I received my grocery order today and had to pause in silence. The delivery person (a woman) was friendly but her last comment soured the whole experience and left a really bad taste on my demeanor. As she handed off the last bag to me one of my item almost fell. She caught it quickly and gave it to me with a comment I could have well done without. The item she managed to catch was the package of ground beef. As she handed it over she said with a smile on her face, "Oh, I buy this same one for my dog!" I opened my eyes at her and stared. She look at me with a smile. I did not smile back, I simply watched her silently. I took a deep breath and thought, 'hmmm mmmm, nope, not today, don't say, a word, not one word.' It is my day off and I refused to let anything or anyone disturb my peace. I closed my door softly entered my kitchen and unpacked my groceries.
To all delivery persons, when delivering products to clients, simply do so with a friendly hi, hello, how you doing, have a great day. If you have nothing complimentary to say. Please For the Love of Jehovah, say nothing. Thank you.
Wow!!! So sorry about that!
ReplyDeleteIt takes all kinds.
DeleteGood grief! That was an incredibly, incredibly STUPID thing for her to say. I admire your restraint.
ReplyDeleteI have lived long enough to learn the value of choosing my battles to engage. This day, I was not willing to engage. I don't suffer fools easily.
DeleteNice post. I learn something more challenging on distinct blogs everyday. It will always be stimulating to read content off their writers and practice a little something from their store. I’d choose to use some with all the content in my small weblog whether you do not mind. Natually I’ll provide a link on your own internet weblog. Many thanks sharing. www.pixelcrafts.co.uk
