Then quit. And make sure to add a review on yelp and google about warn others about poor management and poor conflict resolution.
Nothing good is going to come of a situation where the boss does nothing about someone manhandling someone else. Not good at all.

I'm going to the police station.

Don't just quit, fight the urge and stand up for yourself. Quit only after you've cost them both their jobs. If your boss is not the owner of the store than she has a boss too. Find out who the district manager (or whoever) is and call them. Let them know that you were attacked in their store and not only did your manager not defend you, she refused to file an official complaint (which I guaranty is against company policy) and that you now feel unsafe in the work place, that you are being subjected to both physical and metal abuse. then go to the police and file an official compliant and file charges. Tell upper management that unless they want to be sued they need to clean up their store. Then quit, but not until you bend them over the barrel. Being an adult means doing things the right way, it's too bad that your coworkers are unprofessional D-bags. Good luck young man.

Sorry, did I offend someone? I'm sorry if I ever did. I'll admit I'm foolish sometimes, we all are actually. I'm so sorry if I ever did I'm a person that's affected a lot through my thinking... I so am very sorry!

This post had me wondering too. I didn't see anything offensive, but sometimes I'm quite naive.

Elohi said:

I have this problem a lot. And I can feel my heartbeat in my mouth, gums, ears, face, throat A LOT. It's annoying. I tend to have low BP though. I'm prone to fainting.

Actually, that can happen with high and low bp.

I don't know if I would call it "offensive" but it certainly seemed passive-aggressive and rather rude, considering the conversation a couple days ago (which was for some reason removed from the thread?). Out of context, I can see how it would appear harmless. In context, it was really rather snarky, honestly.

Totally a better plan than my advice. I was likely wrong to assume the boss is the owner and a small company. Which one of your jobs was this?

Actually yes, alone, it's nothing. After the conversation that took place here a couple of nights ago AND my health history I found this to be snarky and rude.

Your fine Abdullah. I, for one, understand a lot of what you're trying to communicate. I think if others here were offended, they should've gotten over it by now...not keep perpetuating the damage (hurt). I'm not a vindictive person, and I don't hold grudges either. If someone upsets me, I blow off steam, and can be a force to recon with. But, when it's over, it's over. I go back to being my old self, and I'm good with that. When someone apologizes, that's a sign of maturity. It takes a big person to apologize for things that MAY be offensive. So, everyone, please remember that everyone is welcomed here on chat. It's a place we come to feel accepted by others. It's a place we come to to wine, complain, laugh, and cry. We rant, look fun, and share. We are a group of young, old, funny, stiff, gifted, and sometimes not so gifted. But, we're human and as such, we have feelings. Let's appeal to our human side

Aren't you always?

I think it's funny (ok not really) how things get rehashed. Like this side sleeping thing for instance. How is one to continue to ignore it when it gets brought back up out of nowhere? That's why it's snarky and rude. No one was talking about it anymore but it was brought up again by the very person who raised the stink in the first place.


Elohi(Earth)

I am feeling less inclined to participate in this thread as a result of this type of thing. That makes me sad.

The manager that told me that is the owners daughter. I'm going to.file at the police department and I could call and have her looked into by dhs... But I don't want to ruin her life...

Well, I guess I'm going to have to go back and try to find the offensive conversation. I try to stay on top of things, but this thread gets away from me - its so active.

Monica, I know how you feel. Believe me, I've been there too. But, you're only giving in to this whole ridiculous event. Look, isn't it possible that Abdullah said that because it was related to hearing your heart? I mean, I gave him the benefit of the doubt and didn't read more into it than what was necessary. I mean, afterwards, didn't he apologize?

I don't take sides on most issues because it has a way of working out. But, when a person apologizes, shouldn't that be the end of it? If the offender continues, I'd be the first to jump on their case because I don't like yo see people hurt each other for nothing. I don't want you to stop chat because of this. I really like you and would be very sad to see any of our friends here stop chatting. This is suppose to be a safe place anyone can come to.
