I've noticed this too, but for what it's worth, the Levi's I've had for the past six years show no sign of age at all. The newer ones I just wear less to increase their longevity and I wear jeans probably every day during the winter.

Those were probably the last of the US-made ones, which were of somewhat better quality than the ones made in Central America (and correspondingly higher priced.) Then again, Levi's are still of better quality than most competitors.

I'm *king tired. I guess that's what commuting to the east coast and sleeping on the crewroom couch will do to you.
 
Re: TRP: Insert Tasteless Title Here

This is random, and I'm probably going to sound like a racist a**hole for asking this, but I got to know...

I think I might be violating some kind of cultural norm or misreading the non-verbal cues of people of Indian (Asian, not Native American) decent... In dealing with them while working at Dick's Sporting Goods, I have noticed that they seem to get easily irritated when I don't have exactly the answer they want to hear... Most commonly, we don't have a particular item in stock... After I mention that we're out of stock, the next words out of their mouth seems to always be a very aggitated "Why Not?"... This is a common complaint among all customers in a retail enviornment, I know, but from them, it seems more personal... Like, somehow in their eyes, I'm not doing enough to satisfy them...

I've also noticed that if you don't have an answer to their question because you truly don't know the answer, they expect the answer very quickly... If you don't have the answer within a short time, again, they seem to take it personal... This becomes a point especially when asking questions over our radio... They don't seem to be tolerant of problems like the person you need to talk to being busy, or having radio trouble like someone cutting in and talking over you...

Not trying to be a ***** or anything, but I would like to know if I'm missing something here... I like to think that I'm good at customer service... For some reason, it just seems that alot of my "Upset Customers" as of late seem to be of Indian heritage... I really do wonder if I am just misreading their non-verbal cues or something as this aggression/aggitation... I understand retail has it's downfalls in dealing with people, but these incedents seem to be at a higher rate than normal...

Raceboader... yeah, I'm probably the last person who should be making commentary on ethnic groups but....

I think in your case it isn't just you... it is a cultural aspect. I don't know enough about the culture... but there's sort of an undercurrent to some who feel that they're being snubbed by others. Some aspects of the culture appears rather, catty, really.

I know not everybody is like this, its just been my observation. There's sort of a passive aggressive heat of the moment thing... let them get through that moment and you're fine.

Because of USCHO, I am now spelling poll, P-O-L-E. :eek:
 
Re: TRP: Insert Tasteless Title Here

Drank with Joe Nathan tonight. Also got my nipple pinched by Snooki. And a girl grabbed my butt, and asked me to do the same to her. I obliged.

Interesting night.
 
Re: TRP: Insert Tasteless Title Here

Oh, almost forgot:
(bbdl talking to girl as we are walking to our car)

Girl: We need to find (bbdl) a girlfriend...he's following me.
Girl's Husband: Honey, that's called STALKING.
 
Re: TRP: Insert Tasteless Title Here

I drank a lot last night. Didn't get out to meet my friends until about 11 but made up for lost time between then and 2:30 or so. But hey, I'm finally awake, so that's good at least.
 
Re: TRP: Insert Tasteless Title Here

So I was over at a buddy's for his birthday. I show up, say hi to everyone, and when I said hi to his 4 year old son, his son replied, "Hi, Rube!" :D

Totally made my day.
