Underemployment is a rocket scientist working at 7-11. At least that's what we call it, The USDL may call it something else.
It's been a few years since I worked retail but when I managed coffee shops behaviour like that would be the reason someone got fired. the odds are that her co-workers dislike her already cos of how she treats customers, people like that make a thankless job harder and others will have to work harder cos people won't want to be served by her. My advice is when you can get the manager to one side tell her someone made personal remarks about your aperence and the manager will ask for as much information as she thinks is necessary. As for the women in question if she wants the job she'll work harder at keeping it.
here this should help explain it.. http://globaleconomicanalysis.blogspot.com/2008/11/jobs-contract-10th-straight-month.html
This is a long thread.. you guys must of stayed up all night. When some under paid fuckhead at an establishment is rude to me I go into the bathroom and find a couple of full rolls of toilet paper and drop them in the back of the toilet. It makes me feel better knowing they will have to clean up a couple of big soggy rolls of toilet paper. I live in a collage town with lots of spoiled rich kids that get forced to work for their beer money and act like jerks.
so, if I got it right, its like my situation....where I work part-time but want full-time employment? I was thinking it was people who were overqualified for positions at first....but I think I read it as the above statement. I'm telling you I was so surprised at how many people applied to work for a receptionist/assistant position at a vet. 200 people and that was on Tues/wed....I cannot imagine what it is now.
Yes, call the manager. But just remember, shes passive aggressive and people only say things like she said to you, out of jealousy. And btw, she is completely wrong about the blonde and pale thing.
I say you should have offended her back. see how she likes it. calling a manager isn't the thing to do though. people are rude. all of the time - that's just life. if her customer service skills are that poor anyway - she's not likely to make it very far in her Starbucks career.
I disagree... just let it go. An insult isn't an insult until it's received as such... you're abasing yourself to even dignify the cattiness with any response at all-
I would have been offended by the comment made by the Starbucks employee, however, I don't think I'd contact a manager over it. Just chalk it up as someone who runs their mouth without thinking, blunt, so-to-speak. My mother in law is like that. I remember when I lost the baby weight after having had the twins and my mother in law made the comment after seeing me all done up and sporting my thinner figure, "oh, you finally lost the baby weight! It took long enough, didn't it?" I had to bite my tongue from saying, yes, I had three kids within 3.5 years, two of which were twins...what was your freaking excuse?! And believe me, I have very unflattering pics of her in a bathing suit to prove it. My husband just about raked her over the coals for what she said to me though, and she did end up apologizing, saying she hadn't meant it in a hurtful way. But that's how she is, saying things without thinking how they might sound.
Maybe you should go in their take her picture walk out and then post her picture here in Random thoughts and we can all make fun of it.
