I have to say work is hard no doubt and sometimes you get people you just can't stand to help, but when associates are going by policy and a customer wants to piss you off i think you should have every right to get angry. Here is the story so i can catch you up with what i'm talking about.. Ok so i work in the fitting room at walmart sometimes and the policy changed to one person per room the way that would change is if person couldn't dress themself or if it was an ankle biter so this older lad  more...

Ok so i work in the fitting room at walmart sometimes and the policy changed to one person per room the way that would change is if person couldn't dress themself or if it was an ankle biter so this older lady was upset by this and started to yell rude things at me then said she was going to put the stuff up her a** which i thought was really rude since other children were around then she had the nerve to through a dress and hanger in my face then i told not to throw things in my face so i threw back at hers then she threw some more. let me tell you something its not like i haven't been treated this way before but she was acting like it was my rule.. So if you have a story like this better or worse let me know cause let me just say people i only have so much in me and others feel the same way.... less...

I feel bad for you, but it is Walmart. That type of behavior is unacceptable, but you are dealing with people who see it as acceptable. You can not change anything about the situation other than removing yourself from Walmart & finding a better job. I work for Nordstroms as a makeup artist & no one there would ever treat me with disrespect & if they did I would not accept that from them. Don't you have a manager or security that can address these people?

when thngs escalate to such a degree,its best to get away ,get distance,find a superior in your case.and keep in mind ,how someone acts may sometimes have very little to do with you.people are sometimes already unerved,upset at things,so ANYTHING will get them flared up.its hard,but try not to take it tooo personal,and dont change,-regards.

Ashley,
First off, let me say, "Welcome to the world of retail" Of course being treated like that was totally wrong, but not suprising.

Did my time in the retail world when I was younger, and I can tell you that it's not going to get any better.

Two quotes to remember on this:

"Life isn't fair: GET USED TO IT."

"Those people who make themselves a problem, usually AREN'T a problem for those people who are prepared to deal with them."

In the working world of retail, BE NICE. That's what you're supposed to do - When you encounter someone like this, it is usually best, to politely say something like, "I'm sorry you're having trouble - I'll see if I can get someone from management to help you."

That way, you haven't been rude, you're covering your own a**, and you've alerted store management of a problem customer - It's usually their job to handle difficult situations like this - NOT YOURS.

Hope you didn't lose your job over it, and good luck!
