Woman Allegedly Refused Service Over 'Police Lives Matter' Shirt.

quote:

"Meredith did not want her name published [...] Meredith said a teenage cashier stepped away from the checkout line after seeing her shirt. She said she then overheard the girl speaking with a coworker. 'She was stating that the shirt I had in was basically a slap in the face to her and she was doing everything she could not to cry,' she said. "She made me feel ashamed to have that shirt in and I don't appreciate that."

Ha ha no if you wore that shirt in Spring the only thing you would get is publicly congratulated. Also stdh is the idea that anyone that wears that shirt isn't a contrarian rear end in a top hat just raring and ready to get into whatever argument can find them

the story proves that already. The supposed wearer of the shirt lost no time or anything and is desperate to get a minimum wage worker fired because they got someone else to finish up their checking.

You have added some much needed unrealism to this story and you really make me *believe* it didn't happen.

Victorian


Due to a particularly eventful query on the livejournal community little_details, this troper has of late resolved to only use profanity suitable to Victorian adolescents. Like "dash it!" and "drat" (which I already use copiously), "mercy!" "heavens!", "for shame", "goodness", and "oh, bother!". Less G-rated, we have the appellation/exclamation of "hellnonce!" It has just the right connotations, both blasphemous, sexual and generally abusive to the subject, and— it's just plain fun to say. Come on. Say it.



You can feel the dratted steampunk accessories falling off of their undersized top hat, it's like stepping on a metallic gear in your bare feet. They're so "randomly proper" they probably correct their oh-bothersome fandom appellation/exclamation to "Whomvian".

Retail people pass customers around to coworkers regularly. I had a customer passed to me because a guy was being xenophobic to my French coworker, I passed a customer off because she was anti-vax. The key most retail workers realize is that you're still taking money away from that person, so you do the handoff quickly and quietly, like this cashier did. I don't have too much trouble believing some version of this story happened, but I'm sure she really does want that cashier fired.

Honestly, it didn't even seem to me like a pass for morals, "Meredith" might have had something in her cart that the teenager legally couldn't sell her. Like you need to be 18 to buy a knife or large scissors in some states, or cough syrup. The lady was clearly over 18, but if the cashier isn't, the store has an over-18 rover to come and complete the check-out.

She also just doesn't look good. If it's true, she made a teenaged girl nearly cry at work and then she got mad because that made her feel bad. It's like when I watched that documentary about over-eaters and a grown woman described feeling hungry for the first time in her life. This is what guilt feels like, Meredith.

I was stuck in a vestibule for three minutes listening to someone tell someone else about the difficulties of their role-playing character and it made me really thirsty.

This.
And some of them rely on either playing an entirely different game than "advertised" (like the cleric who set their ally on fire rather than healing, the one with the goddess smiting her own cleric), at which point why bother with a story?

Who the gently caress is willingly playing in games that are DMed like that? Like....the "got lost in a forest with only one road" thing - who makes players roll to follow a road? People who play nerdgames are so loving dumb 99% of the time.

HAIL TO THE VICTORS!

quote:

The in-flight encounter, according to Cross, began when the sick man, after some initial yells for help, became unresponsive, prompting a flight attendant to shout, "Call overhead for a physician onboard." As Dr. Cross recounts on her Facebook posting:

"I raised my hand to grab her attention. She said to me, 'Oh no, sweetie. Put your hand down. We are looking for actual physicians or nurses or some type of medical personnel. We don't have time to talk to you.'

"I tried to inform her that I was a physician but I was continually cut off by condescending remarks. Then, overhead they paged 'any physician onboard, please press your button.' I stare at her as I go to press my button. She said, "Oh, wow, you're an actual physician?' I reply yes. She said, 'Let me see your credentials. What type of doctor are you? Where do you work? Why were you in Detroit?'

"I respond, ob-gyn, work in Houston, in Detroit for a wedding, but believe it or not, they DO HAVE doctors in Detroit. Now excuse me so I can help the man in need."

And then everyone on the flight applauded.

You mechs may have copper wiring to re-route your fear of pain, but I've got nerves of steel.
I'm sure many of my fellow young, corporate America working women of color can all understand my frustration when I say I'm sick of being disrespected.

Was on Delta flight DL945 and someone 2 rows in front of me was screaming for help. Her husband was unresponsive. I naturally jumped into Doctor mode as no one else was getting up. Unbuckle my seatbelt and throw my tray table up and as I'm about to stand up, flight attendant says "everyone stay calm, it's just a night terror, he is alright". I continue to watch the scene closely.

A couple mins later he is unresponsive again and the flight attendant yells "call overhead for a physician on board". I raised my hand to grab her attention. She said to me "oh no sweetie put ur hand down, we are looking for actual physicians or nurses or some type of medical personnel, we don't have time to talk to you" I tried to inform her that I was a physician but I was continually cut off by condescending remarks.

Then overhead they paged "any physician on board please press your button". I stare at her as I go to press my button. She said "oh wow you're an actual physician?" I reply yes. She said "let me see your credentials. What type of Doctor are you? Where do you work? Why were you in Detroit?" (Please remember this man is still in need of help and she is blocking my row from even standing up while
Bombarding me with questions).

I respond "OBGYN, work in Houston, in Detroit for a wedding, but believe it or not they DO HAVE doctors in Detroit. Now excuse me so I can help the man in need". Another "seasoned" white male approaches the row and says he is a physician as well. She says to me "thanks for your help but he can help us, and he has his credentials". (Mind you he hasn't shown anything to her. Just showed up and fit the "description of a doctor") I stay seated. Mind blown. Blood boiling. (Man is responding the his questions and is seemingly better now Thank God)

Then this heifer has the nerve to ask for my input on what to do next about 10 mins later. I tell her we need vitals and blood sugar. She comes back to report to me a BP of 80/50 (super low, to my non medical peeps) and they can't find a glucometer. We continue down that pathway of medical work up, but the point is she needed my help and I continued to help despite the choice words I had saved up for her. The patient and his wife weren't the problem, they needed help and we were mid flight.

She came and apologized to me several times and offering me skymiles. I kindly refused. This is going higher than her. I don't want skymiles in exchange for blatant discrimination. Whether this was race, age, gender discrimination, it's not right. She will not get away with this....and I will still get my skymiles....

"Her Facebook post has received over 12,000 reactions and has been shared nearly 5,000 times."
