My assumption is dude was just fucking with you due to your passive aggressive time checks. I found the best way to handle the late hour shopper is doubling down on customer service (which I know can suck after a long day but it’s still just retail, not construction). You never know, that person could be the difference between an okay day to a great day.

You had me until "white male privilege excuse for a human being."

“White male privilege excuse for a human being” in a rant about uncivil behavior is so Seattle. Sigh.

1: Great points
2 and 3: Such a illiberal thing to say. Sigh indeed.

Yep, he was being an asshole, but your business depends on sales, repeat customers, and having a good reputation. It sounds like you did take care of them and are just venting, so good on you.

@5 I doubt the workers own the business and highly doubt higher revenue from harder work would translate to higher wages
@4 illiberal might be a compliment depending who you're talking to, and I don't mean conservatives

Wholesale landscaping place I use to work at would just turn off the lights and/or blast Closing Time at frightening volume. Perfectly courteous up till closing time though, including courteous warnings of approaching closing time, and a very successful business to boot.

Tell me the place you work, lest I not meet your criteria for service or schedule. I want to avoid disturbing your exit plan.


Please wait...
