You know what grinds my gears? Wal-Mart's service.
I was in Wal-Mart the other day and asked when the next shipment of Nintendo Wii's would come out and the guy there said Wednesday morning at 8 am. So this morning, I got up and went to get one. There were three other people ahead of me, and one lady arrived after me.
When I arrived, there were also three employees looking at us, some of which I recognized as those who work the electronics department. They walk off. It wasn't 8 am yet so I'm not thinking much of it. I woke up at 7 am. I wasn't thinking much at all.
About 15 minutes after I arrive, two of the employees that I saw earlier arrived and asked, "Are you all here for the Wii?" We nod. "We're all out. There was a mixup and they arrived last night at midnight and not 8 am."
That part is frustrating, but understandable. What really grinds my gears is how THREE employees can look right at a group of people in my local Wal-Mart's tiny electronics department at 8 am and NOT tell them that they're wasting their time. They KNEW what we were doing there. There would NEVER be a crowd in that department that early in the morning if people were just browsing. The Wal-Mart employees were so inconsiderate to other human beings, and it really grinds my gears.

When I got my Wii at Wal-Mart on release night, the customers were treated as royalty. We were offered free coffee and donuts. Maybe that was just because the manager was personally overseeing the process that night.
Touché.
