As an employee, you cannot say anything politically. I work part time at Winn-Dixie as a cashier. Customers, about Biden and Trump, I just listen and don’t say a word. Regardless if I agree or disagree, we are not allowed to say anything political whatsoever. This worker at Joann’s definitely knew that.
Recently at a store the clerk was trashing Trump with another clerk. Since he was sharing his opinion as I was there I took the opportunity to educate him on who has the sole authority to declassify anything.
He was clearly not happy with the impromptu class. I never considered calling his manager and having him fired for his opinion.
In my job, I do tend to get into quite a few political conversations with customers. If they start it, I’ll gladly jump in.
Now I know why a lot of employees are rude and don’t say much of anything to you. And they don’t smile much anymore either. People use to be friendly. Not so much these days. We are turning into an automaton nation.
The customer has a history with the store, and the employee. I’m surprised she didn’t record the encounter. Sounds like a set-up.
I agree. She should’ve kept her mouth shut.
The old adage should be remembered: “the customer is always right”.
Give ‘em what they want…
