Little Boy!

[Grape The Cat]

Honestly, our managers(at the time) told us that we were not to walk away from a customer for any reason. And management wondered why they had a turnover problem. They did change the rule later.

I feel sorry for the daughter, but at least she's on the right track. And I suspect she won't be bringing the grandkids to visit Grandma Beeyotch very often...

Good odds that Grandma isn't ever gonna know if she IS a Grandma or not.

When I hear Little Boy, I can only think of one thing.....Some times I think of its larger cousin too.

'Little Boy' dropped on Hiroshima by 'Enola Gay'
'Fat Man' dropped on Nagasaki by 'Bockscar'

(bit of a history nut too)

Don't forget their mother....The Gadget.

AKA Trinity...

AKA Trinity...

Trinity was the test itself, not the device. This is ground zero for the Manhattan Project, I kind of have to know all of this.

Fun fact. The address in Santa Fe where the mail for the Manhattan Project was delivered is now a high-priced bedding store. I love that store.

Ah, yes... I went back and checked after I posted that and found out that my memory hadn't quite served me correctly... oops... mind you it was quite a while ago since I'd learnt about that

This woman is damn lucky she didn't do this to ME. Can you imagine?

SC: Little Boy! Little Boy! < to me> Little Boy!
JESTER: You see a little boy, you kick his ass for me.

SC: Little Boy! Little Boy! < to me> Little Boy!
JESTER: Yes, how may I help you?
SC: Yes, what???
JESTER: Yes, how may I help you?

SC: That's right, little boy Ma'am. I am the customer I am to be treated with the utmost respect. Or are you too stupid to know that,little boy?
JESTER: Excuse me? If you want respect, it's probably a not a good idea to verbally abuse those you want to respect you. Now, if you don't start being more polite, not only are you are not going to get my help, I will have security escort you from the store.

SC: I need a futon!
JESTER: I need a lap dance from Megan Fox, but that ain't gonna happen either.

SC: I need a futon!
JESTER: Okay. I'll page a stockman for you.
SC: You help me. Little Boy.
JESTER: I am trying to help you by getting the person best suited for the job. If you don't want that, you won't be getting that futon. Your choice.

SC: You're just too dumb to help me little boy.You are dumb aren't you little boy? That's why you work here, little boy!
JESTER: I work here to make money to pay my rent and bills. And if you continue to insult me, I am going to have you removed from the store.

SC: You're just too dumb to help me little boy.You are dumb aren't you little boy? That's why you work here, little boy!
JESTER: I've tried to help you, lady, but I've had enough. Take your crappy attitude and your superiority complex and your utter BULLSHIT and get the fuck out of this store. NOW!

JESTER: Let me get a stockman for you.
SC: F-ck you, little boy. I am a feminist. Little boy. I am smarter than you, little boy.<walks off>
JESTER: I know many feminists that are smarter than me, and you are clearly not one of them.

SCD: No problem. I'm used to this by now.

I knew this guy who hung out with a fellow Marine, and always had to apologize for his friend whenever they went out. To which I asked him the simple question: "Then why do you keep going out with him?"

Sadly, the daughter has far less choice in the matter.

I would say that the woman had a psychiatric problem of some sort. That simply isn't how normal people behave.

I am not one of those people that believe every kind of bad behavior is due to a syndrome, illness, or disorder. I'd say her psychiatric problem was "Fucked in the Head." Aka, she was just simply an asshole, a bitch, a person who wimply isn't very nice. No mental illness, she's just a fucktrumpet, an assclown, a raging twat. Pick a phrase, any phrase.

I miss the old days, when people knew that respect was earned.

Many of us still DO.


It's threads like this that remind me of what a great thing it is that I am a bartender and not in retail. I have never worked retail, and the gods be willing, I never will.

[chainedbarista]

feminist my ass; feminists believe in equality for ALL people. she's just a random dumbass staking claim to a label she doesn't deserve (like the 'vegans' who wear leather and drink cream fraps ).

[aurelemsrealm]

That woman was just a big bitch. Policy or not, I would have refused to help her, and would have walked away. The alternative would be to say something that might get me fired because I sure as hell am not going to stand there to take abuse from some stupid cuntzilla.

I would be really mortified....he'll I'd probably disown my parents if they acted like that SC did.
