In both cases I have NO IDEA why you should have had to put up with that. The first threat, guy number one should have been out. The first time calling you a 'retard' woman number two should have been out. No excuses whatsoever.

[NorthernZel]

^^
I totally agree re: the second incident - why wasn't security alerted?

[Kogarashi]

That second incident is where I would've said, "I don't have to take this" and immediately called for a manager, with apologies to anyone else in line. WM doesn't pay enough for me to have to take such verbal abuse.

With the first.... "I drive a Civic!" Um, good for you? Nutter.

[ShootMePlease]

In both cases I have NO IDEA why you should have had to put up with that. The first threat, guy number one should have been out. The first time calling you a 'retard' woman number two should have been out. No excuses whatsoever.

This.

You are NOT paid to tolerate being treated like shit.

[Crescent Cat]

I work in assisted living for people with cognitive disabilities, you know, "retards".

One of them has worked at Albertsons for 14 years and is one of the hardest workers I've seen. Can you imagine if that bitch had come in the line she was bagging for? Jesus, what is wrong with people? Why the hell would you make fun of people that can't help the way they are? Not only that but she's spreading that ignorance to her child.

I can tell you honestly that the people I support are smarter than her. For one, they've mastered respect for one another and basic manners. They also all have jobs. I'm willing to bet that ignorant bitch has never worked a day in her hateful life.

[Cerys]

Still, got to love the irony of someone who can't do basic mathematics accusing someone else of being a retard.

[Grape The Cat]

I wish i had called management on the second one. I really do. At the time I was just stunned by the whole thing and trying to get the b-tch out of my life quicker. Dumb, of me, I know.

Crescent Cat you are absolutely right, that b-tch bragged about never having to work. i graduated high school in the same class as her. She was from a rich family. Proof that money can't buy class.

[orcprincess]

I am so sorry that some *bleep* felt the need to call you that ugh...just ugh!!!

My uncle Jack(bless him) was mentally retarded, and it made me sick that they used that term for him, as there was nothing he could do about his circumstances...I dislike it being used to classify someone, and I also find it utterly disgusting someone would just say something so hurtful to a complete stranger.

I'm gonna go cry now.

[MoonCat]

my daughter knows more about the environment than you!!! She watches Captain Planet!!

You're kidding right? Right??

As for the second woman...words can't describe how incredibly stupid she is. And she has a kid? Sad.

[Lachrymose]

CN: I drive a Civic!

"I drive a Dodge Stratus!"

[jjc927]

Person #1 makes me never want to buy a Civic (no offense to anyone on here that drives one)

Person #2... look who's talking! 10 cent items at a grocery store, let alone anywhere? Don't think so. I can't imagine what his problem is.

[mikoyan29]

If that person were truly environmentally friendly, they would ride a bike. And what business of his what people drive.

Number two....geeze before questioning someone's intelligenc, you might want to check your math.

[Food Lady]

First guy: Manager should not have prefaced his refusal to comply with the SC's demands with "I'm sorry...." It should have been, "I don't [not "can't"] tell employees what to drive" and "No. I will not call any employees up here." You have to be firm with the demanding jerks. As for the woman with the superiority complex: I've never had someone call me "retard," but the first time it happens I'm going to void everything I've scanned, log off, tell the SC "You'll need to find someone else to ring you up." Then I take everyone else to another register.

[Tithera]

........................uh, I own a civic too. Doesn't mean I have the right to fly off my rocker and make everyone else witness it for my own sick entertainment, like you dude. Seriously, take a damn chill pill, wow.

And for the retard thing, that.....just.....wow. Personally, I probably would have punched the woman in the face and gladly went with the lovely officers in pretty bracelets, but that's just me. You did not deserve that at all!!! And with her child parroting her, that's just insane! What would have happened if the person she was yelling at (instead of you) was actually mentally handicapped? Even in the slang form, it's still terrible. I'll admit, I'll use the slang form for situations that are stupid or I may call someone that because they are being stupid, but I never use it to mock or claw at someone, handicapped or no; just in a mostly joking manner. The way she did was mean, uncalled for, and.........dammit, I need to kill something. That woman is HORRIBLE! *picks up PS3 controller, logs onto Call of Duty: Black Ops*

*note, not fratching, just that woman, nothing against mentally handicapped people, etc.
