  • " ok? is that all you have to say???" OK??"

    So I'm on the door checking receipts when this lady comes up but before she gets anywhere near me, this guy cuts in front of her & I check his receipt & off he goes. Then the lady that he cut in front of comes up to me & hands me her receipt. She then says.."I was here first! He cut in front of me! What do you have to say about that?"
    The only thing I could think of to say was "ok". She gave me a nasty look & said..OK?? is that all you have to say, OK????" Then as she was leaving she glared at me & I gave her a nasty look.
    So what else was I supposed to say or do? Store was packed with people cause of the upcoming snow storm & I didn't feel like creating a scene.

      Honestly? "I'm sorry, ma'am, but getting him out of the store seemed preferrable to his staying and causing a scene" probably would have worked a lot better.

      Remember, "I'm sorry" doesn't always mean "I'm sorry I did something wrong"; it can mean "I'm sorry shit happens" too.

        Yeah, really. Did she expect you to call a manager or something? What did she really expect you to say? "Another customer who has already left the store was a bit rude. Should we get the tear gas and police dogs?"

        Oh, I know! You should have followed him BACK to his car before giving him a good talking to.

          When you got people staring at you, saying something like that is hard to articulate.

            totally agree. It's the come-back effect. The perfect thing to say never comes to mind first. It only comes along once the situation is long gone.

            You were in a no win situation. Happens all the time with line jumpers. Get the person cut off screaming at you or the person who did the cutting screaming at you.

            People suck. I hate them.

              After some thought, I might have said "Yeah, he should have been going slower." I am curious now.

                  I have to go with Aisling on this one. WOuld have been polite to at least acknowledge that the previous guy was a douche, even if you did nothing wrong.

                      I think, "do you want me to call the wah-bulance?" wouldn't have made her happy,.

                        Practicing beforehand helps.

                          I think she would have been pissed no matter what you said.

                          Looking back on it though, would you have said something different?

                            Good question. IF I were to have said something different then it wouldn't be pretty...lol.
