Should I call the manager?

They make more than minimum wage and there are a million non-college educated military wives working at WalMart who would love that position. Jobs are scarce here.

 

starbucks starts at 9.25/hr, not minimum wage, yes, wage slave.

 

lol..for me, I react and then its over. I got it out of my system. Or at least that is how it was back in the day when I was hypersensitive.

Now I just ask myself what I can learn about myself in the situation. But that's just me...and drives me crazy but gives me insights. Can't pick a scab off a wound when there is no longer a wound there.

 

Shit, I know for a fact that the Starbucks here starts out at the bare minimum.

 

I live 50 miles from her.

 

no. maybe if she were like 18 or 19 and just clueless...but she was my age and you could tell she knew what she was doing.
I got a lot of accidental back handed compliments about my hair today because it is so differet, but I could tell they were accidental.
I shouldn't have to deal with this woman's emotional outpouring of reverse body dysmorphic disorder.

 

Maybe you should visit her and tell her that she's fat, if only to see the reaction.

 

It cracks me the fuck up that Pavel's taking such offense. Calling the manager won't do shit anyway. I have NEVER seen anyone get fired over a customer complaint, at my job or anywhere else. If a customer complaining is the last straw, maybe the bitch sucks at her job and needs to be let go. I really wish I could talk to customers like that at my job, but I can't, and I can't see any other place where that would be considered appropriate. And the "bad economy and lack of jobs" argument is bullshit because yeah, there's a billion other people who'd actually give a shit enough about their jobs to keep their damned comments to themselves just lining up for the job that she obviously doesn't deserve. If you want to work in this world, especially in customer service, you'd sure as hell better have the ability to hold your tongue or expect to be on your ass.

 

The manager needs to know. She works a lot and that store is like her baby (she got promoted from the store inside the grocery store in Fallon ((the previous town we lived in)) and has been working for them for 10 years).
If someone I was supervising and could effect my qualitiy of work was behaving lkike this I would want to know.
Everyone needs to work hard and follow boundaries for this world to work and things to get back on track. and I know they are always getting applications.

 

Calling the manager would do a lot of shit in an uppity yuppie area of town.

The Starbucks girls didn't even really insult her.

But she has to go and be a complete bitch about it.

It's a matter of principle.

 

I can see where you're coming from, Pavel, but maybe Bella should express that she took offense and doesn't want any drastic punishments to come down on the girl, just a warning. Maybe the girl doesn't know that people find shit like that offensive and it really is behavior that should be at least brought to attention. If Bella puts the story to the manager as she told us, I don't see why the manager would fire her anyway.

 

We think alike.

 

Or maybe Bella should just suck it up and not get offended so easily.

 

Our town's not yuppy. It's lower-middle class and there are A LOT of people here that would love and appreciate that job and the people they worked with.

 

That's what I am thinking. I am just going to casually mention it to the manager. The woman that complimented me on my hair was the shift supervisor and she rolled her eyes when the new chic said the thing about being pale...so maybe it's already been handeled.

 

...and who are you to actively control the job market?

 

I personally would never and have never called a manager about anything...unless I was verbally abused in the worst way, or ripped off.

This woman is a laughing matter and not worth taking any action over.

 

can someone please explain to me how what she said was insulting..? I thought being pale was a good thing, maybe she isn't aware of her size and sees herself differently and was happy to see that this banana republic or whatever it is doesn't carry itty-bitty sizes... You took what she said as an insult, she probably wasn't even trying to insult you.. I don't know I guess I am just different and would never want to be responsible for someone either losing their job or getting in trouble for something I might have taken the wrong way I suppose...

 

It just really irks me that I go out and bust my ass and earn every dollar I make, working a shitty job that I sort of hate because there aren't any openings anywhere else because every place is full of lazy ass good for nothing employees who are just bodies to waste air and space for their companies. It pisses me off that there are SO MANY of us who will bend over backwards to make sure a customer is taken care of (within reason, of course), but it's so hard to find jobs because all the places are filled with lazy people who think money should be handed to them. I'm sick of having to do twice the work so that some fuck off can get a paycheck.

 

yeah, complaining will just let her know that she got to you, which is what she wants.

don't give that fucking bitch the time of day. you're so much better than that...
