My first complaint

Sometimes I have no backbone. I am sure most of you are not surprised at all. I get very upset with myself for some of the things I put up with. Like the time I was at Wal-Mart and the lady grab the twisty bag holder thing and twisted it aggressively and using a mean voice to yell at my daughter then froze to realize she twisted it out of my hand. I should have asked for a manager right then and there, I should have left the store without making my purchases. I really should have done something but instead I tried to give her a look of disappointment. It didn't work because she wouldn't look at me for nothing after that. I am learning my lessons.
So this last weekend I went to Joann's fabric store (mind you I love Joann's and I don't usually get negative attitudes form most of the employees there. I assume that she is a hired on seasonal helper because she is new and it's that time of year.) I went to get some fabric cut. The counter was full so I had to grab a number. Jessica squatted down like she was tired and didn't want to stand but changed her mind and stood up. Well on her way up she bumped a shelf and it made a loud ruckus. Everyone looked at her and she turned a million shades of red and ran to hide behind me. One of the lady's cutting fabric looked at me with a glare and said "she deserves it". Holy Cow deserves what!!!! She didn't do anything wrong. So I thought maybe just maybe she wasn't talking to me. So I was watching her out of the corner of my eye and she was continuously casting glares my way. So I assume she had to be talking to me about Jess. Jess didn't see or hear this lady and she was already embarrassed and I didn't want to call more attention to her so I just waited until my fabric was cut (by someone else) then I went around the long way to cash out so that I could see her name tag. I waited until I got home and I called the store to complain about this. The manager was in SHOCK and apologized and reassured me she would be getting a talking too. I don't think that she should have said that too me even if Jessica was being obnoxious and did deserve it.

Good for you for saying something! I would have ripped her face off then and there, but that's me. Kudos to you!
