This is the place to tell us about the stupid things fellow employees can do.

At some point we, as a society, need to stop mistreating people in the service industry. While this guy's actions weren't very smart, they're understandable when someone's put under constant stress and abuse like this.
I would've replied, "Funny, I was just thinking the same thing about YOUR mother!" :twisted:
I wouldn't be a bit surprised if an all-out revolt from abused service industry employees burst out any day now....

I think our friend at JetBlue kind of says that people are starting to reach their limits. It won't be pretty.

All the more proof that people should have to take tests before being allowed to have children.

There are days when I agree with this statement. Sad thing is, because of his genetic background, my poor hubby probably would have been denied! lol

While I can certainly empathize with how he felt (hey, we've all been there. I had a guest grab my hair while I was on the lift of my ride the other day), he did cross a huge line. It is never okay to pull that kind of stunt. Snapping at a guest is one thing, but grabbing alcohol and sliding down a chute which is a huge safety violation is quite another. And even when you snap, it is never okay to use expletives. I know it sucks, but this is the job I signed up for. I knew going into it that it wasn't going to be all roses kittens, that I would have to suffer some abuse from my guests- and still have that great guest service. I'm not saying that people should get away with abusing us (I have been known to call security more than once), but we should be able to control ourselves.
Petite and Proud!

Agreed. You need to have self-composure. You can't just fly off the handle like that. It looks bad, no matter what place you work at.
RIP Bud Hurlbut.
You will be missed.

Jimmy Kimmel had a "Sliding the Ramp" skit last night......
Employees dressed in uniforms would climb inflatable slide,grab two beers and
yell whatever to their customers as they slid down into a small pool. :D:
Good Legal Fun!

I think he saw the MythBusters episode and said that looks like fun! :soap:
"A little swordplay, now and then, keeps my mind off sheep!"
"You're messing with my Zen thing, man."
"Dreams are as portals,
flat visions of misty places,
fragments bound below my surface,
but I can write dreams,
they flow from me,
inscribed but now unbound,
I touch them,
and they are real,
and they are real."

I Agree 100 PERCENT
