Places with overly friendly customer service

Anyone else get blown up every time you go to a Home Depot? On top of vendors who bother you there's just too many greeters and whatnot. I swear they have a position for strictly finding customers with babies and doing the "cute" baby talk thing.

Smashburger does that.  They stop by your table 15 times to ask if everything is ok and if you like your burger.  Their customer survey asks questions about if anyone went out of their way to make your visit exceptional, so you know they are coached to try too hard.  It's too far the other way, to the point of being transparent and annoying.  It's a damn burger for fugs sake.  It's a good burger, but still just a burger.

Exactly. Some places try too damn hard to the point of being super irritating.

Asian massage parlors do it right though.

I work for Home Depot and I can tell you that it is a damned if we do- damned if we don't type of relationship. Either folks are complaining that we are not helping them or complaining that we are bugging them too much.

So which one is it?

    • It goes deeper than that for me. When I started watching the Panthers as a kid I fell in love with Mark Fields’ story during that SB run. He wore #58. Then TD wore it and kept the tradition of the being the soul of the Panthers. The next time someone wears #58 I hope brings that same spirit 
    • T-Mac is a nickname, Tet is a shortening of Tetairoa. Like you said below... your name is Jonathan, I could see "Jonny" being considered a nickname, but Jon isn't a nickname, it's a shortening of Johnathan, see the difference? And if your mom named you Jonathan for it's biblical significance/meaning, because she was very religious, I think it would be different. T-Mac is Polynesian, so much in their culture has deeper meaning for them, particularly names.  So for his mom to feel this way, I highly doubt it's just because she likes the name Tetairoa and not Tet, it's much more likely than not to be because the name itself has a deeper meaning in their culture.   Particularly as T-Mac himself has often talked about how much his Polynesian heritage means to himself and his family. And no, I'm not saying all this because of how much he's my guy, if he was just "normal american" and his name was Jonathan and he didn't like fans calling him Jon, I'd probably just say tough poo.  It's that he's Polynesian and I know things like names have a much deeper meaning in their culture than they do in ours for the most part. For whatever it's worth, a quick google search.......
