Why are customers more appreciative than service...

The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley ·

2026/03/30

"Why do I say 'thank you' more to the store than they say 'thank you' to me?" Jeremy Bradley is at it again! More customer service stories and why he thinks employee training needs to shift to put patrons back on a pedestal. JB talks about how he finds himself thanking cashiers after they ring him though but rarely gets a 'thank you' from the establishment to which he just gave money. "I'm not expecting them to bow down and kiss my ass," he says, "but staff never seems grateful to customers. ...

2026/03/27

Remember when you would go to work, do the job and go home -- and that's it? Jeremy Bradley talks about how workplaces have become hangouts and, worse yet, daycares for employees. He mentions how playing games, having contests and winning $5 coffee gift cards is meant to boost morale and facilitate employee engagement but, at the end of the day, most workers want to come in, do the work and leave. "I know one company where management guilts, if not forces, employees to go to the holiday party...

When you're a kid, everything Mom cooks tastes the best, right? Plus, your mom has the answer for everything. Then, when you grow up you realize: maybe not so much. Jeremy Bradley talks about how your opinion about parental knowledge and skills changes as you experience life. JB talks about his mom's "moist-free chicken" and how when he grew up and worked at a restaurant he learned how to properly prepare meat for the ultimate flavor. Later, he has a laugh about her "literal chocolate chip" c...

"It was only a matter of time," said Jeremy Bradley. "If ABC ran The Bachelorette amid multiple scandals involving its lead, it would've been a PR nightmare for the network condoning domestic violence." It was looking like ABC would platform Taylor Frankie Paul with a season premiere on Sunday amid ongoing police and criminal investigation into her antics involving one of her baby daddies. Then, after video of a violent attack went public, ABC caved -- after previously hiring a crisis PR mana...

Awards show season has come to an end. And, if viewers largely tuned out, did they really even happen? Entertainment host of 20-plus years, Jeremy Bradley, talks about how people don't care to spend three and a half hours (six, if they watch the red carpet) to tune into an awards show. JB talks about the shifting viewer habits where people watch "moments" instead of the full telecast. With so many avenues and platforms to consume content, are people willing to spend a couple of hours watching...

It's a little bit of everything with Jeremy Bradley this week. First, a random story about vinegar and JB learning about all of its uses in three different instances in a matter of days. "I had no idea it does everything," he says. Next, JB talks about people oversharing their relationship details. Whether it's on social media or discussing with friends and co-workers, JB explains why he keeps things private -- even with the group with whom he's worked for over 20 years. "We just don't talk a...

Imagine not caring about your social status and impressing onlookers. Jeremy Bradley talks about society's need for constant attention and applause from audiences. "Imagine going on a vacation with your partner and not taking one photo," JB said. "It's moments between the two of you. Why is your first thought to snap pics and immediately upload them for the world to see?" Is that a slap in the face to your partner? Later, JB talks about one specific person who, while an adult, constantly shar...

Are people really falling for fake AI crap on social media? Jeremy Bradley talks about how scamming is becoming so obvious that, maybe, just maybe, people deserve it. He talks about how the targets used to be seniors, but now with social media, JB is surprised by how many youngsters are getting taken. The tipping point was an obvious AI ad on YouTube and a quick Google search -- and, of course, scanning Reddit forums.

2026/03/02

It's a tutorial in broadcasting with Jeremy Bradley this week. He takes aim at YouTubers and podcasters who can't speak two or three sentences without having noticeable edits in their delivery. In particular, JB discusses jump-cut edits where the camera shot jumps because the person has changed the flow of their monologue. "If you can't get your message out without multiple edits, you either need public-speaking lessons, a script to follow -- or to do something different entirely because you ...

Do you scoff at the idea of winning "only" $10 million? How about just a million? Jeremy Bradley talks about a colleague who won't buy a lottery ticket if the jackpot is too low. "I've never heard that before," says JB. "A million dollars is a million dollars. I'll take it." Later, JB wonders why people clench their teeth when they pet his dogs. "It worries me. Are they going to bite my dogs?" he laughs when he reminds listeners that it's a bunch of randomness on the show this week. Switching...

2026/02/23

In what's become a four-part series, Jeremy Bradley continues sharing thoughts about the food industry. It's driven by responses from listeners who offer their opinions and insights into what they feel is happening at eateries. This time, JB talks about the push to support local businesses that are (supposedly) the heart of a community. Do you do it because it's the "right thing" to do? Or do you base your spending on costs? If the marketing tactic is "shop local" but local is 40 times the pr...

2026/02/20

Grocery stores have notoriously put customers to work: scanning items, bagging them (and for many people, adding extra un-scanned items to those bags -- wink, wink). Now, Jeremy Bradley says restaurants are determined to give customers less human interaction. Giant kiosks are in the middle of the area where people would once line up to place orders at fast-food counters. "How soon before we're dishing up and serving ourselves at the counter?" he asks. Plus, JB wonders why -- aside from a data...

2026/02/16

Restaurant rants on the last episode had listeners react! Jeremy Bradley talks about complaints over restaurant pricing. A $20 hamburger? And $9 for fries? How about $8 for gravy? (Hi, KFC!) Really? Are costs preventing people from eating at restaurants? JB's other issue: wine. "Why do they never fill up the giant wine glass? Give us a smaller glass then, it looks cheap almost empty. If you ordered iced tea, they'd never give you a half glass."

It was a disastrous restaurant visit from the beginning... but the food was great. Is the bad overall experience enough to make you stay away in the future? Jeremy Bradley tells a story about his colleague having a nightmare restaurant experience literally from the moment she walked in the door. Are there situations you can overlook if the food is good? Or, is a terrible employee attitude enough to keep you away forever? Later, JB shares a story about how he turned a laughable restaurant visi...

It's the first time Jeremy Bradley has been sick in nearly eight years. It's a big deal... for him! People get sick all the time so it's likely not a major issue for you, but it's thrown JB for a loop. He talks about the humor in suddenly falling ill in what's usually an incredibly healthy household. "We didn't even have pain reliever or cold meds in our medicine cabinet because we don't get sick," JB says. "We asked each other what we should get because we forgot since it's been so long!" It...

2026/02/06

Jeremy Bradley cuts to the chase this week: Interacting with people has become such a pain. It's not necessarily the people themselves, it's the channels and platforms that facilitate the contact. JB discusses the frustration of having a simple question or concern but the never-ending runaround as a customer to come to a conclusion. It leads to another rant about customer service -- or "customer experience" as it's commonly known. Why isn't the customer number 1 anymore? Do you find that comp...

It's one thing to have an opinion and share it on your digital platforms, but are you a one-trick pony? Jeremy Bradley talks about the podcasters and YouTubers who only talk about one subject... all the time... over and over again. At some point, the subject matter should be changed up. The Trump haters, the Meghan Markle critics -- just don't stop. Entire channels and pages are devoted to one subject. What happens once Trump is out of office? What happens if something tragic happens to Markl...

Whether it's the cost or the overall experience, is in-restaurant dining a thing of the past? Jeremy Bradley talks about his recent observations when sitting down to eat. JB has long talked about his lack of interest in cooking so ordering food is a near-daily habit. Whether it's waiting to be seated, overhearing loud staff conversations, or wondering why you get a giant wine glass that is never filled to the top like every other drink, JB discusses why customers might be losing interest in t...

Jeremy Bradley has been covering red carpets for over 15 years. It started with Canadian Idol in Toronto and then moved to A-list Hollywood events. He talks about how the red carpet experience has changed thanks to social media and selfies. "It's no longer about the celebrity and their moment," recalls JB. "It's now the "influencer's" look-at-me moment and fanning out." He talks about how you wouldn't dare ask for a selfie with a celeb back in the day. "Getting on a red carpet meant you had j...
