Supposedly, I am racist.

So to make a long story short I am a racist. I was bagging a customers grocery's and bagged her magazine with her eggs. I guess that is a no no because she freaked out. After a few minutes of screaming I said, "would you like to talk to a manager. She said yes, then she went on to call me the "B" word. Oh! Don't worry it gets worse. She then said that she thinks that I am racist, that I hate Asians. I then said, "well, mam my husband is Asian". She got so mad that then she said "f you". I couldn't even believe it. I just broke down. It was so embarrassing. Customers could hear her all the way across the store. She is crazy. I had many customers come over and tell me that they were so sorry I had to deal with that and that they think that I am great. What bothers me is that the managers that were standing there took her to the side and said they would talk to me. Like it was my fault. If I was a manager I would tell her to find another store to shop at. I don't get paid enough to be treated like that.

I'm sorry that happened.... remember that one time you had a stalker, Jared and I came to hang out until you got off work and the kid asked us to hold his bike while he went in to the store and steal a case of beer???? I hope your week gets better! Good luck on your BYU-I App!!!!!!

I gotta say that sucks, but it is kind of funny,only because that has happened to me so many times. It is the business we are in. Costumer service! I would have told her to find another store. Buck does that all the time at his. I am sorry she treated you that way, no one deserves that.

That is an outrage!! Your manager did not handle that very well at all. I'm so sorry that happened to you. You are the nicest person and did not deserve that. What a CRAZY lady!

What a freak-o! So sorry that happened to you. There are some weird, wild, and wacky people in this world and it's inevitable we have run-ins with them here and there in life.
Thanks for sharing your story. One day you'll be able to laugh about it.

Maybe.

Hi Danielle! I agree with the other people who commented on your post, it's awful that you have to put up with people like that! But likr "the big b's" said, it's always like that in Costumer service!

Anyway I just came across your blog and I must say that the little I've read - so far! - is really good! :) I have a few questions though about your cousin who you said studies at Green River College in Seattle? I am planning to apply for next spring so please it would help me a lot to talk to someone who's already there studying now!

Please drop a comment on by blog "www.goldenpearl.blogspot.com" Have a great day! :) /Sofia

Oh that totaly sucks! I'm so sorry you had to go thru that. I remember working at the credit union and having to decline members for loans sometimes, people would take it personally and go off on me and I wasn't even the one that made the decision. Some people are just CRAZY. Your managers should have stood up for you, that wasn't right. Anyway, sounds like you won't be there much longer. Have fun at BYU-I!
