Reply #164: "One mild oath" is not the same as "antisocial screaming".

Being assertive is not the same as being threatening. Standing up to the corporatocracy does not mean you're crazy.

I'm sure she was being a pain in the ass for the manager - with some justification. I'm sure she made a scene in the store. THAT IS NOT A CRIME. The solution would have been to give her the damn $30 and tell her never to come back. But, no. The dickless wonder manager Mr Nasty lacked either the authority or imagination do to the right thing. Instead he had to threaten a sick, harmless 79-yr old lady arrest.

"Team members were concerned about her well-being and her safety, and wanted to make sure she wasn't endangering herself." How very Big Brother-ish of them. Spare me from the kindness & compassion of corporations.
