This person who works at a supermarket is annoying me; please give advice.


Question Posted Saturday September 26 2009, 5:39 pm

There is a huge grocery store where I shop and one of the kids who brings in baskets from the parking lot always gives me a contemptuous look. I walk with a limp and he is like that with people who are handicapped. I called about him last year and spoke with a district manager who assured me he would take care of the problem. When I called back, his attitude with me had changed and he acted like I was the culprit. I thought that was very odd. He said I had to face the kid and identify him face to face. I did not want to do that but I gave a complete description of him. A year later, he is still working there. What should I do?

Shop elsewhere or ignore him. If it really bothers you and you want to still shop there, take a photo of the parking lot - when he's in it - and send it to the district manager to identify him.

It's hard having a handicap--others don't understand it. My little sister has worn hearing aids since she was 4 years old and a lot of people have given her the same sort of treatment (especially kids). It's really hard, but the best thing that you can do is probably to just ignore it. Just try to stay patient and be glad that you're not as ignorant. Good luck!

Ignore him. He doesn't get what being handicapped is like, so his only reaction is to stare.

Don't pay any attention to him.

People are funny about what they don't understand.
You can ignore him in future he dosen't exist therefore he cannot upset you, OR you do the unexspected say Hello, how are you today? get him onside tell him a crocodile did this to you he'll think you differently then he'll think your really brave you Steve & Terry Irwin " The crocodile Hunter" go way back. His attitude about dissabillity is ignorant on his part & his problem don't let it be yours. if he is rude to you about being friendly just ignore him he can't fight with you if you don't engage him. Do it in public around lots of people he cannot do you wrong at his work place with cameras.

well if i were you, i would just call the kid out to his face while your walking into the store. its so much easier to deal with the problem at its root. just ask him why he insits on starring at you like that. he will probly feel really awkward and stop. if not, then ignore him. not everyone is going to agree with you or be okay with you, as sad as that is. but it dosnt mean you have to let it ruin your day or affect you. all he technically doing is starring. that cant physically hurt you, so fuck the little teenage prick. haha. hope this helps and good luck!
