yet another miserable day in las vegas...
the more i stay in this city, the more frusterated i get with this city... no, i'm not talking about the 'sin city' that everybody knows... i'm talking about the city that begins just off of the strip...
my frusteration with is mostly with the service sector... having lived in las angeles for the last 6 years of my life, i've gotten used to an outstanding service, be that at the coffee shop at the corner, high-end restaurant, mcdanold's, 7-11, or the rep of my utility company at the other end of the phone line...
here, unless you are rich enough to get everything from the shops and resaurants on the las vegas blvd, don't expect to get even a fair service...
i'm sitting in cafe section of borders bookstore right now... there is an elderly man that is trying to buy coffee... first off, there was no person at the front to greet him... he was literally yealling 'anybody here' for at least 2 minutes before someone showed up from the back... no greeting, no appology for being late... and now he is trying to order a drink which he doesn't know the name of, and the attendant is not even trying to be a bit helpful... this is getting unbearable...
i was at a sandwitch shop a couple of days ago... the same frustrating situation... no manager on the floor, only two teenage girls running the place... the whole time i was ordering a sandwich they have been flirting with two teenage guys sitting at one of the tables... as you can imagine, at the end i didn't get what i was trying to order...
anyways... to save my nerves, i won't go on and on with the terrible service that i encounter everyday...
just keep this in mind if you ever decide to move here to live...
