Surveys R US

The other day I received a survey in the mail from a hospital that treated me for a mild eye condition. I think I was having a problem seeing way too much. Anyhow, they couldn't correct THAT problem but did give me the usual prescriptions for dry eye and irritation. The dry eye stuff worked but I still get irritated quite a bit.

The survey asked me to rate the quality of service I received at the hospital. I filled it out and mailed it back without any irritation. Then I had thought. Wouldn't it be a great idea if every place you patronized sent you a survey based on your visit there. Think of the concept. You'd be able to check off exactly how you felt each time you walked into your convenience store and the twit behind the cash register is on the phone talking while they wait on you. Check off the box that asks how your service was. A. Great.
B. Fair C. So so. D. It really sucked.

They should have a survey for supermarkets and discount department stores that have a gazillion cash registers but only four are open when it's busy. A. Did you get through the line easy enough. B. Did you get through the line less than easy enough.
C. Did you get through the line during this decade.

Then there's the survey that should be sent out from service stations. A. Was the price you paid for gasoline reasonable. B. Was the price of gas you paid somewhat reasonable. C. Was the price of gas paid for by taking out a bank loan.

Then finally, one of my favorite places, the casino, has installed new ATM machines which charge you more than the old ATM machines used too. Get this, if you take out $100 it now costs you $4.00. If you withdraw higher amounts, the fees increase drastically. I believe $500 will cost you $29.00 to use the ATM. What's wrong with this picture? So, my final request would be that the casino's send out a survey on their new ATM machines. Something like. A. Do you think you will be using our new ATM machines again: 1. Yes. 2. No 3. Are you F*****g crazy!

NOW I think I really am irritated. (reaching for my prescription)
