Going postal at Christmas...

[Blue_Frog]

Ooo... queue hoppers always make me mad too!

When I was still working retail, i remember it being around this time of year and we had a line up at the till - and some woman cut the line to the front. Everyone grumbled, but no one really said anything about it. I finished the customer i was helping, and said "next customer please" -- so the woman came to the front and put down her things. I said "I'm sorry, you're not next, this other lady is" (indicating the the person who got cut in on) "you'll have to join the line like the rest of the people here"

Well didn't she raise a stink! I took the next customer around her, and the next, all the while her raising heck about the level of service in the store, and what a b#$%^ I was, etc. etc., and eventually she left her items and left the store without purchasing them. Everyone else was pretty happy with the fact that she didn't get her way.

Well done!!

Our postal workers seem to be in very good spirits most of the time, and they will tell someone that they will need to wait their turn. I sure appreciate that. People in line can grumble all they want, but if the "line cutter" really doesn't care that they are making people upset, they will understand when they worker tells them they have done wrong. I, too, get upset with people who pretend not to understand English. That is simply no excuse to break the rules!

Ahhhh, the Holiday season..... I am doing my best to be merry as I scurry about doing my shopping. It will be better next week when I am making deliveries!

You should have put a stamp on her forhead & shipped her home.

But that wouldn't be right I guess. Not sure what I would have done had that happened to me. I try to practice extra patience around the holiday's because I'm sure somebody's going to eventually do somthing to really pi$$ me off.
