Nice observations,very nicely said. My wife and I enjoy seeing our consultant at the nearby Walgreens, and take all our purchases to her beauty department register. Although tattoo and piercing deprived, she seems happy.

I like your writing. Write on, please. Dan

Titles get thrown around like an old baseball and I think it confuses people. I think it all may have started back maybe 20 years ago when the trash collector started calling himself a sanitation engineer. Suddenly it’s not PC to call a clerk a clerk or a salesperson a salesperon. What actually IS a consultant now? Is it the cashier at Walgreens or is it the professional who can offer insight and years of experience to back it up? It cheapens the meaning of what talented trained professionals do. Thanks once again for stopping by and adding your thoughts.

Great, as always.

It has always been interesting to me what car dealerships call their salespeople, too. “Sales Consultant,” “Transportation Advisor,” even “Auto Expert.” These seem so dressed up. But when their title is “Car Salesman” we automatically tense up. Kind of unfair and asking too much at the same time, isn’t it?

Anyway, thanks for the musings.
