Ha .. good idea1 -
I wouldn't get involved unless it turned violent. I've seen how bad people can treat other people. it sad to see but I would usually just phone the cops but not if it was in the store0
-
Anyone else work in hotels/hospitality? This happens all the time. Its crazy!1
-
Nope, and I wouldn't recommend any interactions with an agitated a-*h*le, unless you are trained to do that. I'd call security and a supervisor.0

Yeahhhh....I can't help myself. I'm going to get myself punched in the face at some point, I'm sure. The latest was a lady at Walgreens who kept yelling and calling the pharmacist, "A Chinese looking b*&ch." I put her in her place and then helped her find whatever it was she was looking for that the pharmacist couldn't help her with right that second. Because apparently I'm a benevolent vigilante. (I know. I'm currently rolling my eyes at myself too). I'm not saying it's always the right thing to do, but I just get so flummoxed by people who get so worked up by things that I deem inconsequential that I have to intervene.4

I wouldn't of approached the situation but maybe find a manager. Idk people are really self serving *kitten*0
-
Not sure I would have done anything either besides enjoy the show and let the situation work itself out. I'd probably just have watched to make sure things don't get violent. I definitely don't want to be the kind of person that stands there, recording on my phone, like some doof.0
-
I would have walked right up to where it was all going on to record it up close. Probably would have been a snarky butt hole to them on top of it & said don't mind me, I'm just recording so I can show the rest of the world how *kitten* stupid you two look.
Yep, I don't mind screwing with someone's head when they are being a jack*kitten* for no reason at all to someone that doesn't deserve it.2 -

when i was working at the register at walmart before- this one lady screamed at me for like 5 mins because we didn't keep the propane tanks up by the registers
what if she was right?
If you're yelling at someone who works for the store and has nothing to do with propane tank placement then there is something not right with you and you are sure as hell not in the right. If you get your panties twisted over propane tank placement enough to scream in someones face then you got bigger problems.....I'm talking mental ones.
No. I'm pretty sure she was completely right in screaming at him for at least five minutes.
As a Walmart cashier he should have been more vocal to the management in affecting the propane placement closer to the check-out line.
Propane is important and it's placement should be of the highest priority in any retail setting. (I can't believe that i need to explain this.)
He was screamed at for only five minutes; any reasonable person would conclude that he got off easy.6 -

I have been on the receiving end of that scenario as a manager of a sams club a lady wanted mee to refund the money on some bar stools because she changed her style
they were purchased three years prior----she used them for three freaking years and then was demanding a refund
people don't shock me anymore2 -
If I was the employee being screamed at, accused and being called the B and C word, I would have remained silent, impassive, locked the register and walked myself quickly right into a safe space - like the employee break room or a locked employee bathroom.
And I would have let the general manager of the store handle it. Since with all the yelling and profanity and accusations, supervisors and upper management were well aware of what was happening. Where were they I wonder?
Front line retail employees should just flat out refuse to be put in positions like this. They get paid less than a living wage anyway so why bother? If the store doesn't have a security department or an outsourced security guard(s) on the floor ready for situations like this, the employee is better off walking right out the door and quitting. Another minimum wage retail job in a safer environment with a security staff at the ready is probably waiting right around the corner.
Whenever you are dealing with people, a situation like that will happen. Regularly.
We can't be quitting all the time because of having to deal with an unpleasant, mean or insane person. But, workplace safety is still a big issue in many places, that should addressed0 -
I think I would have made a loud remark about feeling bad for themselves... Loud enough for them to hear.. and then stood there like a nothing... I hate when people feel like they are being oppressed because they aren't getting their way.0

I see what you did there

No... for myself these things are never my fight or burden to carry.
Isn't there some sort of training involved for handling irate customers, an eject button maybe? :laugh:
Be my luck I would intervene and these people are waiting outside to kick my *kitten*. I could see this happening outside Walmart or a Dollar General... Don't have time for none of that.0
