If you have a service-oriented job that relies on public patronage, know that:

--No one will pamper you but yourself
--Attention-seekers will cling to you like leeches
--The desperate will squeeze every ounce of help from you and then not pay you
--Most of your patrons will not bother to show you gratitude
--Competitors will not only imitate you, they will improve what they offer and do one over you
--Your enemies will be vociferous in their criticisms of you
--Ill-wishers will seek to complain and even sue you for your slightest errors
