"I've worked with the public in retail and the food service industry, and I've represented criminals in court. All told, I prefer the criminals. "The public" sucks."

From a Thread on Food Service
Defendants are usually on their best behavior in court, as they're trying to make a good impression on the judge/jury. No-one worries about making a good impression on the waitress or the fitting room attendant (unless they're cute). Re: Dude!
Yes, but I'm much more concerned with getting the jury to like me so that they don't put me away for 7-10 years than I am with making sure that the waiter doesn't spit in my eggs. The latter is a good reason not to be a jerk. The former is cause to dust off the company manners that my mother beat into me as a child. If you've ever been convicted of a crime, you're a criminal. (Technically, it's a valid label if you've ever committed a crime, but at that point it includes so much of the population as to lose any power of distinction.) |
