What is with people Today?

Last summer I wanted my driveway re-done. Called four different businesses and left messages with the person who answered the phone. Each of them said someone would call me back. Never heard a word from any of 'em. Two weeks later I called four others. Of those, two called me back and scheduled estimates. One showed up. Guess who got the work. And this is supposed to be a time when people can't find work....?

A few days ago I called a business and told them I wanted to purchase about $240.00 worth of their product. The girl on the phone said one of their representatives would call me back when they got the job worked up. Two days later, no call. So, I called them. The girl apologized and said they were just too busy to get to it and woul definitely call me the next day. Two days later I was driving by the store so I thought I'd just stop in to see what they had figured out. When I went in there were four girls in the office who noticed I was there but never acknowledged that I was present. Each worked there way out of the area. I stood there for a few minutes and got tired of waiting so I looked around the other door into the work area. There were all four girls examining the new tattoo on one of the girls legs and then spending several minutes joking about Jamie's party. Too busy to work up the final product for me. Tomorrow I'll try another shop and see if I have any better results!
