1 /5 The Demon Dean: I don’t appreciate how they treat people nor the price gouging.
On one of my last visits, the shopkeep was holding a kitchen knife throughout the transaction. Seriously? I’m ex law enforcement and have a clean criminal record. I show nothing but respect every time I reluctantly go in there. I wouldn’t advise making a habit of trying to intimidate customers that haven’t caused any problems. One: it’s illegal. Two: you never know how someone will react. Three: if that wasn’t your intention; be more mindful of appearances.
I’m not mad, or even frustrated. I am simply offering warranted constructive criticism. Empathy is a useful tool for interaction. Assumptions, however, serve us no better than the ignorance that makes them so.
One love.
P.s. I’m trying to do better too.
Nobody’s perfect. Especially me.
