(10,164 posts)Sounds like someone who wouldn't just stand there and tolerate being condescended to. I certainly wouldn't...not from anyone, be they a minimum-wage customer service person or a CEO. I'm not a "turn the other cheek" kinda gal...not part of my belief system, thanks.
I make it a point to be polite and friendly to people in service jobs. Hell, I've been known to talk shit to people who give them a hard time without provocation. But if they're going to to be a condescending asshat to me just because I prefer not to support offshoring American manufacturing jobs, then they're going to hear about it. I'm not going to talk to their boss or try to get them fired...but I sure will tell them what I think of them. Having a shitty job isn't a license to be a dick to people who've done nothing to deserve it.
