[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OK, I think this is the time to tell an anecdote of the last time I was at Chevy.

I grew up going there and was recently home visiting my parents for Christmas  (I live in Los Angeles now)

I went to the bathroom and while in there a group of young girls were milling around, playing with the hairbrushes and kind of joking with each other.  I noticed that one of the girls seemed kind of bossy, but thought nothing of it when I walked up to wash my hands.

The bossy one came up to me and asked how old I was.

Thinking they were sweet little girls, I gave them and a big smile and told them my age, 26.

The girl immediately glared at me and informed me that I dont look 26, I look like a teenager. (This was not intended as a compliment, I can assure you)

This seemed to break some kind of onslaught, and as I dried my hands, one of them shouted at me that she hated my dress.

It was really SO bizarre, and I kind of wanted to say something back, or tell them that they were being completely out of line.  But then I realized that I was genuinely thinking of insulting a bunch of ten year olds, so I didn't do it.

BUT I dont think I've ever been so appalled by the behavior of kids.  It was really strange.

As I walked away from the bathroom I could hear them saying stuff to a woman who had walked in.

It was pretty gross, like Mean Girls Chevy Edition.

If that's what the kids are like now, I'm glad Chevy is doing something. [/quote]

What a crazy story! You were way more easy-going than I would have been. I would have busted them big time. but then I'm old (44) and have zero tolerance for lip from kids.[/quote]

Afterwards I literally felt like I had been attacked, like I had been bullied. It was only after I got to my seat that I realized how egregious it was. I told my parents and thought about complaining to a manager, but in all honesty, most of those kids have parents that would argue with the manager, try to turn it back on me, and probably the kids wouldn't have gotten punished AT ALL.

Anyway, I admit I walked back to the bathroom about a half hour after it happened (and after drinking some wine) fully intending to break it down for them if they tried it again, but they were gone.  It was definitely bizarre, like out of [i]Children of the Corn[/i].[/quote]
