    We don't fucking put up with that shit here in Canada, especially not on the east coast. If someone is being a prick and abusing your employees they get fucked up.

    We've pretty much decided as a country to treat adults that haven't moved past the toddler stage as precious snowflakes that should be given free shit to shut them up rather than hounding them as a society, with results like that lovely poster in here who is proud that so many companies have written her off as a hellion to be given free shit so she'll shut the fuck up for once.

    Hint: it's not something to be proud of. I'd be embarrassed to be known to so many companies as "that screaming bitch, give her free stuff so she shuts up".

    It's not even about how much you can get out of the incident. It's about understanding that you're dealing with people and that basic human decency is a thing.

    Antisocial personality disorder is defined by a pervasive and persistent disregard for morals, social norms, and the rights and feeling of others. Individuals with this personality disorder will typically have no compunction in exploiting others in harmful ways for their own gain or pleasure, and can be manipulative and deceitful towards other people, achieving this through wit and a facade of superficial charm, or through intimidation and violence. They may display arrogance and think lowly and negatively of others, and lack remorse for their harmful actions. Irresponsibility is a core characteristic of this disorder: they can have significant difficulties in maintaining stable employment as well as fulfilling their social and financial obligations, and people with this disorder often lead exploitative, unlawful, or parasitic lifestyles.

    When that happens here they are told to leave and if they don't the RCMP shows up and they get taken away. I personally know one of the managers and he has denied whole families service because of how they treated his employees and several occasions where he had to physically remove them because they were threatening his workers.

    That only happens if they get physically violent here. Verbal abuse doesn't count as abuse.

    The hilarious thing though is people like that think they "win" because they get free stuff and "that person who dared slight me is punished!". They get free stuff to shut them up, then the employee generally gets praised for handling it so well and not beating the utter shit out of someone calling them a racist cunt for not giving them a 50% discount when asked.

    But I don't work in customer service or anywhere. I'm a university student and my free time is spent doing research with faculty. As far as getting fired goes, I've never been fired and my last boss would have barred you from the store the moment you started screaming because for all his flaws, he at least understood the principle of a customer whose business costs more than it's worth.
    LOL! Now I have no doubt. First of all, I would never scream in a store. I save that for the corporate offices.

    And obviously as you stated you had a "last boss", obviously worked in customer service, and are no longer employed, it begs the question of, why not?

    I worked the entire time I was in college, well mostly. I did volunteer myslelf for a layoff, to collect unemployment, for a little while, but could only go just so long without a decent amount of money before returning to work.

    There's an old saying, "me thinks thou doth protest too much", and You're taking this far too personally to believe there isn't a reason behind all this. So what really happened?

    Ya well if someone threatens you with physical violence here to your face especially in a place of business the owners are within their right to remove them, not like beat the shit out of them but they can get physical if they feel it needs to be done, not everyone here is sue crazy nor would it matter because there is a statute of limitations preventing anyone from getting more than like 50k from a business and much less from a person.

    Yeah, only if they actually swing at you can you do anything here.

    And in retail, if you swing back they're suing the store for harming them - you cannot touch a customer even in self-defense. It's fun times. It's also why the bitches moan and whine about the service they get as if their behavior isn't exactly why our retail service is so low.

But then again, you'll probably complain to MMOC's mods and work your way up through Curse's ownership until they give you a free computer or something.
    Well, personal insults are a violation of the rules of this board, so course I report them. Not that I expect to get very far with doing so here. Again, it is important to know when it is worth complaining, and when it is not.

    And I am not at all dishonest. Your opinion is nothing more than your opinion, and I have to respect someone before I care about their opinion.

    Regardless of how fast or slow that sales clerk was, they had no right to behave the way they did.

    You know, the clerk didn't even lose her job, which I know because my husband had to go back there for work a couple months later, and she apologized to him for her behavior.

    My husband's tirades saved us over $14,000, and that was just our share of the bill, after the amount our insurance paid. yes, we probably could have sued and gotten more, but really didn't want to.

    Property taxes? Over $20,000, and that's per year, each and every year. Of course the first time, I had to take the assessor in front of the board, and made very sure I spent the entire day arguing my case. Now when I call, he just asks me what will make me happy. I don't think either he, or the real estate board, want to waste another 8 hours on me.

    Squeaky wheels get the grease, and the louder they squeak, the more grease they receive.

    And getting satisfaction with money, is a whole lot better than going to jail for beating someone up.
    $ 20,000 a year seems a lot for property tax. In CA that would be what I would pay for a $ 2,000,000 house/property. Although CA is almost at the bottom when it comes to property tax.

    I worked in retail for like 7 years, if someone was pissed and I was not able to make them happy I would just go out back and do inventory until they left.

    Of course Not sure if a personality disorder diagnosis is appropriate via the internet, though. For various reasons.

    I'm a landlord and own more than 1 property, but yes, our property taxes here are outrageous.

    Worse, speaking up against them seems to get YOU labeled an asshole for some reason. Especially if you're an employee.

    Ex: A while back I was at a Publix and the lady in front of me brought in a whole goddamned grip of fucking duplicate coupons. Literally a stack of, "$5 Off Your Next Purchase" coupons.

    Not only did the coupons say, "Limit one per visit" but they were also expired! But the bitch had just made copies of them and wanted her whole order for free and just kept raising hell and raising hell until a manger came and just let her go with a cart of free stuff.

    So I'm next in line and the cashier apologizes to me and comments that she thought that was unreasonable, and the manager overhears her and starts giving her shit about it until I commented that - as the customer - I felt she did nothing wrong and that she was just apologizing to me.

    Fuckin' hell, man. I hate to admit it, but this world has taught me that being the asshole in any given equation might make people not like you, but it also lets you get your way constantly, and at the end of the day that might just be all that matters.
    Oh, I'm aware. And when I was a manager I just stared at them until they left, and when they persisted my managers got to ring them up themselves, while being pointedly told AND forcing them to admit how against the policy it was. Fuck managers throwing their workers beneath the bus - everyone participating in that was going to see how toddler-level that shit was. Did they think I was an asshole? Probably. Did I get in trouble? NOPE. I followed policy, and they could go fuck themselves.

    That free stuff they're getting is usually also not worth much in the long run. Less than the court settlements, anyway, which the entitled little shits take them to (and generally either lose or settle because no one wants the publicity). And the morons end up spending more in legal fees than they get, so I don't feel bad for them at all.
