  7. I heard about this story too, and it's really hard to tell and judge from the outside what happened or should have happened since we really only have superficial facts. It's easy to have emotional reactions to situations like this which involve animals or children. However, there is definitely professional, diplomatic ways to handle interactions with customers, and then less professional ways. Both could have the same outcome, but could be handled completely differently. Managers and business owners are only human too, and often have to make judgement calls that subordinates or other people on the outside just don't understand. I have a background working in many areas of the hospitality industry, and this is a field where customer service is literally more important than anything else you have to offer, so I have learned a few things over the years. And no, the customer is not always right. They are not more important than other's or their own safety. And sometimes what is good for one customer, may be to the discontent or detriment of several other customers. Also, it often happens that in the end, sometimes customers are just more effort than they are worth to the business, so you have to cut your losses. If you have to spend xxx amount of time pleasing one customer that it affects your ability to please other customers, it's not worth it. Some people think that being a paying customer gives them all the rights in the world, but it doesn't. You simply cannot please everyone all the time, and it's a constant balancing act between keeping a good customer base happy and knowing which customers are just not worth the trouble.
  8. [B][U]Residents target sex trade in Winnipeg neighbourhood[/U][/B] [URL="http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/story/2013/07/09/mb-sex-trade-targeted-by-north-end-residents-winnipeg.html"]http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/story/2013/07/09/mb-sex-trade-targeted-by-north-end-residents-winnipeg.html[/URL] [QUOTE] Some people on Winnipeg's Charles Street are having success with a public campaign aimed at sex trade workers and their customers. They've posted signs letting johns know their licence plates could be recorded and posted online. "I catch you propositioning a hooker, I'm gonna put you on Facebook or YouTube," said Russell Jackson, who put up the signs about a month ago. The signs were ripped down a couple of times but he keeps putting them up and making them larger. And it has had an impact. The nighttime noise from scantily clad sex trade workers and their trolling customers used to be a constant. Now, many of the sex trade workers have moved along, Jackson said. However, many of the johns haven't got the message yet and are still trolling, approaching people not involved in the trade. "Especially to question little kids, what's with that man? Sick and dirty minds," Jackson said. "We are tired of putting up with this; we're tired of our kids being harassed and we are tired of our wives being harassed. "It's not wanted in this community no more and it's not going to be put up with. The signs are up for a reason." [B]Residents urged to call police instead[/B] Winnipeg police say they understand people want to make their neighbourhoods safer, but they warn people should not take matters into their own hands. "I'm heartened by the fact that the residents are becoming involved. I encourage them to become involved within the system," said Sgt. Bonnie Emerson. Emerson said residents can phone the Winnipeg Police Service's non-emergency number or Crime Stoppers to report concerns about the sex trade operating in their neighbourhoods. Police can track where the calls are coming from and dedicate officers for neighbourhood sweeps, Emerson added. "I'm going to target when those calls are coming in. If they're coming in at 6 a.m., then we know we're going to do a sweep at around 6 a.m.," she said. "So making those phone calls and letting us know when they're happening at the time makes a huge difference." [B]Serious consequences[/B] Christine Bruckert, a criminologist at the University of Ottawa, said the Charles Street residents could face legal action for what they're doing. Bruckert said publicly shaming drivers who stop to talk to women on the street â?? before they are even charged with an offence â?? has been tried in Vancouver, Edmonton, Toronto and Ottawa. But she warned that the tactic, which she describes as a form of vigilante justice, could violate the rights of innocent drivers and severely affect their lives. "Actually talking to someone about anything is not against the law," Bruckert said. "Being a client of a sex worker is second only to being a sex worker in terms of stigma, so I think there can be humungous consequences in terms of people's reputation, their livelihood if their employer finds out." Bruckert added that threatening to post drivers' licence plate numbers does not address the issue. "It really speaks to a kind of a status offence that somehow anyone who's a sex worker is sort of an untouchable," she said. Bruckert said sex workers are part of the community, too, and frustrated residents should start a dialogue with them through social service agencies if they want solutions.[/QUOTE]
  9. 1)Many women just are not as horny as men. 2)Most of those who are, are not comfortable with their sexuality and don't express it freely for fear of being attacked and ostracized for being a "slut" and being undisciplined. And I do believe that #1 is an indirect psychological result of #2. Society is a judgemental c---. The brave few don't give a crap about them, and live their lives on their own terms. And BTW, as long as your not a douchebag, it's fairly easy to get laid on CERB. ;)
