I blew my cool...

“That which is hateful to you, do not do to your fellow. That is the whole Torah; the rest is the explanation.”

Talmud

I did something today that I am a bit ashamed of and is certainly out of character for me.

I blew my cool,and I mean in a huge way.

I erupted in the local AT&T store.

I was not nice. My language was foul, even abusive.

I had had enough and I was just not going to take anymore abuse.

I wasn't pretty.

Oddly, I don't feel as if I owe anyone an apology or an explanation.

No one deserves to be the target of the type of language that spewed from my mouth.

Still no one will get an apology from me either.

Sometimes, enough is enough. I have been banned from the store.

That is a temporary situation. I am confident that after my follow up call to corporate that situation will be remedied.

Not that I have any plans or need to go back there. My family all have their phones with AT&T.

I am strictly a Verizon guy.

They have also banned anyone associated with my account from that particular store.

This I will not tolerate.

My family has been with AT&T for over 2 decades.

I am more than confident that we will be with them a lot longer than the crop of employees that I ran into tonight.

Trust me.

As a sales manager, I know better than the misnomer the the customer is always right.

They are not.

I also know that the way I was treated is no way to treat anyone.

Not me,certainly not my family and for that matter not anyone.

I will not allow myself to be mistreated.
