A good test of patience is working retail during the pre-Christmas ridiculousness that is hard to tolerate even as a consumer.
If you come into any sort of shop this festive season, please hear my small voice of reason in the torrent of commercial horseshit and self-centred awfulness that pervades our modern way of life: remember that we are all people, all with something to offer this world. Remember that you get what you pay for in the economic and karmic sense of the phrase. And remember that most of us have more stuff than we need, and that perhaps instead of harassing a shopkeeper you may be better off spending your time with your family or friends or even your cat. And if you really do need that piece of kit and you really can't afford it, remember that one will always catch more flies with honey!
And that is my rant for the night.
