I have many pet peeves in life, but
one of the ones that truly pisses me off is when people twist my words. See, I
work in retail, and customer service is a huge part of that. Today a customer
wanted to try on an item that was on a mannequin, that I knew wasn’t their
size. I nicely tried to explain to them that each brand cuts differently, so
they might want to try the next size up before trying the size that was on the
mannequin. Honestly, I put it as nicely as I possibly could that they were not
going to fit into the item that was on the mannequin. However, said customer
then proceeded to approach my manager and tell him that I had called them fat. I’m
sorry, but when in hell did I call you fat?! NEVER! I’m all about positive self
image and there’s no way I would every call anyone fat, ever. What truly angered
me about this situation was that I did not insult, downgrade, or diminish this
customer in any way, shape, or form. Yet they still feel like it’s okay to tell
my manager that I’m doing so. I’m sorry, but when did it become okay to lie and
twist words just for your own benefit. Umm, it didn’t!
