Crazy Ideas That Would Make Our World Perfect
Retire phone extensions just like ballplayer numbers. They did it for Ruth, Mantle, Mays. Why not guys like us? Pete, ext. 236—we salute you!
That’s just one of the many ideas Mens Health has put together that they feel would make a perfect world.
• More rollover options. Cell phone minutes and vacation days are fine. But let us bank other important stuff. Politeness? “I let you cut in yesterday. Today you wait.” Crunches? “Did ‘em for a month. I’m taking the next 6 off.”
• A 10 percent discount when self-checking out at the grocery store. C’mon, throw us this bone if we’re making less work for the people who actually get paid to be there.
• Built-in bottle openers on cardboard six-pack containers. It works for crayon boxes with the sharpener. No more broken glass or broken teeth. No more searching for a fence.
• Tollbooths that double as can redemption centers. Empties are worth a nickel. Now, you can pay and recycle.
• A court mandate that all waitresses call you “honey.” The ultimate: “Here’s your hot towel, honey.”

By our I think you definitely mean men. I can tell that it came out of Mens Health given that they want all waitresses to call them honey. I think too many women who work with the public do that already. I’ve had to bite my tongue through too many “Well Hun’s” and “Okay Honey’s”. However, I will take the 10% off for using the self-checkout line.

These were cute. I do really agree with the taking 10% off at self checkout…there’s a good point there…were doing their job for god sakes! And the waitress thing…i really don’t see the harm in calling people hun or honey or maybe even dear…your being friendly and polite. I use to work in retail and i always called everyone hun and they always continued to come back and before not too long called me hun as well…it’s just being nice and a little extra personal…makes people feel appreciated in some small way.
