Rude people that work for the public? You ever run into a rude person?

Iv only had this happen to me once, but it wasnt a big deal since I am a calm person. I was one of the nicest cashiers when I worked at kroger, but that just led to many customers to take advantage of me. It bothered me but I kept my generosity with all customers. My thing is to just let it go when people are rude because I have beter things to do in life then to try to fight. As far as your situation goes, that store will lose and mite have lost buisness because of her.

I've run into a lot of people like her. Whenever I encounter people like her I really ask them "Is there any problem?" And if I they continue to be like that, I really tell them that they should not take jobs that involves talking to people and that they should be polite and attentive to the customers needs if they really want that job.

Hi. free_man. Don't even begin to talk about rude people! I have had my fair share of these type of people just about every time that I am in public somewhere. My youngest daughter was throwing a temper tantrum at church and the lady that was over the clothing, told me that I need to beat my daughter. And then when we was outside and my daughter was whining, the teacher told me that is why she needs to be into school! The nerve of these two women! I don't like it when someone opens up their mouth to tell me something that I should know already! I knew a lady that works on the medicaid floor at DSS. And when I went to get a ticket/number to be seen. I was standing up front waiting at her booth. She told me in a smart aleck way that I need to take a number in order to be seen on that day. She did not want anyone to stand up, to even ask her one simple quick question. She wore make up and fancy clothing. She acted like she was the life of the party when she was not! She made me feel so inferior to her. And one time I was in court and the judge was a woman. She told me not to lean on her desk. I did not realize that I was doing this. I was very apologetic then. I did not mean to lean on her desk, it just happened without me realizing that I was doing so. I felt so ashamed and stupid! I know that her job is to be a judge, but she does not have to be so fierce with me either! Rude People. Ughhhh!!

These types of situations drive me nuts!! I can't always be silent when people are just down right rude. There is certainly no cause for it. They need to get a job taking care of post office boxes or something that doesn't require interaction with other people!

I don't blame you, I would have called the manager as well. In the past, I've held many customer service jobs, from fast-food to selling real estate. I was always told that the customer is always right, and never to be rude to them. True, that woman should not be working in that type of job if she has that attitude. I've run into so many rude 'public servants' it amazes me. Either I've ignored them, try to kill them with kindness by smiling at them and being overly nice, or I would throw a sarcastic comment to their face. One nasty cashier got me so aggravated that I yelled out "Look, just because you didn't get anything from your boyfriend last night, don't take it out on me!" (which caused people behind me to burst out laughing and embarrassed the cashier, LOL). I'm sorry that this happened to you though, let's hope that karma turns on her and she gets back the rude service that she gives to people! ~~ Jeanne

My first thought was maybe she is just having a bad day, but if she acts like this all the time then she just simply does not need to be working with the public. I can not stand people like this, they make me not want to go to their store. I really think it was good you contacted the manager because the manager might not even know she acts this way. It is not our fault she has a crappy job that she does not want to work at. She does not need to act like that towards anyone and I just hope that she learns she can not act like that towards people. You mentioned the way you looked and the way she looked, well I think that is completely irrelevant. It does not matter if you look like you just stepped out of the forest and she is a model, last night I checked we are all human. We are all beautiful in our own ways right? Maybe something bad is happening in her life, maybe she is going through I really tough time, in that case I will pray it gets better. But she needs to learn she can not treat people like that. You have to remember to smile, that everyone is not like her. Hopefully a super nice person will come along and show her it makes life better just to get the best out of situations.

I can't think of any instances in particular but I've seen rude employees before. It just amazes me that they can get away with being so rude. If I came up against one I would definitely talk with the manager. I think you did the right thing by reporting her to the manager. What did the manager say? I guess I would wonder if the manager was the same way that the employee thought it was okay to act like that.

I really don't think your appearance had anything to do with this at all. It seems like this woman is just more interested in other things besides doing her work. Your post reminded me of this incident my sister and I had when we were at Wal-Mart a while back. We were waiting for this cashier girl to ring up our order but she was too busy talking to her coworker and totally ignored us. She even glanced at us but went right back to her chat. My sister and I couldn't believe her attitude. We didn't move to a different lane because we wanted to see how things played out. After a bit another coworker came up to her and told her that she had people waiting in her line. Her answer was "So?" and she continued to ignore us. The other lady gave her this stern glare and she finally rang up our purchase even though she was really grumpy and a bit rude about it. The funny thing was after that my sister basically told her off in front of everyone who bothered to listen. I think the message was more effective because she wasn't ranting or screaming at her but being really polite. We then left the really red faced girl (don't know if it was from anger or being embarrassed for the public dressing down).

Firstly, let me say how sorry I am at the way you were treated. Shopkeepers, in general, have become more rude over time and it's not limited to the young. In fact, it's middle aged shopkeepers that are the worsed, in my opinion. At Christmas-time a woman commented on a male customer who "smelled" in front of me in the queue and proceeded to spray air freshener and slag the him off after he'd gone. I didn't say anything but I have boycotted the store. I should've said, "it doesn't matter who he is or what he looks like, please have some respect. You're quick enough to take his money aren't you?" I was so disgusted by this woman who I'd never seen before so I presume she was the manager of the shop..full of cr*p imported from China.

I happened to stay back in my office on this fateful day, suddenly a man entered into my office with his wife and two daughters. I received him very politely and offered them chairs to sit. I asked him what he wanted, he told me and acted on behalf of my manager - the head of our establishment. This man could hold his joy, he narrated how he was turned back at the corridors of our Group Managing Director by one of our Secretaries with his awful and dreaded looks. The Secretary couldn't even answer his greetings. After I pled with this man to forget everything, he offered me a complement card to come to his office, behold, this man was the State Government's Arttorney General and Commissioner of Justice. Rude people abound everywhere.
