There’s a leek of passive aggressiveness in customer service that goes deeper even than this, as clever as it is. So, when you used to go to 6 flags, anytime you asked an employee or question or bought something, they’d (by the rules) have to smile full cheese, and say in an oh so happy tone: “Have a Six Flags day!” And it wasn’t after but the first time this happened- I realized, I saw in their eyes- every tine they did this- they were saying “F&ck you” internally.

I took this with me and made it a point, anytime I was in a service role or dealing with a client- instead of being mad or disgruntled, I’d get ULTRA, almost satirically pleasant, and in the most saccharine of tones- say something like this, or quote the companies values or mission statement of slogan- and that meant: “f$ck you.” You could say it to your boss or customer or clients face and they’d generally take it as positivity- but every single time, even if they didn’t know, you were telling them to “have a Six Flags day.”

So- to the present. I go to Target for the first time after pandemic to get necessities. Over the PA, the cheeriest voice comes on- a recording- talking about how masks are required, and how “if you prefer not to wear a mask, we respect that and offer you the option of our out of store shopping such as online delivery or touch less curbside pickup” <paraphrased>

And man. I laughed so hard. Because what a pleasant way to say: “wear a mask or get the f$co out. We still want your money, just not you. We can leave your sh$t on the side of the gutter and you can come get it yourself like the animal you are...”
