Freaked Customer

[Rusty Young Man]

I apologize if I came off as confrontational; guess I should have used a few emoticons so people wouldn't read it in a foaming-at-the-mouth tone. Maybe my not wanting her to be wrongfully arrested or shot by police was the reason I posted the last sentence?

At any rate, Nicole Lynch seemed to understand my intent and tone (after all, she didn't attack me for my response to her post). Hope everyone here understands my intent, sees that I accept my post lacked some finesse (with the sentence structure out of order as well), and we can all let this go (again, my apologies to Nicole Lynch especially).

I haven't had the time to log on til today, and I come to find this happened from one of my posts. On the plus side, good to see people sticking up for new members (still remember that).

We may ruffle each others feathers occassionally, but for the most part we are friends on the same team......we are brothers & sisters in the same family

Still here and am now receiving OCDO fringe benefits (thanks John): free parking at any public library if there on "company business", no charge use of interstate highway rest stops, and can now log-on to OCDO at any hour of the day AND am allowed to eat while "working."

We're all equal, but some of us are clearly more equal than others!! <harumph> :dude:

Understand that "coming a long way" can take a lifetime to get there - I should have started earlier.

Unfortunately, I will be working most of the holiday (double time though) so it may be a BBJ while chained to the desk - not.

Will have the opportunity to spend time and eat hearty with family and friends - that is the greatest blessing than a man can have and I am truly well blessed.

cant say for fear of loosing my job

What kind of store is it that would fire you for responding correctly to a customer? Were you supposed to refer the customer to a manager instead of responding directly? Or does the store "allow" guns but does not want to be seen as encouraging them? Inquiring minds, and all that........

Funny story OP!

I figure if I'm in that position and a customer comes to tell me about someone packing an iron, I figure I'll solve that problem easy- "Yes ma'am, we are aware of that and we are watching him closely. Thank you very much for your attentiveness!". And then go back to work.

I'd happily inform him that I am carrying too. Then remark that the dudes gun looks nice.

Drats - I thought that gift from John was a model of a new fangled aeroplane. Wondered why the wires had* to be connected, believed they were landing lights.
