The Collapse Of Human Decency
GROCERY STORE, KIOSK | RIGHT | AUGUST 1, 2014
(I work in the fuel kiosk at a popular chain grocery store. There is only one person in the kiosk at a time, unless cash office people are counting the safe money. I have not been feeling well, but come into work anyways.)
Cash Office Worker: “Could you shut the safe for me?”
Me: “Sure.” *notice a customer at the window and stand* “Hi, how can I—”
(Suddenly I get very dizzy and pass out, hitting my head on the concrete floor. When I come to, my coworker is standing over me.)
Cash Office Worker: “The manager is on his way, and an ambulance. Don’t try to sit up yet. Are you cold? Do you hurt anywhere?”
Customer: “ISN’T ANYONE GOING TO F****** HELP ME?!”
Cash Office Worker: “He’s been yelling for about two minutes now, even though he saw you pass out.”
(The manager comes running into the kiosk.)
Manager: “Is she okay? The ambulance is almost here. I heard the sirens.”
Me: “I’m okay but I think my head is bleeding.”
Customer: “ARE YOU THE MANAGER? GET YOUR LAZY-A** EMPLOYEES TO DO THEIR F****** JOBS!”
Manager: “You’ve got to be kidding me.”
(The customer not only stood there and yelled the entire time, but later filed a complaint against me!)
