Often customers expect too much from the service industry, they expect the service to act as a servant instead of a dual relationship. If the customer had an equal relationship and greeted the attendant with happiness or general awareness for their employment expectations the realtionship would be much more equivalent and generally better off for the following customers and the persons remainder of their shift. Customers these days are recieving too much power for their service needs and are expecting too much from employees and their so called "servants". If the customer were to treat the worker with appreciation they would go out of their way too make the consumers experience that much more appealing. I was in wal-mart the other day and an employee was having a problem figuring out a section where the customers questionable good was placed and the customer was huffing and puffing about it. Face-it the worker did not have a clue where the product was shelved, ask another employee and say thank-you for your time. Instead the consumer was expecting a quick response to exactly where the product was placed, they felt wasted of their time for a simple mis-understanding. Consumers should have an account for responsibility, although they are a customer to a service or shopping center, it should be an equal relationship where time, kindness, and open communication are all equal in resonation. Consumers are recieving too much power for their business and aren't feeling responsible for their shopping personality, when they should feel responsible for being a service recipient.

Rise of the Creative class
The rise of the creative class from generation y to generation x and the latter half of the baby boomers, creativity and techonology has rapidly started to progress. From myspace to facebook and even amazon.com, people have become extremely set on networking and getting themselves out there to the public. The creative class are the people whether scientists, artists, musicians, designers or any knowledge based intiatives that create new ideas and awareness about inventions or innovational products. These creative people are beginning to change the economy, stimulating economic growth and pushing the envelope "so to speak" on the way the world lives and interacts with eachother. This class has drastically overtaken employment in the last decading accounting for $1.7 trillion of the north american salaries beating out the service sector. With jobs and business evironments becoming more and more creative fields of study and work, where are jobs and service wages going in the near future. Although the service sector is the one that start jumps the creative business sector, we are slowly seeing these jobs diminish right before our eyes. To help stimulate employment growth in this new economy look for service sector jobs to become more creative and begin to conglomerate with this high end business outfits. For the creative class to progress in creativity they must team up with all individuals and businesses in the near future, starting to build superpowers of intiatives, looking out for the economy as a whole, focusing on growth and stimulation in all areas and fields.
