Talk about holding my tongue...

[Randi]

Arghh!! Donna, holding your tongue must have been SO difficult!! I'm not sure I could have, but then, if you want to keep your job ....

Have you thought of anything to do or say the next time she comes in?

[ramanth]

I'm not sure I could of held my tongue...

Well Donna, two days later I came up with a good response. Next time (since it's too late for this time and knowing all the idiots out there, there will be a next time) just say in a nice calm voice "I'm sorry you feel that way. I guess that means the black is for all the poor souls who've been unfortunate enough to have crossed your path." Then calmly ask her to please move on as there are other customer's waiting to be checked out.

Karen,

Sorry for the little "blooper" there. Glad you **** it out.

My whole demeanor changed in a nano-second when she said that. I was polite but did NOT go out of my way to speak to her. There was just nothing to say.

People like that anger me. But after all the years of rude comments I've learned to ignore it.

Tubby and Peanuts mom, what a brilliant response, so clever, that sure would have gobbsmacked this unfortunate so called member of the human race.

Good for you, because I wouldn't be able to hold mine.

[Kiia]

Some people are so ignorant, rude, heartless, mean, evil, shallow, ughhhh

Like some others have said, I don't know if I would have been able to hold my come back to her. I probably would have said something back, very sarcastic.

Well done for keeping yourself in check!! That woman sounds like such a loser - I despise people who are thoughtless with other peoples feelings.

A few days ago our "Drivetime" (afternoon) DJ made a tasteless comment about cats. I wrote a letter to the newpaper (giving my full name - no nom-de-plume - and complained about it, and suggested he make a donation to the shelter by way of apology.

The day after it was printed he actually apologised to me and all animal lovers for his remark (live on air) , and he is sponsoring some participants in our charity dog-walk later this month!

(By the way, every day now he playes a song on his dedications show and says "This is for all the animal lovers out there" - I guess I must have struck a nerve!)

Ally Cat's Mommy,
That is great!! Now if there were more that would change their mines.

Maybe I should let you guys get a hold of my hubby, and show him there are more people out there than he thinks that loves cats. As I have said again and again, he thinks nobody likes cats, and it is unusual to find anybody that does!!

She obviously has no concern for other people's feelings.I think if she felt that way she could just keep her mouth shut.Im glad you know how to hold your tongue-since that woman obviously doesn't.
