As a "business owner" she represented herself very poorly and it was obvious to everyone who saw it. It is possible to be tactful yet firm to get what you want, but some people cannot figure it out to save their lives.Jennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10342495524685548162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2998392453589309507.post-41407315812400111432011-08-04T09:33:53.744-07:002011-08-04T09:33:53.744-07:00I don't know, I wouldn't be too quick to j...I don't know, I wouldn't be too quick to judge since you didn't hear the whole story...<br /><br />I agree that some people do get really catty at the wrong people but I have had some situations where employees have been very rude to me. I mean, I have graciously come to <i>their</i> store to spend my money when I could have gone somewhere else so I do expect some kindness and respect. I am not one to blow up in people's faces but maybe the lady was right. After all, if you spent <i>$900</i> at a store, you would expect to be treated with a greater respect.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02362575625661395706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2998392453589309507.post-59628233142377589632011-08-03T17:39:52.982-07:002011-08-03T17:39:52.982-07:00This happens to me at work all the time!

I have been cussed out, called so many disgusting names, and even threatened to be beaten up- by an adult man! There are always those other witnesses that apologize later and it makes me feel a little bit of relief, as in knowing they are crazy, not me! So to anyone who has defended the poor manager or cashier who is just doing their job- Thank you!asshleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13651656109909752530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2998392453589309507.post-71453486483992057422011-08-01T18:08:38.196-07:002011-08-01T18:08:38.196-07:00Way to go, Beth!Way to go, Beth!Jennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10342495524685548162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2998392453589309507.post-25642603849384211522011-08-01T17:37:24.793-07:002011-08-01T17:37:24.793-07:00Great advice!

I calmly told the man he should stop being rude and that his mother would be ashamed of him.

Target also. In fact, I'm thinking of doing that tonight. I saw John Gray on TV (the guy who wrote Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus) and he said women seek oxytocin to recharge and relax and one of the ways we do that is to shop. So wandering around in a favorite store produces oxytocin!

I was at kids day at the superstition springs mall waiting in the massive line for the merry-go-round and I saw a woman screaming at one of the floor sweeping women. I don't know what happened but she was screaming for the cleaner to apologize to her little girl who looked about 4 and very uncomfortable. I'm guessing she swept up her toy or something but by the way she was acting you would think the cleaner had walked up and slapped her child across the face. Anyways, I've never seen an adult behave like that and I was sickened. As soon as the cleaner walked away I approached her and told her that woman was WAY out of line. The woman burst into tears and ran away. Myself and about a hundred other adults who were semi-circled around this scene called the management and had the woman tossed out. She wasn't happy about it but I hope it sent her a message. It doesn't matter what happened, there is a way you treat people and screaming at employees is NOT appropriate.

Not as the yeller but as the receiver. Its baffling to me that people think that type of behavior is appropriate in any situation and even more baffling when they have someone with them who doesn't tell them to cool the crap down. My husband and I have had a deal for a very long time that if either of us is treating someone poorly, even unintentionally or if deserved, we would not stand idly by and allow it to happen. The worst is when the person has children with them because that child grows up thinking that its acceptable to vent and storm and another human being if you feel like you deserve to. You don't. Being upset is fine but you are in complete control of your reactions and do not get to release your anger on another individual. Some people just don't understand that feeling angry and being mean do NOT go hand in hand.<br />I have to remind myself this every time I'm accosted because that seems like the perfect excuse to treat someone poorly back (mainly for me because the yeller is almost always in the wrong), but again, its not. Being nice can be difficult, but it is also very important.<br /><br />Thus concludes chapter 1...riiight?
