yourfriendsami rated 6 days ago- i fucking wish someone would do that for me at my jobs. i deal with sexual harassment in retail and angry people when i unintentionally give them the wrong size to go box at the restaurant because im new. i dont enjoy dealing with angry people, and i shouldn't have to put up with an ape grabbing me.

- I have a teacher that once worked at a grocery store. Upon seeing a woman let her young child knock several cans off of a shelf and leave them there he approached her and told her to clean up the mess her child made. She naturally replied that she didn't have to because "the customer is always right." He proceeded to tell her that in fact, the customer is almost NEVER right and that if she wouldn't clean up the mess, she would have to leave the store and would never be welcome there again. This is among one of the many reasons that he is one of my favorite people in the world. He was not a manager (I believe he just worked in the floral department) but he is able to say things to people that I so desperately want to say but I stop myself because I know it's not socially acceptable.

- this article is so true... "Fuck that. When I see some self important asshole verbally degrading a teenaged kid with dead eyes behind a counter, it ruins my day. So, I say some shit. Besides, I feel that if I stay silent, I am almost giving an abuser permission to act like a raging asshole. Ignoring their behavior suggests to them on some sick level that what theyâ€re doing is Ok."

- I wish there were more people out there like the author of this piece.

- A depressingly necessary commentary. While it certainly doesn't accurately portray the behaviour of every customer on the planet, personal responsibility and general respect have become endangered species.

- Entertaining and funny blog on the bad manners of some customers in the US. I have come across some rude, unfriendly staff in the UK, so it does go both ways. Saying that, I do think managers should stand up for their staff, even if it means loosing trade. In the long run more people will prefer to frequent a place that respects its staff and customers by throwing out the arsholes.

- In my experience the typical customer is very courteous. Still, this blogger is my hero. :)

- Awesome! The closest i've ever been ballsy enough to get to this point was telling my friend that the guy in line in front of me was an asshole. he looked back when i said that so i know he heard me - but still i wish i had said it to his face. i couldn't stop thinking of it for the next 2 hours cuz it pissed me off so much. i've also listened to plenty of waiters/waitresses complain about other tables and how rude they are. i try to help by making a comment about the tables and giving them the chance to vent if they need to. My only problem with the article is the respect issue. i've never heard of earning the respect of a teenager with black nail polish, but i have heard it from plenty of parents / business owners.
