Found a new favorite blog for my RSS feed today – consumerist.com.  It’s a blog for and by consumers of retail products and other goods and services with rants, raves, and helpful tips for getting your way.  As a retail employee, I’ve learned lots of tricks for getting exactly what you want from a company (mostly from dealing with asshole customers on my end and having to give them exactly what they want).  But this site is good for everyone, as there’s info about credit cards, coustomer service reviews, and the government organizations that regulate consumerism. 

Posted on Consumerist today was a big, f-you goodbye letter from a former employee of Circuit City.  In this blog, he lists 27 “confessions” of ethically-debatable business practices forced upon unwitting consumers.  I found this funny, informative, and am now inspired to do something like this the next time I quit a job.

Thank goodness for disgruntled retail workers.  You (and me) make the world go ’round…
