I realize that by this point there is a lot of emotional hurt on both sides. But if there is to be any healing on either side, someone has to start apologizing, and I’m afraid it has to be you because you caused the initial harm even though that was not your intention.
Please. I like you and **Broomstick **both a lot, and it hurts to see how much the two of you are hurting each other. There’s more than enough pain to go around right now, don’t you think?
I’m not expecting kumbayas around the campfire followed by s’mores. Just an acknowledgement that what you said hurt **Broomstick ** very badly because right now, she is feeling justifiably vulnerable and terrified for her well-being along with grief over the deaths of coworkers. And then leave this thread alone. I can’t argue that there aren’t points to be made about resource allocation, but right now, any contribution you can make is going to be poisoned.
You know, if everyone around you is telling you that you are wrong you just might want to consider for a moment that maybe you are wrong.
You were wrong. You are still wrong. You are still trying to make it all about you being butt-hurt because you were called out on being a callous piece of shit. You are a badly behaved toddler at best.
Despite all the overtime I’ve had lately I’ve made about 3 dozen myself for friends, neighbors, coworkers, and complete strangers. I mean, fuck, you don’t even have to be able to sew to make a mask.
Stop wiggling. Just say, “Broomstick, I’m sorry.” If you’re feeling expansive, try, “Broomstick, I didn’t intend to hurt you with what I said, and I’m sorry that I did hurt you.”
Ya know, if everybody around you is telling you that you’re right when you are vomiting hatred…tell ya, I think that’s an even more important time to reconsider your opinion. But then again, I’m kinda used to having unpopular opinions
(I’ve made six masks, but nobody wants them because I suck at it. So, good for you, far as that goes…)
Actually, several people have told me I’ve gone over the top and I’m being an asshole in this very thread so the verdict is hardly unanimous.
And, of course you’re back, because it’s been that kind of day.
My store is filing criminal charges against one of the customers who decided to go batshit crazy and fling verbal poo everywhere because she wanted to buy 8 “family packs” of fresh chicken and the limit per customer is two. The criminal charges are due to harassment and making threats of physical violence towards several people, including the store director and yours truly. Supposedly she was buying for a “disabled veteran”. Holy shit, how much chicken can one “disabled veteran” eat? That was close to 40 pounds of chicken!
Because it’s not enough to have to worry about a virus that has about 50% of our staff out on sick leave or quarantine right now, and that’s WITH the new hires on line, we have to worry about crazy people, too.
And then I come in here to see elucidator is whining again.
Fuck you, you callous piece of shit. Because of your conduct you’re a handy verbal punching bag in lieu of people I’d like to swear at. All of you fit the German word backpfeifengesicht. As long as you keep coming back here I’ll keep telling you to fuck off, because this is a place I actually can do that, if you insist on coming back again and again.
So, I could hope to become the kind of person who screams hatred like a banshee on meth for two weeks? i’ll consult my friends, and if either of them agree with you, I’ll think it over.
Actually, a store can press charges. Usually for shoplifting and trespassing. But here in CA, the Police dont arrest for a misdemeanor unless they witness it, the victim must press charges.
So, I dont know what State Broomstick is in, but it is plausible.
Unless you are nitpicking over “pressing” vs “filing” which would be bullshit.
Making threats of physical harm is illegal. There were easily at least a half dozen witnesses. We have the woman on video tape. She paid with her credit card and her store rewards program so we can identify her.
She’s going to need a lawyer regardless of whether there are criminal charges or “just” a lawsuit against her by a corporation with a legal department and literal billions of dollars in assets. I’m not actually involved in the legal end of things and don’t really give a damn what D’Asshole is blithering on about now. I’m just glad she’s gone and sincerely hopes she holds to her pledge to never patronize our store again.
This is, apparently yet another attempt to paint me as a liar because I don’t phrase things in a magically precise way. Sort of like how whether or not a flag has fringe and what color that fringe is makes a difference a difference in a sovereign citizen’s imagination as to whether or not John of the Family Doe is the same person as JOHN DOE.
In other words, nitpicking bullshit most likely. It’s what D’Asshole does.
I guess the claw marks have healed since his epic put-down by Qadgop and he’s crawled out from whatever rock he’s been under.
