You fucking bitch.

[audiodubliner]

Honestly I think its funny when you get bad service from a kid. Its like role reversal, now your the grumpy old man on the other end they are going to go laugh at on their smoke breaks or whatever.

c'mon... was Robin really "treated like dirt"?

sounds to me like the cashier was in a pissy mood... it wasn't that bad.

go over store management's heads and both email and phone in a complaint to corporate hq. they'll reprimand the manager, who will in turn reprimand the employee. otherwise you know the manager probably wouldn't do shit about it.

or you could be kind to the cashier and not waste any more of your time complaining to someone about what happened. let it go and go about your day because there are more important things to do in this world than complain about one person having a bad day.

I guess some people choose to be doormats, and others see a problem and tackle it. Your business not being appreciated at a place where you spend money = treated like dirt.

all about perception. i don't consider being kind to someone equal to "being a doormat" but i would consider complaining about it or being a bitch in return to be "part of the problem and not the solution"

different strokes i guess...

I consider walking away in a fog with the idealisitic attitude that your kindness really showed them to be perpetuating the problem rather than putting a stop to it.

i would have told them to fuck off in the most embarrassing way possible and i sure as hell would have walked out of there with some free movies and whoppers.

well then your perception would be wrong because when i'm kind to someone in that situation i don't think "i showed them" because attempting to "show someone" is the same as going and complaining to a manager. i'm kind for kindness sake, not being i'm trying to "show someone" or get something in return.

you call me idealistic but at least i'm acting in the way that i'd like the world to be instead of just succumbing to the shit storm we're in and joining in the bullshit.

that'll show em! maybe you should get your lawyer to sue the cashier for slander!

I would have thrown the burgers in her face and told her if she didnt take her career at blockbuster more seriously, she would have to go find another minimum wage job, pronto.

That would teach her!

yup. a simple online hoovers search will show you who the vp of store operations is. call that person. leave a message and shit will get handled forthwith. once the dumb bitch gets fired enough she will learn her lesson otherwise go jobless.

being a flaming pussy in that situation does nothing but promote that behavior and let people run over you. neither of which i'm willing to do.

Making a phone call and sending an email letting corporate know about your experience at one of their stores is hardly the equivalent of setting the place on fire after punching the cashier in the face, and it's even further removed from the idea of succumbing to a societal shit storm. Don't you think that's a wee bit dramatic?

oh here we got with life lessons from juandingo

don't be nice to anyone because then you're just being a pussy. if anyone ever confronts you then you must immediately beat them down. if they are bigger than you then you must take the beating because if you try to avoid the fight then you are a pussy. being a pussy is the worse thing you can be. you must be a mindless drone and go along with what everyone else is doing or else you will be a pussy. try to tell as many jokes at other people's expense as possible in an attempt to degrade them and make them feel like shit. or else you're a pussy. if you encounter someone who doesn't get affected by your lame attempts at humor then you must do what you can to get everyone else to dogpile on them because evidently one person being an asshole to them wasn't enough, if the entire asshole community gets after them then clearly that will work. if you fail to do these things then you are a pussy and might as well just kill yourself because a pussy life is not worth living.

nope. but i think taking the time to complain about a person having a bad day is dramatic.

we'll probably just have to agree to disagree because obviously i can't persuade you to be kind to people in these kinds of situations. you will complain and so will 99% of society and nothing will ever change.

[Luxe]

And I think it's perfectly justified when a store employee is completely rude to you out of nowhere. Going over their heads and letting their employer handle their attitude is pretty damned kind actually, because I just might bite their head off if I chose to handle it myself. Agree to disagree.

you're such a fucking cuntrag. all i'm stating to do is act like a consumer and exercise your right to good service. not be a silly faggot like yourself all the time. no one said anything about violence. now did they? keep trying motherfucker.
