In reply to the discussion: Today I went to the deli department of a supermarket that I frequent. [View all]OMGWTF
(5,014 posts)107. I may have gotten an old lady clerk at my Safeway fired for saying sh!t like your deli clerk
Four + years ago, I was getting groceries, and the checkout clerk was going on and on about the Covid vaccine and how no one should get it (even though her store was selling the shots). I told her that I wanted to see my grandchildren grow up, so I was happy to get the vaccine. She continued on with her screed to the person behind me. Recall, back then we were using coffee filters for TP and refrigerator trucks for morgues. I wrote a letter to the store manager complaining about her behavior and suggesting that she also avoid discussing religion or politics and to just stick to the fking weather. The next time I went to the store she was gone and hasn't been back. Buh-bye biotch!

You purposely give service workers a difficult time and refer to them as having "little minds"?

Contact the employer and file a complaint. That sort of thing is absolutely inappropriate.
