How? If a cashier at the grocery was rude would you call their manager?

That depends on how rude they were and the context/content of their rudeness...

It's possible for anyone to have a bad day. Cashiers are human-beings first, cashiers second...


There may have been a time when I would shrug it off or even be rude in return. These days, I'd ask them "what's wrong" or "are you OK." I'd even try to engage with them on that and, if rebuffed, I'd let them know anyone can have a bad day and move along.

I've done it. No, it doesn't always yield positive results. But, at least there's a chance of positive results occurring rather than the certainty of continuing "rudeness." :)

Depends if it's even worth it or not.

Honestly some people are just having a bad day.

I feel like 99% of these types of issues could be resolved by simply communicating like a human being.

But people would rather get worked up over perceived slights in their heads.

Only angry mums call the manager

Well you have the right to be rude, if you want. I wouldn't do anything about it, but that's just all the more reason not to be rude to me. I ain't the one who pissed you off, I want you to have a good day.

The people who deserve a REAL ass-kicking, you probably shouldn't treat as anything other than entitled little princesses, because they're the bastards who'll consume your soul if so much as breathe wrong.

In-other-words, slap the other cheek while you're at it. It won't make you feel better.

No, that's what a Karen does. Depending on the situation and how rude they are being, you can try talking to them, roasting them, ignoring them, or if they won't stop, talk to the customer service

agreed

karen or kyle behavior

just get your stuff and get out
only get / bother the manager if they try to screw you out of money or tamper with your groceries

other than that just keep walking don't even bother

Either:

1. suck-it-up buttercup
   
2. complain with no solution
   
3. find greener pastures

nahhh, I'd just show them my flame thrower, and ask them if they really want a heated dispute.

[Sniper Queen]

i would walk away and leave them a bad review

It depends on if there are witnesses or CCTV close by.

I ignore it. You'd be amazed at how effective that can be with some people. I did that exact same thing to someone who was being an ass just yesterday.

You want to talk down to me in real life you'll find you are talking to someone who won't waste a second of my time on you.

No; I would simply shop somewhere else for 3 to 5 years.

After 3 to 5 years then I would occasionally shop there again but if that person still worked there I would turn around and walk out the store every time I saw that person working.

I have had this happen 2 times before and last boycott lasted just over 5 years.

That cashier is now assist manager but luckily seldom works after 4 PM. This way I can avoid this person.

nope because if the cashier was rude to you then you probably deserved it.
