Poem- “Satisfaction and Budgeting”

“Satisfaction and Budgeting”

Restaurants want to know if customers believe their food is delicious.

However, grocery stores do not really want to know.

Let’s say, you eat at a restaurant.

A waiter comes by the table and asks you,

“Do you enjoy your food?”

Restaurants ask questions like that to observe your satisfaction.

Grocery stores do not ask questions like that.

Grocery stores do not ask about your taste, value, enjoyment, and so on.

A grocery store will post a TV commercial that says,

“We always sell food at low prices and give the best discounts.”

Well, that TV commercial does represent economics for budgeting.

But, that TV commercial does not represent “art” for taste and personality.

A restaurant business would receive opinions for taste and flavor.

Restaurants want their customers to have satisfaction with delicious food.

Do grocery stores care in the same, exact way that restaurants do?

I do not think so.

A restaurant worker asks me questions like these below:

“How is the taste?”

“How is the flavor?”

“How is the texture?”

“How is the value?”
“How is the temperature?”

“How is the satisfaction?”

“How is the recommendation?”

“How is the family?”

“How is the friendly worker?”

“How is the sandwich?”

“How are the fries?”

“How likely do you tell a friend?”

“How likely do you tell your family?”

Grocery stores do not really ask questions like that.

Instead, grocery stores ask questions like these below:

“Did you find what you were looking for?”

“Did you find the item in stock?”

“Was the store clean?”
“Was the store organized?”

“Did you receive a discount?”

“Do you find the same item at another store for a lower price?”

“Did you get enough for the price?”

“Was the food affordable?”

“Did your shopping list work for your budget?”

“Did you get a shopping cart?”

“Did someone help you?”

“Was the meat department in order?”

“How many stars will you give us?”

These questions, once again, represent economics.

But, these questions do not represent art, taste, and personality.

Basically, restaurants say,

“You will be a very happy customer and visit us again soon.”

But, grocery stores just say,

“We sell groceries for low prices and give discounts on produce.”

For this reason, I love restaurant experience more than grocery experience.

Restaurants really want to know what my taste is like.

On the other hand, grocery stores usually just say something dull like,

“Buy chicken for $2.14 a pound and present a coupon to the register.”

It’s economics.

But, it’s not personality.

Happiness is personality.

Budgeting is just economics.
