I hadn't thought of that. Makes you wonder how many good natured people are keeping it together despite what could be happening to them personally.<br /><br />@ Debadee: I love that you said "innit."

I don't care if you own the business or not. There was no call for it the first time. You are always suppose to be polite to all customers. <br /><br />I do feel bad with what she is going through. But there was no reason to be bitchy to you the first time. You did nothing wrong when you brought the books in the store. You were not mean to them and they should have never been mean to you. I am glad it all went good this time. I don't agree with the policy either. I bet she didn't even remember who you were when you walked in the store this time.Tender Heart Bearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13066055559647242770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4043113139515346307.post-79815857966122448772011-06-19T01:28:28.007-07:002011-06-19T01:28:28.007-07:00Weird innit?

You never know what's just happened to someone, or how rude & aggressive someone's just been to them. <br />I hate rudeness in shops and have complained to head offices before now, when it's been really bad, ('Next' sent me £20 voucher as an apology for their staffs rudeness once).<br />I agree with Mellodee in some ways but it'd be completely alien to a Brit to explain why they were a bit off to a stranger. Human nature means we react without rationale sometimes and as long as it's not just out of 'can't be arsedness' then it's bearable. We're naturally sympathetic and open to others tales of woe, so if there's a reason behind the attitude, then I suppose we tend to put up &shut up. If it happened more than once with the same person though, I'd have to say something. On hormonal days, when faced with unhelpful, rude staff, I have been known to tell them to Fuq off.debadeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07558657380671235088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4043113139515346307.post-39280914153427233582011-06-18T21:42:23.873-07:002011-06-18T21:42:23.873-07:00Everybody has a story, some of them awful, but to ...Everybody has a story, some of them awful, but to just be bitchy at you because of something personal, that's not good at all. All it would take would be a "I'm sorry, there's a lot going on in my life and its a little hard not to worry. I don't mean to take my worries out on you. I apologize." <br /><br />I don't need to hear the story, I am more than willing to try to be empathetic. Perhaps, even come back on another day (as you did!) But without explanation, without apology, without courtesy, without a reason??? Nope, not good at all. And I would not go back!<br /><br />Since I have reached those days of purple hats, I find that I will not just "take it" anymore. You push me? I push you back!Mellodeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07515414035373189099noreply@blogger.com
