"UH OH WE DON'T SERVE BEARS FANS IN HERE!!!"

Lol sounds like he's just joking. You're taking it way too serious.

 

[storybook77]

So typical playful sports banter upset you?!? FFS OP!

 

[emb]

Light-hearted banter about sports team stuff seems perfectly acceptable to me. Swearing while talking to random people you're serving is really unprofessional imo. Still, I think you're making a bigger deal out of it than it is... but then it also depends on his tone, how you reacted, etc.

 

[HK-47]

We should just pack it up as a species.

 

[DarkFlow]

Mmm...so everyone is ignoring the part in the OP where I say I don't care. Got it.

The point is: I would have never cursed at a customer when working a random job as a teenager. It just struck me as funny.

Sheesh. You guys are all stuffy on St. Patrick's Day.

You care enough to make a thread about it.

3 years from now when you decide to step outside again. Change your mind

 

[Carnby]

I don't follow sports, but don't the Bears suck?

 

[thecouncil]

I walk in:

"UH OH WE DON'T SERVE BEARS FANS IN HERE!!!"

My jaw just dropped. He said that to a customer?! You were right to be offended, OP. Please get this child fired before he hurts someone else.

The point is: I would have never cursed at/said shit a customer when working a random job as a teenager. It just struck me as funny.

Sheesh. You guys are all stuffy on St. Patrick's Day.

He did not curse at you, he made a joke man

 

[Zetta]

I thought it was going to be worse but that's nothing OP.

 

[EatChildren]

You would not survive in Australia.

a teenager making a harmless joke in a minimum wage job at walgreens??

WHAT HAS THIS HORRIBLE WORLD COME TOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[Kerned]

Mmm...so everyone is ignoring the part in the OP where I say I don't care. Got it.

You're ignoring the part where you made a thread abou. this, which indicates that you super duper care.

 

[BeatResetsTheWorld]

Proper reaction would be

Or if he REALLY wants him to feel it

it's kinda hard to interpret this:

1) now, I dont care

2) have we lost all human decency? anyone else encounter crude/rude/bad attitudes?

OP you care

You would not survive in Australia.

spiders dont waste time giving you shit

 

[SliceSabre]

I walk in:

"UH OH WE DON'T SERVE BEARS FANS IN HERE!!!"

You need to get some true social interaction in your life.

 

[Vermillion]

I walk in:

"UH OH WE DON'T SERVE BEARS FANS IN HERE!!!"

Seriously? That's a huge overreaction. Sports fans fuck with people that stan other teams all the time.

 

[potam]

I walk in:

"UH OH WE DON'T SERVE BEARS FANS IN HERE!!!"

hahaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhaahaaaaaaa

"GAF, STORE EMPLOYEE MADE SMALL TALK WITH ME. HAVE WE LOST ALL DECENCY?

pls respond"

 

[Mammoth Jones]

Oh give me a break. You're far too sensitive if this is enough to get under your skin.

 

[Booshka]

The point is, can you imagine working somewhere as a teenager and saying this to a customer? Have we lost all human decency? Or is this just the breaks when it comes to shopping at Walgreens?

OP Seriously, it's a fucking sports team shirt, for the Bears too, you got your balls busted.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

WHAT HAS THIS HORRIBLE WORLD COME TOOOOOOOOOOOO

I WAS BEING LIGHT-HEARTED ABOUT THE THING!!!

You guys...now I'm getting all steamed up.

 

[Chie Satonaka]

For what it's worth, OP, I'm on your side.

I don't care how playful the banter is. Keep that shit to yourself. It's not the end of the world, but sometimes you don't want to deal with people's unprofessionalism.

Edit: Oh, you weren't really offended?

In that case have at it.

 

[bananas]

Dress like a clown, don't be surprised when people tell jokes.

 

[Narag]

I can't imagine suffering such an indignity.

 

[Crossing Eden]

I walk in:

"UH OH WE DON'T SERVE BEARS FANS IN HERE!!!"

That's what that is about? Dude, that's like the most common sports joke between strangers ever.

 

[BumRush]

OP, really?

 

[commedieu]

I don't follow sports, but don't the Bears suck?

Eh, he works at Walgreens. I've had shitty service jobs in the past, to be sure, and would never have said "dude I was just giving you shit" but I would definitely give them shit, you know what I mean.

Wearing a sports shirt is an open invitation for shit to be given from other sports fans.

 

[Yaboosh]

I WAS BEING LIGHT-HEARTED ABOUT THE THING!!!

You guys...now I'm getting all steamed up.

You said it was rude/crude/bad attitude.

 

[Effnine]

Mmm...so everyone is ignoring the part in the OP where I say I don't care. Got it.

You cared enough to make a post about it ... so, yeah, I'd say you care

 

[Karsticles]

I love how "professional" really just means dehumanizing yourself into an obedient capitalist slave these days.

 

[Surface of Me]

You should get him fired and be there for when it happens, wearing that very same shirt, when he walks past you with all the disappointment in the world, simply say, "UH OH LOOKS LIKE YOU WONT BE SERVING ANY BEAR FANS EVER AGAIN"

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

I walk in:

"UH OH WE DON'T SERVE BEARS FANS IN HERE!!!"

You are a Bears fan right? You should have seen this coming.

 

[DiscoJer]

He didn't make fun of your shirt. He joked about you being a Bears fan.

Cardinals and Cubs fans do the same thing to each other all the time.

 

[Nukemttg]

Nothing like a good thread backfire to brighten my day!

 

[Vyrance]

I think this will be the thread of the night guys

 

[rjinaz]

Sounds like a cool guy. What store?

On a serious note, I learned in retail it's best just to keep your thoughts to yourself. You never know what might offend somebody and it's not worth losing your job over. Guessing that person will find out the hard way.

 

[shadyspace]

Like, the entire point of wearing your colors in public is that somebody can give you shit for it so you can engage in fun sports talk.

 

[Pinko Marx]

So how did you respond to the employee in order for him to say "Dude, chill, I was just giving you shit."?
You must've given him the stinkmeaner face or something.

 

[Salsa]

at bar

girl: uhhh that shirt, you guys sure sucked last game want a drink to make up for it?

op: OH MY GOD I DIDNT HAVE TIME TO DRESS UP ;_; THE DECENCY

 

[mr2xxx]

Have a beer and drop any type of sports fandom because if you can't handle that then you're in for a rude awakening.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

The intended tone of this thread was clearly misinterpreted. I take full responsibility...thought some of the blame rests on you.

GOOD GOLLY MISS MOLLY YOU GUYS.

 

[dekline]

Dude chill. He's a millennial with only basic skills for walgreens.

 

[Acorn]

Don't be that guy

 

[Nastrodamous]

Bears gonna bear

 

[OatmealMu]

You're a stronger person than I, OP. How you didn't punch the kid is anyones' guess.

 

[Uno Venova]

I'm sorry you had to experience that OP, this is why I'm terrified of going to Gamestop.

 

[Deadbeat]

 

[CloudyTuba]

I walk in:

"UH OH WE DON'T SERVE BEARS FANS IN HERE!!!"

And you take offense to this so much that you claim that this person has "lost all human decency" and then ask if "rude, crude and/or bad attitude teenage cashiers" are the norm when shopping at Walgreens?

Dude.
Dude.

You and SolVanderlyn should attend social gatherings together. It'd be great.

Actually got me laughing out loud.

 

[Xe4]

Dat thread backfire.

Spoiler

I'm just giving you shit, OP.
