Hi kimmylee,
I don't see any harm in what you did but deciding on how far to push it can depend on your own reliance on the store/relationship with staff/etc and whether you want to alienate them or not
EG, I have been known to let DTD slide in my local express because I have a good relationship with the staff (they let me have 1p items and they give me heads up on when to come back later in the day for final reductions)
Good point. I was thinking that (well, not exactly as you have written it but a very similar point) when I wrote my previous post. There can be a more staff-customer relationship in smaller stores like those, and it's important also not to jeopardise that;). So, yeah, whilst I said no "come-back" I meant stuff like no complaint from the manager about you to the police for a public order criminal offence*. That's no "come-back". There could, however, be "come-back" in terms of the personal relationship between yourself and the manager if you have to deal with each other again at some point, and it's important to 'keep people sweet'.
*Threatening or abusive behaviour causing harassment, alarm or distress. If it was rude or, more to the point, beyond that, then it would have gone as far as that: in other words, as long as the manager didn't call the cops, there and then on the spot to deal with you, then it couldn't have been that "rude"! You didn't get chucked out of the store (or arrested) by the cops? Then it wasn't wrong or rude. ( :doh::oMaybe my definition of "rudeness" and what's acceptable and not is a little too lenient:eek:.) Anyways, who are you to stop how other people might feel and that's their problem, to sort out their own emotions, rather than yours!0 -
