From the way some people rant and whine, you would almost imagine that to be the case, it must be unfortunate for them, especially when they become adult and enter the workplace, and learn that Market Research is a thing that companies do. Imagine that… “So, today we’re going to talk about the polls we’re doing as to whether strawberry flavoured cola is something people want. The initial feedback is very positive, so it seems like we could do some good for our sales by bringing in a brand of Stra-”
The Door gets kicked in violently
“I don’t like it!”
“Well, yes, why not take a seat and we can discuss I-”

“They don’t know cola the way I do! I remember Cola back in the day, you’re only giving Strawberry cola to people because they say it is popular!”
“Well, yes, I mean that is how this works, that is in essence entirely what this was about, now it seems that a lot of people like the idea and-”
“I DON’T CARE! Don’t you understand? -I- Don’t want it!”
“That’s not really how this works, we conducted a poll, and…”

“Right, but with respect Dave, you were hired to fill the vending machines, you’re not part of the decision making process”

“I’ve had enough, someone call security and get this guy out of the office”
“But I don’t Like it!”
“We got that, we’ll send your termination of contract to you in the mail…”
That kind of attitude will never go far in the workplace, well, apart from freeing up a job for another person, I suppose.
