If it is crowded don't take a break!!!

[downsouth]

How old are you? 2? Feel so sorry for you.

The feeling is mutual!

 

[Mkrop]

Possibly, but I don't think I've seen a strip mall salon that is thatpacked. Even then, employees should know when things are slower and take breaks during that time. And I doubt she told anyone, because per the OP, all the customers left!



.

Really you have never seen a Hair Cuttery or Great Clips that packed. Ours are like that all the time especially on a Saturday. This is why, the wait and the lousy haircuts that I finally gave up and started paying more for my kids to get their hair cut at the salon I go to.

Holy Cows!
I feel sorry for this poor teen OP. Give her a small break! What, do people smell blood or something?? SHE IS A KID. Have you ever heard of HELPING a kid, instead of beating the crud out of her? A bunch of adults making funnies at the expense of a kid and her grammer. GREAT!

OP... I do think the gal should have mentioned she was leaving.
(Just yesterday I backed out of the burger king drive thru because I thought 10 minutes was too long to wait for a coke. )
BUT, I also think you might word your posts so us old farts can understand a bit better.
You might even consider just bagging it and not even check this thread anymore. Who needs that crud?

It wasn't the grammer, it was the smart *** comments that followed!

I understand this person is a child, but good grief. If it's not the bad grammar, spelling, and punctuation that makes her look bad, then it's her attitude, smart-mouth, and arrogance.

I'm not sure how anyone could give this person a serious comment to her complaint.

Oh, ooops. I think I was laughing at some of those. I was a bit of a hothead when I was young. Man, nothing like years (and years, and years) to calm that stuff down!

Sorry, I will have to disagree here, I read the thread and she gave her vent and the other Dis'sers stated that they did not see what the problem with the hairdresser and even mentioned that it was hard to read her post due to some basic grammar problems, pretty soon the OP took a great offense and to state her, " A lot of you just take every chance to ***** and go at someone. None of you would have the guts to say in real life. " If you are going to post on a thread that mostly adults use, then be prepared to act mature.

Sounds like a kid who could use some positive people in her life to me.

Exactly. I read the original post yesterday & simply couldn't figure it out. I'm not a good speller myself, but I try to write a post so someone else can understand it. And if people can't understand & ask me to use punctuation, I don't get upset, I try to fix what I wrote. But I don't come back & basically yell at people (typing in upper case) & give them attitude.

 

[Mouse House Mama]

Let me solve the OP's problem. Skip the strip mall hairdresser. Go to a salon that takes appointments. While the person you are taking gets a haircut you can finish your homework and then everyone wins!

No, you're right about that... BUT, I guess what Im saying is something about kids these days, needing positive influence, and maybe someone to explain or mentor... rather than attack. KWIM? You know, that's just my opinion. The OP could come back and tell me to stick it where the sun dont shine, too.

 

[disykat]

Holy cow, a bunch of a adults piling on a teenager and then calling her immature.

I thought the same thing.

 

[ogreenlee]

Then you go for it. I, for one, am not going to coddle this behavior from a teenager. Eye-rolling is a very immature act, in itself, and while I'm not above it on occasion, it's highly ironic coming from someone who is taking up for a teen who lacks positive people in her life. Your words, not mine.

 

[lovetoscrap]

It doesn't matter if the poster is a child, a teen or an adult. Personal attacks are not allowed, nor are rude and argumentative posts. If you have a problem with something posted you need to please report it using the Report Triangle. Responding in kind only causes more problems.

OP I think you had every right to be annoyed by that. I worked in a small store (comic book shop) in a strip mall, there were 2 employees in the whole place, myself and my manager. I worked alone on her days off, she worked alone on mine. It was up to us to make sure we took our breaks & lunches and got to use the bathroom. Sometimes it was crazy in there and I would actually have to tell people in the store "I'm sorry, I have to use the bathroom, can you please wait outside for 5 minutes?" Most times it wasn't a problem, only once did a guy get irate with me. I apologized and let him know it would only be a few minutes, he wanted me to lock him in with me, I couldn't do that and had to ask him again to leave. He finally huffed off after I explained again why I needed him to wait outside. I was done in under 2 minutes but he just left. Everyone else understood and was fine waiting. As for my breaks/lunch I never locked the door when I took a lunch, I just ate behind the counter and if anyone came in I helped them, I did the same for breaks. Yes, there were days I didn't get to take any breaks or lunches, but you know what? I dealt with it. I knew when I accepted the job that I would have days like that and I dealth with it. I made jokes with my customers while eating a sandwich or whatever, maybe I was lucky and my customers were just nicer people but really, it doesn't take much to be polite and say "I have to take a break, give me 15 minutes". The person working the salon only needed to say she needed to grab a quick bite to eat, to say she needed to use the bathroom, to say she needed to take a break by law, whatever, she should have said something and not left everyone hanging. It's common courtesy, and yes I would have been as annoyed as the OP, and yes, we go to a Great Clips type of salon for all of our haircuts. I understand she may have felt overwhelmed and not wanted to "deal with" people getting annoyed but there are so many ways to counter that, she could simply have told people coming in "I'm really sorry, I'm short handed because xxxx and I'll need to take a break after this client, if you'd like to wait please sign in, if not I completely understand", but she didn't, it sounds like she just ignored everyone and walked away. That is what is not OK in this instance, that she simply ignored everyone who was waiting.

As for the OP having a sense of self entitlement because she's unhappy with the service she got at a salon, I think that's ridiculous! She is upset because she got ignored, and she has every right to be upset by that. She also has every reason to not want to cross 8 lanes of traffic going 50 mph to get to another salon, jeez, I wouldn't want to cross that either!!

Get real. An eye rolling smilie is something you feel the need to point out? That is ridiculous. And tell me please what I meant by eye rolling? Go ahead... tell me exactly what I meant by adding a little face.
Thank you for proving that the OP was right in one way.. some people do like to attack for no reason. The difference... OP might get mad and I will laugh at your little reply.

I thought that was her best post and probably the most honest one on this thread. Including the ones from adults.

 

[ohiomom28]

The op is a teenager, so some immaturity is expected, but, maybe she should spend a little more time studying basic grammar.

 

[KAMKIM]

I thought the same thing.

Why are we surprised? the Dis is famous for expecting CHILDREN to behave and respond better than adults do.

 

[Liberty Belle]

I had no problem with how busy it was the problem was only one employ being there and leaving for a long time with out saying "i will be right back yall"
I was there when she went to the back i left for a second right
You guys need to stop pulling info out your buts and stop putting words in my mouth.
I do not feel entitled i do not have any issues with feeling entitled.
You can't determen any thing about someone there personality weather they are nice or stuck up from post on the internet.
You don't know the reason behind my lack of spelling/grammer and it is none of your business.
Alot of yall are very ignorant.

ETA and alot of posters on the community bored need to take lessons from the podcast bored the biggest thing we attack each other over is witch is better cake or pie.

Pwned!
