Oh you’re soooo oppressed! Maybe some tears to go along with what you perceive as being a violation of how society should serve you??? |
| I say, "I'm sorry you're having a bad day. Hope it improves." Throws people off guard. And sometimes they react much more kindly. |
No, it isn’t “code” for maintaining “privilege.” It’s about treating people as you would like to be treated. And if you are in a service industry, doing that is literally part of your job. |
So complain to the manager! |
Goes both ways. |
DP. You keep trying to pretend this is about wanting to be treated like a princess. It’s absolutely not. It’s about pro-actively being rude or unhelpful to someone. It’s equally unacceptable for customers to be mean to service people. If you think it’s ok to abuse middle-aged white women and they shouldn’t have any recourse, then you are indeed a racist and misogynist. |
PLease give an example of racist abuse you’ve received in a customer service setting! Racist: characterized by or showing prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism against a person or people on the basis of their membership in a particular racial or ethnic group, typically one that is a minority or marginalized. Abuse: cruel and violent treatment of a person or animal. |
Please stop deflecting. You’re too transparent. We’re talking about whether a middle-aged white woman has any recourse against rude or abusive customer treatment (someone above said she was made to cry), or if she’s just a Karen because (checks notes) she’s a middle-aged white woman. Tl;dr: you’re the racist and misogynist |
There are only white Karens no black Karens? That's news to me. If it's only white woman that's a real problem and racist too. |
In other words, 1) you don’t have an example; 2) you are still conflating rudeness with abuse; 3) you believe you are entitled a “recourse” if someone is rude or mean to you; 4) you are quite sensitive about the Karen label and 5) you’re calling a 40 year old white woman racist against white people. Karen is an insult. It’s not a racist term. There’s a huge difference. |
| A cashier at dollar tree was super rude to me with no provocation. Slamming my stuff down and making a production when I hit the wrong button, muttering curse words. I didn’t say anything — I can’t imagine how miserable her job is. As we walked out my kid commented, and I said it seems like she’s having a rough day. We talked about how both of us have rough days sometimes too. |
Oh, you’re the white “ally” who thinks Karen is just hunky dory (if you are who you say you are). I’ve watched others take on your ridiculousness. Now it’s my turn, yippee. I’m probably more lefty than you, but I won’t stand for racism or misogyny of any type. You’re a racist and misogynist because: - you just posted that middle-aged white women don’t deserve any recourse for bad customer service - you just posted that middle-aged white women who dare to protest bad customer service deserve to be called by an epithet specific to them—Karen. Are you out there telling poc or white men to just accept bad service? Didn’t think so. Or let’s try another way. If a middle-aged black woman protests against bad service, would you be ok calling her a Latasha? I wouldn’t. See how that works? |
Lol you’re ridiculous. Re read and count how many assumptions/fabrications you invented just to support your views. And keep bravely “daring to protest bad customer service.” May you find the justice you seek. |
So no answers. Just insults. Maybe ponder why you have no answers? |
NP. The fact that you are so wound up about what you perceive is someone not giving you the respect you think you deserve shows incredible entitlement. Recourse for someone supposedly being rude to you?? GTFOH! |
