I kind of like how people are acting like this was some boardroom decision about an ad for a show. This was made by a creative, then approved by probably a mid-level executive, maybe as part of a committee, but probably not, depending on his/her title.

Few people actually understand how the world of business works lol.

When I was young and working in retail, I had a lady argue with me because she swore the CEO of the company is the one who manually approves/sets the individual prices on everything, and that I, as a minimum wage-working teenager, somehow had a direct line to call him so she could complain to him. I worked at Target. How some people get through life with rocks between their ears is beyond me.

Lmaooo I work in retail (wholesale building supplies, big box stores) and had a lady in receiving say she was going to personally call our CEO about late deliveries. Said go for it lol, don't think she was able to reach him.

People are literally so stupid it blows my mind. Like blows my mind everyday.

Yeah… unless you work for Costco. Literally not uncommon for an email to come strait from Craig (formally Jim) with:

>Blah blah blah … my Kirkland Blah blah doesn’t work anymore, and I’m your best customer…. I pay $60 for

…OR scenario 2: some kid in a cell phone kiosk to trick my 90 year old grandma into signing up for Verizon…

Scenario 3: Or My BBQ doesn’t work anymore and you said I could return it, but the manager won’t let me return my rusty-cube…

Or worse-

>Your cable guy fell through my attic/hit on my wife/scared my dog….

Jim’s reply, shortly:

(?!)

Or slightly less common:

“Fu*kin fix this!”

Proceeds to see email forward chain through VP of Merchandising, General Merchandise Manager, Assistant Merchandise Manager, Buyer, Assistant Buyer… down to me… inventory control guy.

Buyer: F*ck… fix this- I’ll help! I don’t want Jim coming down here and yelling at us… I can hear his footsteps already… drop everything!

Us: throws cash card at member, orders “White Glove Service” same-day to pick up their couch, patio gnome, whatever…

Been there. Done that.
