Are some people in this world born and made to annoy you? I always ask myself this question on almost a monthly basis, as I cannot take silly and unnecessary attitudes from people. Have you ever wondered why people get minor strokes and get stress disorders? Sometimes, this is mainly due to people not putting their foot down on office bullies, school bullies and villain teachers who just make your heart want to boil.
I may be venting at an episode that may have just occurred, but hey- I have to vent somehow. And, as much as I tend to do the same to people, I choose the right moments and who to blow my fire on- only those most deserving. Another incident that occurred this afternoon was with a sales lady at a leading takeaway outlet, who gave me grief for wanting to swipe 15c from my debit card and give her the R40, 00 cash that was due. I mean really, she could have just called the manager and the manager could have agreed to let me have my takeaway with the 15c short, nonetheless, because I always win my battles, I managed to get what I want.
What I didn’t like though, was the bad attitude and irritated voice while speaking to me about me being unnecessary- one thing she forgot is that I was the customer, and should have been allowed to do as I please- after all, I was paying for my meal. Am I right or am I right? Next time you want to vent your anger, think of the consequences and if the person is deserving of your anger. Just a thought.
The good thing here is that you have voiced your irritation and it will not cause you stress. Some suppliers think that they are doing us a favour by serving us forgeting that we give them business.
ReplyDeleteI get bad service almost every month @ these take away outlets and always try n put myself in that persons shoes, maybe they really dont like their job (thats what i always think), but that doesnt stop me from giving them grief too!
ReplyDeleteYour right Thabo
ReplyDeleteYou were not asking for help you were paying with own money as the customer you have right to choose whatever you want. Its good that you take it up with her/him as they say thina bo dark we accept every sheet we got and keep quiet about. good baba
