I used to own a diner, and I can agree that the more calm you are while they are ranting, the more upset they become! One 'lady' complained about EVERYTHING about the meal...after she had eaten 3/4 of it. I calmly listened to her and was going to comp part of her meal (against my instinct), and she said loudly "You are just rude!" I asked what she would like me to do, and she replied "You are such an a**hole! I replied to her "What an amazing coincidence..." I didn't comp anything, and her husband paid the tab.
The customers in the booth behind her said that everything was perfect for them. :)

Most of mine involve vertigo attacks.
Once I had a sudden drop attack in a coffee shop. Luckily I'd just put my tray down. Then room flips I fall backwards scattering at least two chairs.
I can barely speak as people rush over. I mumble something about attack. One of the young servers thinks I said "heart attack"! He dashes off to get a defibrillator. I'm just able to speak better as he arrives back. Not helping my stress levels. He then phoned my daughter who was a home to come and get me.

Not a fun shopping experience for you! Last month I was in line behind a woman getting her items rung up. She looked behind me and motioned another woman, I assumed was her grown daughter, to come up with her items. She paid the cashier then the daughter paid for her stuff separately! I was so annoyed and the cashier said that was rude and said she should have stayed at the end of the line!😠

When I moved to Lansing, Michigan, I had never seen a Mennonite before in my life. I was standing in line getting my groceries, and I admit I was staring a little, wondering why this woman and her daughter were both wearing identical ugly brown shoes, and why they were wearing the same skirt. All of a sudden, this perfectly normal looking guy with them, (the husband), with a beard, starts shouting at me from four aisles away, shouting at me that I am dressed indecently. I think my top was cut in a vee neck...Cold Water Creek is usually not indecent...😂.

@ravenwind43 lol. I know how you felt. Any strong wind and my hair looks like it's been through a wind tunnel. And it has some curl and thickness to it and that adds to the awful picture

@WindTherapy I did feel bad for him. The grandchild was young enough and appeared oblivious in the store, but I imagine his life is one of apologies and wishing to be somewhere else.

@ravenwind43 Probably true. The worst part is that children often mimic what they see. Hopefully they have some other role models whom are better equipped to mold them.

@YourMomsSecretCrush Yes! lol. I didn't add to my post that when I was in the car and leaving she was walking down the row of carts looking for quarters!
@ravenwind43 having worked in retail for awhile, sometimes the toughest thing to do is smile and remain calm while some nut rages on you. and i have learned, the longer you stay calm, the madder they get. LOL we had a lady one night rage at one of my coworkers constantly for about 15 minutes, swearing, etc. she stepped over the line and dropped the N bomb and my "former co-worker" pulled off her name badge, quit, and whipped that ladys ass in the parking lot. a person can only take so much.

@YourMomsSecretCrush I usually try to be extra nice to retail people when I can because of the nonsense they up with...🙂

@Fungirlvape To be honest I was concerned for that kid being with those two, mostly her and the erratic behavior.
Fungirlvape · 61-69, F
@ravenwind43 my true thoughts she is doing a lot of damage that will stay with the kid forever.
ravenwind43 · 51-55, F
@Fungirlvape Unfortunately.

@SW-User At one time I might have said something, but I decided to chill. I really do think the vigorous work out put me in a better headspace. :)
