MFK: Hans Gruber, Consumerism, Gender Neutral Santa

Am I a communist because I am just sick of kissing the asses of consumers?

I have been working a lot which financially is a nice change from the iHotel cutting everyone's hours because hotel vacancy in a college town during December is typically. The structure of that property required two guest service agents to be present at all times, so if you were not suffering paycheck wise, your sanity was taking a hit. This being my first Christmas in the 50-hour a week corporate world, my mind is getting to endure all facets of people using the holidays to create a pseudo caste system.

Suddenly everyone becomes illiterate:
  • I was not made aware of any renovations (despite the signs upon entering the establishment).
  • You should have let us know the TV channels were down when we made the reservation (seven days prior).
  • That is not the price the tag said (how were they suppose to know the tag said that was not the item).
  • So your price match guarantee is false (no, we prefer liquidate when we are in the red).
Fuck, Hans Gruber for saying, "It's Christmas, Theo. It's the time of miracles. So be of good cheer... and call me when you hit the last lock." Everybody thinks they can be the villain. Everybody thinks they should be on the beach earning 20%.

Best case scenario, they think because it is about the guy who turned water into wine, miracles are not much to ask for. Free stuff is even less trivial.
