but I find the knee-jerk "blame the customer" approach around here somewhat appalling at times.

i can't believe you think there's a knee jerk 'blame the customer' vibe on ST. - Andie Jul 16, 07:09 13
- not on the whole, but it seems to crop up from time to time - znufrii Jul 16, 07:11 10
  - airlines have about a billion things to worry about. could they be more helpful, probably. - Andie Jul 16, 07:16
  - Because contrary to cliches, the custome CAN be wrong. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jul 16, 07:16 2
    - in fact, once you meet some customers, you realize that saying is kind of BS. - TFox Jul 16, 07:16 1
      - Definitely. Years of retail clearly demonstrated that to me. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jul 16, 07:21
  - you mean like this time, when you are wrong, and then that other time, when you were kind of wrong too? - TFox Jul 16, 07:15 1

  - maybe it reflect that airline situations dicussed here. I don't think ST has a soft spot for airlines that lets them skate by. -- nm - ty97 Jul 16, 07:14 3

      - yeah, i remember that too. because that was just beyond horrible treatment. -- nm - Andie Jul 16, 07:17
      - I think it's more "You know there's a good chance of something bad happening, so if you don't protect yourself it's your fault" -- nm - Roger More Jul 16, 07:17

- be careful, Andie... you are unravelling a core tenet of the Parallel in that IM. -- nm - TFox Jul 16, 07:10
people need to be responsible for handling their own business. sometimes unfortunate shit just happens. -- nm - TFox Jul 16, 07:09

I don't think there is a knee-jerk 'blame the customer' here. I think there IS an anti-knee-jerk to blaming the company mentality. -- nm - ty97 Jul 16, 07:08
