If she hadn't, republicans would have made this chick their cause celebre.

...here on DU, so I won't. But, if the stiletto-heeled boot fits...

I really don't wan't to listen to it again to be sure, but I thought I heard her say something about having kids. If so, I fell sorry for them. She sure has a bug up her butt. Too bad she didn't break her snooty nose on the door.

Any idea where this was, geographically?

And no, the customer is not always right. Some customers are total jackasses.

Jesus, how many time did I have to hear that bullshit when I was working retail? And always from someone who was being a total asshole.

9. That expression was obviously thought up by some money-grubbing exec

who isn't the one who has to deal with those customers, but instead is simply willing to sacrifice the employees' mental health to make a few more bucks.

8. How do you know she is a conservative?

It's obvious the women is rude and a disgrace to the human race, but there isn't anything in the video that says she is a conservative.
Just because there are racist jerks that are conservatives (ie tea party) doesn't mean all conservatives are racist jerks.

-But the overwhelming majority of racist jerks are conservative.

Also, all that "This is America" shit certainly suggests she's a conservative...

14. I'll say this again . . . a better title would have been "Right wing moron loses it"

No, not all conservatives are racists jerks, but a right winger is a bigot of one kind or another by definition.

A conservative gives priority to low taxes, small government and personal freedom. A right winger believes in an irrational social hierarchy and the right of some to disrespect others, who are expected by the right winger to just take it. Slavery was most certainly a right wing institution, but what has come to be called white privilege is and example of right wing, too. Kim Davis draws her assertion that she can deny marriage licenses to same-sex couples because she is a Christian, which in her little world not only makes her better than gay people but also trumps the authority of judges who tell her otherwise. I wonder if she would also deny a marriage license to a couple, straight or gay, who plan to get married in mosque or a Buddhist temple. I would be perfectly consistent of a sectarian bigot who also serves as county clerk.

12. Not the only factor, but a factor, nonetheless...

This is what comes from being continually told by our President, and others, that we are an "exceptional nation". It breeds a sense of entitlement among the populace. As a behavioral model, a little humility couldn't hurt.

That said: Yes, that woman was being a jerk toward those workers. And as Chris Hedges is saying in every venue he can possibly find, Americans are angry because they understand, at some level, that things are not as they're being portrayed by our leaders and their Court Stenographers, and that anger is being directed onto the most vulnerable in our society. In this case, those restaurant workers.

It wasn't about the green peppers.

13. Hey lady, don't bump into the door on your first attempt to exit...Get it right the first time!

ok? Get it right the first time!
In America, when it says "pull" on the door then you have to pull it toward you. Not push, pull ...Get it right the first time! Get it right the first time!
