.And by just existing they prove it is not all that rare.The page mention 3,800 fatal shooting accidents in a 6 year period. some 600 pr year or a bit more than 2 a day.Is that too many? less

I have no idea why that many folks think it's great but that is an abysmally bad approval rating. Yet the pols keep ignoring us completely. At town halls (for those brave enough to hold them) we the people are giving them he**. Still they are trying to shove this down our throats when they know it will choke us. They don't care. All they care about is pulling one off because when Paul Ryan was a college kid drinking a keg of beer he DREAMED about something like this. The pols say "we promised to repeal and replace. We are just keeping our promise.: At the expense of we the people you folks are screwing us and charging us for it and giving the ill-gotten gains to the richest among you. If you had a conscience you would be ashamed. less

I got it from an article in The Washington Post: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/the-shooting-at-a-gop-baseball-practice-was-an-assault-on-democracy/2017/06/14/06587d9a-5131-11e7-91eb-9611861a988f_story.html?tid=a_inl&utm_term=.4fb3d39542fb
