This morning I came across an article that spoke to me on a few different levels. The first level was, wow, he doesn’t seem to mind using curse words in his writing. Second, I wish I had done the same just two days ago when I saw a crazy lazy chewing out a cashier at Target. And lastly the one that hit home the most. And I quote:
And while I was pleased to learn that this particular manager wasn’t going to fire the new girl based on the whim of some fat ass piece of trailer trash, I was disappointed that he rewarded said trash’s temper tantrum with free food. I long for the day a manager walks up to a table and says, “How dare you treat my employee this way. Get out now.”
This hit home because I remember a time when I was working at Spencer Gifts back in Leesburg when my manager did just that. I had a customer who was asking for one of those stupid dog puppets from pets.com and we had put them into storage for the season. I was told by my management that I was not allowed to sell anything that was in the back room because it was so busy in the store. The customer was furious when I told him that I wasn’t allowed to go get the puppet, and my manager over hearing said customer chew me out, basically told the man to get out of the store and stop harassing me. So John if you are out there, thanks for being such a good guy.
