I hate that saying, "The customer is always right." It has destroyed the entire concept of curtesy and rendered manners obsolete. It gives people the green light to act any way they please because they think they are going to get what they want, when they want it. They think they can treat service people any way they want and it disgusts and infuriates me.
With that being said, I'll explain what made me angry today. In a few posts I have mentioned that I am having issues with my lower right calf. My clusmy self ran into a register counter at work and I accidentally cut myself. I had to have minor surgery on it to remove some metal bits and dirt and fight the infection. It was fine for a while but the past few days, it's been hurting and swelling again. I went back to the doctor and apparently it got infected again. This time, I had major surgery and the doctor found two more pieces of metal deeper in the calf. We are sure it's all out and that I'm going to recover. Thankfully, my job is paying for my medical bills and I'm getting paid vacation since I can't return to work yet.
I went up to my job to sign some papers so they can pay my latest surgery bills. I'm in my cut off lounge pants and a tank top on crutches with my leg all wrapped in bandages. I'm halfway to the office near the registers when a semi-regular stops me and asks where the laundry detergent is located. I tell her the aisle number and continue towards the office when she snorts and says, "It's poor service to not show me where it is located. I guess corporate will have to hear about this.
I may have snapped, but I am so sick of people like her. I wasn't on the clock.....so...... I simply said....."Lady, I'm not in a uniform and I'm on crutches with my leg bandaged. I was nice enough to tell you what aisle you can find it on. The only thing corporate will be hearing is how stupid you are for harassing their injured worker.
