Nasty, mean people !!!
Was at Walgreens today. It was very busy since it is Tuesday, senior day with 20% off everything. Needless to say, certain specials can run out, especially during season. A popular item that was advertised in their flyer was out of stock. I had wanted the item as well, but none could be found....so, I bought the next size up and still got 20% off. A man next to me asked the sales girl where the item was. She explained that she was very sorry, but they ran out because it was an extremely busy day. This nasty, grumpy old mad started berating the young sales girl. She aplologized over and over, and he kept yelling at her. He was screaming "this is bait and switch" "you could be arrested for this". What a jerk this guy was!!! I caught up with the young sales girl later as she was telling the experience to other employees. She was so upset. I told her the guy was just a grumpy jerk and that she was very professional and did all she could.
I have said this before.....I feel so sorry for the service people that work here in The Villages. Everyday they have to deal with old grumps. Why are so many old people so nasty?? |

Yep. Some are so miserable things don't always go their way. My guess is he's been that way most his life. Sad to go through life that way when others have much more issues.

As another poster said, many have been that way all their lives and other have developed this attitude as they age. Most people here have great attitudes that are only helped by the lifestyle offered in The Villages. Others bring their own baggage, which can never be helped by moving here or anywhere else.

And they are called grump buckets. They have nothing better to do than gripe.

I believe that if you want to see happy faces you will. I see far more happy and pleasant people than grump buckets.

Has hell frozen over? Who could be grumpy down here in the sunshine and 70s when it's so blasted cold everywhere else? Something inherently wrong with these complainers.

I am sorry this hppened to this young girl. I think you handled it beautifully. The one thing I would like to point out is that this is one nasty jerk among many, many beautiful people. We don't tend to post about all the people who have been very lovely to us, like Gracie, for instance but I am sure everyone has met many more nice people than nasty. I know I have. Smile

Shopping is competitive. I would not judge people by their behavior in crowded stores.

I’m not so sure I agree. I think one’s behavior in a crowded store - whether polite or nasty - speaks volumes about them.

I try to bolster the worker's morale however possible when I see a poisonous old coot treat them like dirt. Sometimes it's so bad I've sought out a manager to tell them what I saw--that the worker did the right thing but was verbally abused by the customer. And sometimes, the manager doesn't really care. I pity the workers. Been there, done that, and will never forget what it's like on the job where snotty customers think they rule and then demand you be fired because THEY were creeps. |
