In certain cultures, every year is celebrated as if it were represented by a certain animal. 2020 is the year of the mouse, 2019 was the year of the pig, etc. They dedicate and theme celebrations around the certain animal when ringing in the new year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Certain cultures celebrate every year as if it represented a certain animal. However, in other cultures, there\u2019s a certain animal that\u2019s been overlooked for quite some time: the customer. The customer leaves the burrows of their home to go out into the world and verbally abuse minimum wage workers. However, not every customer is the screeching short-haired middle-aged woman yelling at a cashier over expired coupons. Some customers are respectful and these ones who don\u2019t cause issues should be celebrated with their own year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Customers Provide Entertainment<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Television is\nexpensive, the millions of different streaming services are getting expensive.\nIt\u2019s hard to find affordable entertainment anymore. Fortunately, customers\nprovide entertainment for free. Those who have thicker skins can have riveting\ninternal dialogues as they\u2019re facing down pure evil from someone who is bully\ntheir way into twenty cents off a can of beans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Customers Give Us Purpose<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes all\nwe want is a purpose. Even if it\u2019s just taking an hour to fold clothes on a\ndisplay, then watching customers rummage through it minutes later. However,\nthat gives us a sense of purpose. It also gives us an ulcer, but at least we\nknow we wake up every day ready to do something meaningful with our lives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Customers = Income<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s be\nhonest, people don\u2019t get jobs because they actually want to wake up early every\nmorning just to help people. However, we put on a fake smile every day because\nwe know, without them, we would be living in cardboard boxes on the side of the\nroad. Customers are the reason we make bad financial decisions and waste an\nentire paycheck on fast food instead of learning how to cook and saving money. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2020 is the\nyear of the customer. They can continue to do what they do because we enable\nthem. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
