    Default Uhm, what did you just say?

    K, sober now, and wide awake, so I HAVE to tell you all this story.

    I took my kiddo to get some new GameBoy games today. He takes about 30 mintues to look through all the games, changing his mind over and over, and basically being a pain in MY butt. But this girl at the game store, the whole time she kept giving us dirty looks!

    It's not like she had to do anything, the case was sealed, he was looking through the glass and he was being very polite about it actually, getting out of the way when other people wanted to look too.

    Anyway, he makes his descision, and says to the girl "excuse me, can you open this for me?" So she gives this look like "ugh, I have to get up now?" and comes over to the case, opens it and walks away! Then my kiddo says (still being polite) "Excuse me, can I have these two games?" She comes back, and pulls them out, rings us up and we leave.
    Well, I was sort of flustered with her attitude and I jsut wanted to get out of the store after waiting forever for him to pick his games, that I never even paid attention to the fact that the charge amount didn't add up to what the sticker price was. And when we got home he popped the games in and one of them didn't even work! So...Right back we go.

    I didn't see the girl there but I talked to a guy at the counter and said "Hi, we were jsut here and bought these two games, I think I was over charged on this one, and the other one doesn't work. Can we fix that and exchange the broken one?"

    The guy says sure, go pick one out of the case, he's going to get the girl who rang us up.

    Then I hear this. "Whatever! The sticker on the back has the correct price and that's the one I rang up, tell the cow and her brat that's the correct price!"

    Nope. I don't fckng think so. So she comes out of the back and shoots me this half smile, half sneer. I march up to her and say this:
    "Hey. Yah, I could hear you. The whole thing. Yes. And I just want you to know I understand. I understand that you are cooped up in this box all day long working for 8 something an hour. I understand that you're not happy with your own appearance or are suffereing from some sort of self esteem issue. I get it. And I even understand that my cheery presence forces you to smile when you want to be pissed and that might drive you crazy. Sure. But don't you call my kid a brat, or so help me I will get your ass fired in a heart beat. Could you ring us up now please?"

    AHHHHH! I felt like I was that one scene out of Pretty Woman! Hehehehe. We leave and my kiddo says "mom, were you mean to her?" Nope, I don't think so hun, I was just honest.

    The other clerk, the guy, did apologize and took 10% off the second game my kiddo picked out. But the look of total shock on that wench's face was worth it.

    Oh hell no. I would have demanded to speak with the manager, and demanded both games were free or something. I HATE bad customer service, that would have pissed me off to startwith. But then the comments?? Oh no. I would have gotten her ass fired.

    You rock. That was nicely executed

    And did you go to GameStop? I used to work at a gamestop a year ago.

    Go EE! I get that it sucks to work for minimum wage in a place like that. I've done it before many many times. But there's no reason for that chick to be a jerk to you and your (very polite sounding) little son.

    I have had this happen with my son too. He has ADHD and the doctor recommened to get him games. It helps him to focus and hand and eye cordanation. Yes, it takes him quite a while to pick out what he wants, but he is very polite to the person. I have went off about the customer service before.

    I would still report her. In fact, I would walk back into the store and do it while she is there.

    So what if she gets fired? That was totally uncalled for...and you know, for every person who actually logs a complaint...there are at least 50-100 more who've experienced about the same thing, not said anything, and just never come back.

    I would have complained to the manager as well. I don't expect clerks to be sugary sweet, but I expect them to be decent human beings to me. Like the clerk who gave me a talking to because I wouldn't flirt with him. Unfortunately, he didn't get fired...

    Yah, it was GameStop. Usually poeple there are pretty nice and or helpful. And for split second I thought about pitching a fit and logging a complaint. But honestly, it wasn't worth it that way. She would have left there thinking "Dumb bitch got me fired" or something like that. Not "Geez, I guess I should have been nicer."

    So, personal satisfaction, which one is better knowing I got this kid fired during the holidays and she thinks I'm a bitch? Or telling exactly how I feel about her behaviour in front of her peers and knowing she'll think about it the next time she walks in the door and a co-workers says "Hey, remember when that lady ripped you a new one?"



    I'm satisfied, and really, that's all that matters.

    i like the way you handled it. I personally would have torn her a new asshole in a much much meaner way, there have been times where a salesperson has pissed me off and my language has made sailors blush.
    I can forgive bad customer service(ok no I cant) but to insult my kids, or wife, within my hearing range is thermonuclear meltdown time for me.

    Go EE! Whatever witnesses were there will never let her forget it. If it got back to her manager, as it well may have, she probably got written up or at least chewed out for it too.

    I think you handled that pretty well all things concerned. You were polite and still bitchy and that takes some work to do sometimes!

    Hell yeah!! Glad you tore her a new one!

    That reminds me of the time I drove through an El Pollo Loco to order a milkshake and 4 plates and 4 forks (we had KFC too) and the bitch at the drivethru lectured me. I waited til she went off to make the milkshake and drove away.

    I like the way you handled that, EE. I've had situations like this where I'll essentially do what you did and then write a letter, very calm, to the management of the place describing what happened and asking whether this is the way they want their company represented. Usually that gets a healthy reaction. What makes me angry in particular is the way she acted to and spoke about your boy: I think it is good he saw your reaction, because he will remember that you defended him.

    I think you did great here.

    Hahaha! I'm just not sure how to take that! Is it because I am abnormally tall and big chested? Or because I'm a princess?

    Hehehehe!

    I had a guy ahead of me at one of those Quick Check places cursing up a storm at the guy behind the counter, I had G with me who was about 6 or 7 at the time. I asked him nicely, to try to refrain from the cursing because my kid is standing here. His response was "fuck your kid" Well, my mommy bear instinct took over and when I was through with him he apologized and ran out of there with his tail between his legs.

    Good for you putting her in her place. You cross the line when you bring our kids into it!

    Go you! I'd call the head manager and get her ass fired on top of it! You don't want to have to see that bitch again when you go back.

    Nah, I don't mind. I'll just smile really big and ask her how her day is going when I see her.

    It cracks me up how grumpy people get so pissed off at happy people.
