The Official Status Update Thread: Part 95 - Braveheart

The sad part is her children are, more than likely, going to be just like her.

The fruit falls close to the tree.

I gotta clean up the shop. Gun projects to get done.

Agreed. She told me that the reason she was rude is because she is 35 years old and her mother is black.

I had no idea that age and race entitled you to be rude and nasty

It just comes with the territory. I'm a pretty patient person and I don't let things get to me so I can handle it. At the end of the night I just laugh about it and feel sorry for people who act like that

I always got a good laugh out of it and was careful not to let it get to me.

To be honest, I tend to be a bit passive aggressive and I tend to get joy out of telling somebody to f*** off without actually saying f*** off.

All too often people get pissy over stupid ****, often of their own doing. I've dealt with people like this my entire working life. I'm so glad that I'm not in "retail" anymore.

Ever consider becoming a mod?

I think it almost makes people like that even more mad when you're totally calm about it and act like it doesn't bother you at all. The calmer and nicer I was the more she screamed. It was pretty hilarious

I may or may not have done that a few times over the years. It can be very satisfying.

This has exactly what to do with the issue of being a _________? (insert your own word choice)

The worst part is that when people call me or come in with a problem and they calmly and nicely explain to me what it wrong, I'm likely to help them even more. Oh you were missing an order of breadsticks? Here's two fresh orders and a two liter. It's simple really. Just be nice and I'll go above and beyond

I have no idea

Apparently it has everything to do with it

Absolutely!

 

[RedneckReject]

Absolutely!

There are quite a few people who realize this about me by now. They're always polite and they understand that we're all human and mistakes happen. I hook them up. The lady from last night has already been blocked from my system and will not be served anymore

Just buzzwords spoken to evoke emotion. Many people don't have conviction in much of anything anymore. Just rattle off whatever sounds good based on what they see or hear others say.

I've moderated and administered many forums - was a mod on the Allpar.com forums for a while and also on TheAdminZone. I also admin our own company forums but it's not nearly as busy as here .

That said - I did offer to help out if it was needed - talked to Fenway at the 1500 last year sometime and I guess the help isn't needed because my offer was never followed up on .

I'm on INGO enough [since I work on the computer, I browse forums while I work] that I'd be happy to help as much as I can if it's needed but I'm not losing any sleep over not being abused either!

Good for you! Too many time this type of behavior is "rewarded." Sometimes green is more important than respecting employees.

Well to say you're rude because of your race does NOT help anything. In fact it helps to create a stereotype. And those are ridiculous

Not in my store. If you act like an idiot and then threaten me with violence I will shut you down. That's the end of it

Agreed. They don't think much about what they say. They don't really bother with checking themselves if they believe what they say. They are only concerned that YOU believe what they say, and that it somehow will affect you and justify their behavior. It's just bizarre IMO. Serious insecurity.

I was jesting (with respect to the previous comment only).
Awesome that you contacted Fenway. My guess is he was busy wrangling us noob moderators at that time... certainly worth a revisit, he's a pretty busy guy.
