Was walking through Home Depot with the wife this morning
Nov 2, 2013, 12:30 PM
|

We are both in Clemson warmups. There is a store employee walking a couple of feet in front of us. He suddenly stops, turns around, gets this big grin on his face, and says "I am so glad (I am expecting him to say something positive) that FSU beat you guys!"
So he is trash talking a customer at his place of business? Brilliant. I said "Well, I was pulling for FSU to win 'em all...until about 10 seconds ago." He kept walking with us and talking, sort of trying to walk back his comment, until I finally said "Quit talking, leave us alone and get back to work."
FSU grad working as a gopher in Home Depot. Better than pumping gas!

Why bother responding at all?

I usually just give them a look like they're stupid and ignore them. Or just say, "Wow, you're rude." and walk off.

Actually, the first words out of my mouth were "why say something like that? What did we do to invite a classless comment like that?"

say to your wire- Let's go to Lowes and get that.
The guy is free to pull for who he wants but being a smart a** to customers should get him fired

harassing a customer should get you fired for any reason.
and looking as some of your rascist drivel you should be banned just to be real clear partner.

All the customer has to do is claim they were offended, period. The details are almost secondary.

This was not friendly, and if I ever saw one of my employees disrespect a customer like that at my bank, he would be fired ON THE SPOT.
Move along, COOT. This is a CLEMSON board, and I don't care what you think!

Geezzzzz.
Just ignore him and move on.
I would not want it on my conscious that I had someone fired over the result of a football game. While he probably should not have said it but
WHO THE HECK CARES. MOVE ON GROW UP AND REALIZE THAT SOMEONES LIVLIVHOOD IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN YOUR SILLY LITTLE FEELINGS OVER A MEANINGLESS FOOTBALL GAME

Maybe they don't teach reading at Wofford. No one was fired, and no complaints were lodged. You can be a pansy if you want to and run away crying, but I will not let inappropriate behavior go unchallenged.
I learned that at CLEMSON.

I saw someone in HomeDepot last week in orange and asked them about the UVA game, then realized it was an employee and not a CU fan, but he was very polite.

and disrespecting a customer will ruin a company. One disgruntled customer will tell at least 15 people (in this case, 1000's). One happy customer will only average telling about 3 people. Enough ruined companies will slowly ruin this country. There is a difference in being pc and courtesy. I am sure you don't understand that since you are on your rival's board while your coots are playing on tv.
