It just bugs me; especially since the time I usually encounter it is at work and I'm unable to do anything about it. -.- Like people who deliberately walk right at you, usually when you're weighed down with heavy bags or pushing a heavy trolley, forcing you to crush against the wall or dig your heels into the floor in order to avoid barging into them. Or people who say in a snotty tone of voice, when you're making an important phone call (such as today, when there was a considerable petrol spill that had to be reported to the duty manager AT ONCE) "I thought that the customer in front of you was the most important?" It's like they're hoping you'll snap back at them and give them an excuse to complain.

"Oh wow, I can't believe how stupid I used to be and you still are." -
That's exactly what they're doing. It's a passive way of getting you in trouble without them having too make much effort. I'm fully convinced we deal with this so much at work simply because there are so many people out there who look down on retail workers, but don't quite have the balls to admit it. So instead they make snide comments and act like they're better than us because we work retail and they don't. Whereas if they were to cause a scene, then in their minds they will look as low as they believe we are. So the more subtle they can be, the happier they are. Because that way they look like the cool, calm one, and we look like the blithering idiots (in their mind anyway. but we all know SCs don't think like the rest of us.)Originally posted by Lace Neil Singer View Post
