Dear Rude Woman In The Whole Foods Line,
I’m sorry that you were raised to believe that you’re better than the lady ringing you up; but not as sorry as I am for the whipped boyfriend you’re embarrassing right now. I’m sorry that you feel it’s necessary to blatantly call the cashier an idiot and then speak in only partially hushed tones to said Whipped Boyfriend regarding the injustice you are now facing. I totally see your point: Why on earth would this nice young lady think that your two slices of pizza were a part of the order before you when you placed them in front of the rest of this other gentleman’s groceries in an effort to hustle him through the line? You’re so put upon.
I’m glad to see that you at least have that designer bag to demonstrate how classy you are. You were obviously raised right. No, no, don’t mind me, please continue to berate the Whole Foods staff, it in no way, shape or form offends me. I can tell from your name brand shoes that you deserve the best imaginable service. Frankly I feel uncomfortable standing by and watching you be treated so unjustly.
I look forward to you getting your groceries and heading home. And I get no joy out of the fact that you are coming back in your next life as a mistreated Whole Foods employee who will be berated by rude entitled snobs for 8-hours at a time.
Hope you enjoy the kale!
XO

I spent 9 years putting myself through school and college working in a shop – since then I’ve become something of a warrior when people attack customer service assistants like that! Well said
I work with the public 5 days a week and feel that kindness gets you much farther than being rude and berating the people who are serving you. Thanks for the reminder to check ourselves and to smile and be kind; pretty simple idea:) Have a Great Day!
Whole Foods is an odd place. As the song goes, ‘let me pay my eighty bucks for my six things so I can go.’ I go to Famous Foods in East Vancouver, which is like Whole Foods without the attitude and high prices.
lol
People like that drive me crazy.
It’s intolerable!
