We went to Sprouts yesterday and as I was filling up a bag of slivered almonds, the nut refill man was repeating over and over "Seriously!!" It sounds and looks a little silly when somebody else is angry. The reason he was so upset is somebody dumped granola all over without picking it up. It was all over his face and his body language that he was really upset about this incident. I can understand that it is probably annoying when you are the one that has to clean it up but is it worth getting that angry about?
A couple a weeks ago my friend and I were discussing being mad. She mentioned she had heard from Oprah or Dr Phil (same thing), that we should think when we get mad "Is this something that will matter in 1 hour, 2 hours or 24 hours from now?" How much energy do I really want to spend on being upset? I've really thought about this when I tend to get upset over the most trivial things. I want to teach my son as well to not get too upset over things he can't control. And I have to say the nut man did look ridiculous, I will try to think about that the next time I'm mad.
lol when you're in the food business, it is very irritating when people waste good product. Especially if it's left on the floor for other people to look at and/or possibly spread or fall because of it. You would think a grown person would have the common sense to say "hey i'm sorry I made a mess" but no... some people rather ignore it. I myself don't get angry, it takes a great deal to get me upset. Although when it comes to people just being lazy and not so polite, then you having to pick up after them. Yeah. Angry face.
ReplyDeleteI agree it is irritating when a grown person makes a mess and walks away. Unfortunately I think there are a lot of people who don't care because they know someone else will pick it up.
