"Have a super sparkly day!'

That's from some credit card commercial, where a woman is shopping in a toy store. I haven't been in a toy store in years--do they really make their employees say such inane things?

I love that commercial-- I like the cashier and love the mom who isn't hiding that she hates the crap that she's buying.

Just the cashier part:

Suitable for the ambiance of the wrong-side-of-the-tracks, blue-collar, biker, serious
pool hustler bar where I was night manager, bartender AND bouncer (along with two
waitresses).
.
The customers would have taken my "super sparkly day" and shoved it up my ass,
not because it would have angered them... but because they were often just bored.
.
Also, they didn't suffer fools gladly.

That job made me perpetually nervous. Though it was often a blast.

I worked for some call-center clients with closing statements so inane that sometimes
the customers would actually burst out laughing -- at which point I'd say, "You can
probably tell that they make us say that."

If so, they need to take their own advice.

Not all of our "brothers and sisters" on this site should be here.

And to paraphrase the much-missed Molly Ivins, " If he/she gets any more NEGATIVELY enlightened,
we are going to have to water him/her twice a day."

It would be hidden. The jury system comment section is a loophole for assholes.
