(587 posts)It can really reveal so much about how crappy human beings can be. I was a cashier in college, and later did some customer service stuff on phones. People don't think twice about being rude to people. I remember I was working at the front desk of a grocery store once, and this old guy comes in and starts yelling at me, La Seur Peas!!! I was like excuse me? how can I help you? he again screams La Seur peas!! okkk, well I don't know what your talking about.. he says the La Seur peas in the flyer where are they! I said they should be in aisle 4 (or whatever) canned vegetable aisle. Apparently, this wasn't a good enough explanation so he took the stack of flyers on the counter and threw them at me. I just stand there dumbfounded at this man's idiocy. What the hell was I supposed to do? take him by the hand and lead him to his peas?? I was the only one at the counter at the time and couldn't leave so that was out of the question. I was basically assaulted with flyers by this asshole, and he gets to go off and do this again to some other defenseless person. All this and I was paid the hefty sum of 4.50 an hour (at the time this was minimum wage), no health care, no full time, just abuse and crap flung at me. I have no respect for anyone that abuses someone in the service industry. It pisses me off. Now that I'm no longer in those types of jobs, every time I see someone being abused like that, I want to jump over the counter and hug them and then beat the crap out of the abuser.
