I appreciate yours & Cam's remarks. I can get on a real rant about these sort of things but try to keep it under control. Right now what I'm working at - gardening & its paraphenelia in a garden centre is work I enjoy. When customers come in asking for pesticides, I have to serve them but they get a small speech (if they're willing to hear it) on the dangers & safe alternatives available. Seeing the Canadian government is phasing out a lot of poisons in the next few years, the chain store I work for is now "talking" the safe alternatives. It's not because they carein the least, it's because the alternatives are where the money will be.
I will tell any customer that's ready to buy something 'cause it looks pretty or seems like a good idea if it's cheaply made or won't grow. One of these days, I'll get in trouble from superiors with my attitude but in the meantime the customers are grateful & I may be building up a loyal clientele of my own. I hate power/money driven greed that runs this world now & am not afraid to state it.
