We’ve turned into a Nation of Instant Gratification Junkies. Everything has to be had NOW, service has to be given right away. Who cares if you’re inconvenienced, as long as I’m not inconvenienced…REALLY? We’re a bunch of inconsiderate, self-absorbed assholes!!!
I remember being raised on the phrase “Good things come to those who wait”. And although I freely admit to being impatient as a kid, and wanting it NOW, I had to wait. Growing up poor, you basically know…you can wait till hell freezes over…you’re not getting that cool pair of shoes, or that Stretch Armstrong toy that you really wanted (I told you I was part Guy). Go ahead…hold your breath…I dare ya!!! All the crying and pouting in the world isn’t going to change things Ladies and Gentlemen….or is it?
Now, grown assed adults are kicking and screaming, wanting their way, and they’re getting it!!! They are pushing their way to the front of the line…grocery line, amusement park line, any line where they perceive that they have the right to be in front and shouldn’t be inconvenienced with waiting like the rest of us ignorant peasants! They’re demanding things they don’t have a right to demand, but because they scream loud enough, people are afraid of the commotion being caused and give in.
More and more Americans, who have the ability to work, don’t and want to be taken care of by our Government. Worse, not only do they not work, they don’t cook, they don’t take care of their children, they don’t take care of their environment and are some of the worst offenders of the “Me’ism” culture.
Why do you think we have so many fast food options? People don’t have the patience to shop, prepare and cook a meal. Oh they’ll tell you they just don’t have the time, but the majority do…they just don’t want to make it a priority. Don’t get me wrong….I don’t mind stopping at Wonderful Chinese for my favorite Won Ton Soup when I don’t want to cook or need a break, or I don’t have the time…but I don’t do it every night! I don’t do it every week! I don’t mind KFC once in a blue moon…I mean, we’re talking the Colonel here, with those top secret herbs and spices!
We, as a Nation, are suffering the consequences of our actions. Our children are fat, lazy, mouthy, petulant versions of our adult selves, and we can’t be bothered to discipline them or teach them some kind of moral code. The rate of autistic children has skyrocketed, and I can’t help but wonder if the food that we’re consuming has something to do with it. All the preservatives, additives and genetic tampering of our produce and livestock…. I am aware that there are some adults that work at eating healthy and carefully choose the food they consume, but because of our Government regulations, have no idea what they may be consuming and despite their best efforts, contaminating their children through no fault of their own. All because it has to be done easier, better, bigger and corporations have to make money and deprive the average farmer of a living.
Since when did minimum wage jobs like McDonald’s become a career? It’s a brainless job that helps you make some money and learn responsibility…not a means of raising a family, buying a home and preparing for retirement!! But hey, some people think that flipping burgers is worth $15+ dollars an hour and are willing to protest for it. They’re not willing to expend brain power or muscle to earn their living. Let me clue you in to something Mr. I want more money for working at McDonald’s…Supply and demand will dictate the market, and if your higher wage means higher prices for a crappy burger…I pass. I can make my own crappy burger and it’ll taste a hell of a lot better than yours!!! Let me be clear.. I am not bagging on anyone in desperate need of a job and is working at McDonald’s to make ends meet…Just understand that McDonalds is temporary…not permanent!!
And when someone stands up against all of this instant gratification crap, they get persecuted for it. “Oh, you’re not being politically correct and you don’t care. Your opinion ‘offends’ me”. Boo Fucking Hoo!!! Your laziness and attitude offend me, and I’m sick to death with having to put up with your baby tantrums and foot stomping.
What got me started on this particular rant??? See Below.....
_________________________________________________When a Customer Left a Nasty Note on a Business Owner's Page, He Probably Wasn't Expecting a Viral Response
We all know Christmas shoppers can be a little crazy, so when a customer of Liberty Bottleworks started harassing employees of the company in phone calls and online, co-founder Ryan Clark responded in a big way.
Liberty is a small business that supports American manufacturing, eco-friendly practices, and the hiring of veterans, so it’s no surprise that management takes the well-being of their employees very seriously.
After the customer attacked the company online, Clark responded with a polite, carefully crafted response that has since gone viral. Especially during the holiday season, he says, his employees have a right to enjoy the Christmas spirit. At his company? “Family First, Product Second.”
