I have never seen anybody on here claim that ALL government workers are lazy and worthless. What gets repeated is that we ll agree there is a greater percentage of lazy, worthless employees in government over private sector. You tend to get defensive every time it comes up. Many of us have also conceded that DoD probably has a higher caliber of folks than most agencies. We are all intelligent enough and aware enough to realize that the bad ones are the ones we hear about.

I am very quick to complain about poor service anywhere I encounter it. I will call a customer service line or use  websites to lodge complaints. I take surveys also. I have eaten many free sandwiches from the local McDonald's from trashing them on their surveys. On the other hand I am also inclined to call, go online,  or even seek out supervisory personel to compliment exemplary service when I encounter it. I feel that is more important than the complaints. Many more folks will complain than will take time to praise.

Last week I got trapped in the drive through line at the pharmacy again because they allow people to sit at the window while they wait for theirs to be filled. I just needed to drop off and had an appointment to get  to. By the time I realized what was happening I was boxed in and ended up late for my appointment. I complained about this once before so I was pissed when I finally got to the window. I told them if they did not change the policy to using the window for pick up and drop off only I would be changing pharmacy. I sometimes wait also, but I park and go in to do it. I am too considerate to block the drive through. When I go back if there is not signage saying drop off/pick up only I will transfer all my business. Will it break them? Absolutely not, but I am very punctual and hate being late.  I also consider it poor service and want tolerate it. One thing for certain, I would t get stuck in the drive through again. .
