harry fucking gordon selfridge

Harry Gordon Selfridge.. 1858-1947.. Thank god that guy is gone.. You know the expression "the customer is always right"? Yeah, we have that douche bag to thank for that.. This all goes back to that sense of entitlement thing I talked about WAY back when I first started this blog (yeah like a whole two months ago... LONG long time ago).. You know what, the customer is NOT always right, but since we've ingrained this (I can't believe I'm about to use this word) paradigm so deeply in modern business relationships, customers parade around like fucking peacocks spreading their feathers and think that whatever they want goes and fuck all else.

Now, understand something very important.. I'm not at all suggesting that businesses treat customers like shit. Far from it, that would be counterproductive for everyone because everyone would be getting fucked over. I'm simply suggesting that as customers, we not act like the world owes us something. It doesn't. Feel free to ask, it's your right as an American (America, FUCK YEAH!), just don't bitch and moan like a mom on Christmas Eve looking for the newest Tickle-Me-Elmo doll for her shitty brat child at home..

Besides, what kind of name is Harry Gordon Selfridge? Is he a serial killer? Maybe an assassin? Seriously, who goes by all three names unless you are one of those two, or just some self-righteous fuck that started a couple department stores in England. Kudos, Mr. Selfridge, I hope you are burning in hell.

And speaking of Christmas shopping, anyone that goes out on Black Friday needs to be dragged out to the street and shot repeatedly. Stop this fucking madness already! People are getting trampled, shot, stabbed and beaten just so they can get their hands on some stupid toy.. Notice it's never someone getting stabbed over something vital or useful, like a blender or a vacuum, but it's for a PS3 or a Tickle-Me-Elmo or a Cabbage Patch Kid (wow, I'm old...).. This shit has got to stop.. Some parting words of advice: shop online, save yourself the headache, and fuck those crowds... Seriously, the madness we witness every year after Thanksgiving reminds me of that commercial on Family Guy for the Best Thing Ever (http://www.ebaumsworld.com/video/watch/1030608/).. Thank god for Family Guy.
