I don't know about anyone else, but I tell you what...if the time ever comes when I work only because I want to, not because I have to, it'll be a cold day in hell when I take that kind of shit from anyone, let alone a snot-nosed kid just barely out of diapers.

No way.

Some years ago I volunteered (no pay!) at a Planned Parenthood clinic. The majority of people there were pleasant. Some, however...mostly doctors...were arrogant little assholes. Needless to say, I didn't stay there long.

If someone is working because they don't really need the money, you don't chastise them in public. You don't treat them like children. It's bad enough to put up with that shit if you HAVE to work.

So in this case, I truly believe that woman in the store really needed her job and was afraid to stand up to that jackass manager. Maybe it's just my own assumption, but I can't imagine any reasonable adult accepting that sort of thing if s/he doesn't have to.

I know that if I didn't need that job, I would tell that moron to go fuck himself with the entire contents of the frozen foods section.
