I’m very good
at saving face and having pride.
In my line of
work, in the shop I mean, I get a lot of people who think that they’re better
than me. My roommate and I have the discussion all the time of what makes
people behave the way they do, but for some reason when they walk into my shop,
I am instantly dirt to them.
I had a man
come in with his kids once and order from my shop. As I was ringing them up I
had to duck under the counter to grab a bag. I heard the man say to his kids
“This is why you go to college. So you can get a real job.”
I popped up
and said “I have a master’s degree and
two bachelors. This is a real job.”
I hope his
kids stick him in a third rate retirement home.
I’ve got a
lot of come backs and snippy remarks, but honestly I shouldn’t have to use
them. It doesn’t matter if I work in an ice cream shop or a drive thru. I
deserve the same amount of respect that you give everyone else. You aren’t better than me, in fact, you
never will be. And each time you’re rude to a person in customer service,
you’re proving that you are in fact the lesser man.
Suck on that.
Challenge to
my Readers:
Be respectful
towards others or they might be forced to put you in your place.
