Today (10/15, 11:45 - 11:47), I stopped by for a btl of water. It cost $2.17 (below the $3 min)…read more Understandable.
I told that angry female at the register, its ok & *politely* thanked her, despite her (unwarranted) hostile feelings toward me prior to this visit.
Partly because its my nature to be polite, but also to invalidate her hate. Shes just a stranger; a literal NO body... as I *should* be to her since weve never had conflict from my end prior (im in the industry. So I get it. But also, I DONT KNOW THIS LADY!)
I debated putting the btl back in the cooler myself but when she angrily snapped & said, "Ill put it back!" (Mind you.. I. Didnt. Ask.) Kindness was out of the question for me.
However, after that, I *did* ask, if that was a problem since she clearly wanted me to know that it was... or she wouldve just let me leave in peace & walk out the door.
Her reply? "Ill put it back!" (Again. I. Didnt. Freaking. Ask ) and that strong, consistent hate bias tells me ALL I need to know about *you* hon. Confidence doesn't behave like this. Thats *bitterness*.
all she had to do was walk 15 - 20 ft & take ONE btl of Dasani back to the cooler. Thats sheer laziness..
Because of her ongoing *disrespect* towards me, I finally reminded her that it IS in fact *her* job to put it back ( i know im not on the payroll. You want respect?! Dont be disrespectful)
And then... AND THEN.. when i finally had enough, she argues & tells me it NOT her job to put it back. I worked at multiple gas stations.. it IS her job LOLOLOL
Bless her heart.. she didnt scare me away like she hoped. Im close enough to 40 & it kinda seems she took me for someone naiive & succeptible to manipulative behavior.
Imma keep going there at my convenience. The only thing she succeeded was looking a FOOL to me! The end
