The Benefits of Overpopulation?
Are there any? As a matter of fact there are. One, you never have to call a company and listen to a god awful computer that is supposed to expedite your "customer service experience." They have plenty of people who need jobs so getting a computer to do it would not make much sense. Besides, people hate those things. So you get to talk to a human being every time. Two, if you are having Internet problems you don't have to worry about troubleshooting over the phone with a very polite but very thick accented Indian named Steve. You simply call the Internet company and a man comes over to sort it out. My record is his arrival 20 minutes after i had hung up the phone.
Now number three is my latest experience. My roommate had brought home some coupons for free milk. Pretty sweet considering i go through milk in, not cartons, but buckets a week... I make a lot of shakes... protein shakes... but that is another blog.
So i ask,
"Do i just present these coupons when I go to buy milk and they give me extra?"
No
"Do we we have to buy milk, cut out the proof of purchase, and after we have accumulated 67 mail off the coupons and wait 6 to 8 weeks for them to be mailed to us?
No
"Do we call and they are delivered?"
YES
This is my favorite method of service by the way. You don't get much more convenient than buying something or getting something serviced than answering the door in your PJ's and continuing to watch terrible television shows as they fix whatever they came to fix or deliver whatever you desire.
So the next day a woman knocks on the door holding a large bag of lunchbox sized milk cartons all for my drinking desire. Even better it was COD (as in Coupon on Delivery) .. no hassle at all.
How could you not love this country?
