But the thing that’s disgusting about shopping there is the crowd. Absolutely no manners. If you are standing in an isle trying to pick out some items, these a******* will ask you to move instead of going around you. I’ve never seen anything like this at Save On Food, or Safeway, or any other stores where I shop. It doesn’t end there. Even in the parking lot, these idiots misbehave. I was loading my groceries from the trolley into the trunk of my car. There were plenty of empty parking slots. But this idiot tries to squeeze into the parking spot right beside me. He starts honking because the spot is partially blocked by my trolley. I suggested to him to park in another spot or wait till I’m done. But he keeps honking until I move the cart. And then this moron gets out of the car with his wife and his young son, and he starts laughing with his wife saying a word that sounded like “jungli”. I don’t know what it means in whatever language they were speaking, but their rudeness was unmistakable. And you wonder why bullying is a problem in BC. Even if the economy doesn’t get any better, I might stop shopping at Superstore just to avoid these scumbags. I hate to pick on a particular group, but all these incidents involved Southeast Asians. I’m not sure if they’re Philipino or Thai (my guess is Philipino), but the ones that shop at RCSS are incredibly rude. I know Sountheast Asians from work, and they are usually well behaved. But the ones that show up at RCSS have zero manners.

Mind you, I’ve had some minor altercations at various other places of business (a McDonalds, a Future Shop, a Blockbuster) but even I have to admit the situation most likely only got the way they did because I, myself, was not entirely reasonable.

I work at a medical clinic where I deal with drug seekers who flip out when I tell them they won’t get a prescriptions for perks from the doctors here, and still I keep my manner professional.

If I can do that then no matter what happened in this situation, the customer service manager had no right to call her a “piece of garbage” as he is a representative of his store and suppose to be act like a professional. Plus he should always conduct himself in such a way while on a the job.

I would be contacting the head office too.

If the manager of the Superstore came here and said the OP was making racist comments, shoved an older lady over and was approaching other people’s children inappropriately near the washrooms, would Chantal still be rude for questioning the manager’s version of events instead?

I worked with a guy that had quite a few kids, he couldn’t afford to walk away from this union job, he knew he couldn’t make that much anywhere else with no education. They would threaten all of us, but especially him, about closing the store, finding ways to fire us. Every other week I’d get warnings “you’re doing half as much so and so and they’re twice your age, you need to pick it up or we’re going to have to do something with you” I talked to this fellow employee who was one of the oldest in the store and I told him what our supervisor said and he told me he comes around every other week and tells him “I know you’re a little older but you have to pick up the pace or we’re going to have to do something with you”, classy.

Normally after they gave us these “warnings” they’d then come by about 10 minutes before we were off and dump a load of work on us. This guy I worked with, the one afraid to lose his job, he was too scared to just walk away, he’d work for an hour on average, sometimes 4 hours off the clock, I never once seen him leave on time. They even counted the number of times we used the washroom. It’s a sick company full of sick people, it’s so bad it should be investigated, a few times over.
