Paul1405, "..the nice little Asian girl"

How patronising, inappropriate and offensive to the worker concerned. Another faux 'Progressive' who talks the talk but is continually putting his feet into his mouth. You can stand in the corner with the similarly patronising Foxy, who also has problems taking people as people and feels obliged to put irrelevant characteristics such as ethnicity and sexuality first.

Is there any possibility, any vague likelihood, that you might deign to regard and treat the shop assistant politely as a customer being served by counter staff? You customer and the PERSON behind the counter as someone providing a service.

Be polite and respectful and leave that unwelcome, patronising, politically correct stuff out.

ttbn,

Don't you feel better now?

Venting your spleen is so good, isn't it?

leoj,

Foxy is not the one who labels people on this
forum. You do. She made it quite clear on page 1
that
her baker was a personal friend first and
foremost, whose superb cakes she had been
eating for decades and that she will be
attending his wedding sometime next year.
It was you who focused on the fact that her friend
was gay with your totally inappropriate and
unnecessary remark to Foxy. Her reply was polite-
given the circumstances. You were behaving like a
jerk. And still are.

Funny how ttbn - did not see anything wrong with
your comment though. Kindred spirits I dare say.

Refusing service,

Although as Rusty Catheter says, that isn't what Yuyutsu is asking about.

Foxy,

Unlike you and Paul 1405, most customers are first and foremost interested in ordering and receiving the desired produce or service.

That patronising, obsequious, politically correct stuff you go on about would be first and foremost of the pet hates of the targets of your obvious, over-egged, 'sensitivity'. It is always inappropriate.

Please tell us that you don't make reference, verbal or non-verbal, to any such characteristic or make it the subject of conversation when you meet people.

Expressing yourself in the third person, Foxy, is just one of the indicators of mental impairment.

leoj,

Frankly I don't understand what you're on about.
And before you start giving advice to others.
Start with making improvements with your self.
It would give you more credibility - especially
on this forum.

ttbn,

I'm pleased that you are concerned about mental
impairment. The next step would be for you to actually do
something about it.
