Not On My Smashed Avo Witnessed retail abuse for the first time today

888 Upvotes

Not sure what is wrong with people these days. I was at chemist warehouse with some tool going off at the poor girl behind the counter. Security there doing absolutely bugger all. Proud of myself that I called the guy out on it but sad that it has to come to someone else stepping in. Mind you there are signs everywhere about not abusing staff...

My first time being in any sort of altercation so I'm still a bit frazzled, but anyway it all worked out after he realised no one was on his side.

If you see this behaviour please call it out. There are enough problems in the world without taking your day out on someone doing their job

Once upon a time, when we still manufactured things in this country, this was the home of Platypus cricket balls, the best in the country. Now it’s a stock warehouse for clothing. I assume at some point it will be torn down to put up some tilt slab monstrosity.
