I think in light of what is happening in our world and not to escalate the situation, it would’ve been ok to quietly pull the manager aside or call after arriving home to let her know that what she was told by the employee was not the case. Honestly, I’m blatantly real with people and probably would’ve spoken up right then and there. Wrong is wrong! If she blamed the customer, shame on her. She has to live with her lies. God sees all.

We were not allowed in due to COVID, so I had to call and call. She finally returned Mr. Shabby’s call but, not mine. 🙂 Either way, we got through to her and expressed our complete unhappiness with what happened to Baxter. We will not return there ever again. Reply
Debbie, I’m with you on what you said or didn’t say. Like one of your responders, I’m beginning to wonder if it’s time to open up and say something in support of what is right. And it doesn’t matter if you’re white, pink, black or purple, right is right and wrong is wrong ! Like you, I’m staying away from most of the news because it pops up on my phone anyway. Praying for you to have a healing touch to your body, mind, spirit and soul. Be strong and courageous under the power of the Lord but you can also find overwhelming rest in His arms ! 🙏🏻🙌 Also praying for everyone who has responded. Love you, dear friend ❤️ Reply
Debbie, I’m not sure what I would have done in those circumstances. It just shocks me as to how people are hurting innocent people! Praying peace, love, and light on our country as well as the world! Praying for your safety, Debbie! 🙏💓 Reply
These are definitely difficult times we are living in. After being cooped up at home for months with a super-active boy with ADHD, we finally are able to get out a bit and have to check daily to see if there is a protest in the area we wanted to explore. I do understand and my inconvenience of having to find a safe place for my son to play is nothing compared to what others have to deal with. But we all have things that stress us or get to us and with so much else going on in the world, I think we are all short-tempered at times. Thank you for your encouragement. We continue to have faith and lean on that! Reply
I saw on the news last night where someone captured a video of a young black man who pushed an elderly white woman over who was using a walker, just for the fun of it. He has had over 104 arrests yet still walks the streets of NY doing whatever he pleases. Our country needs to make GOD great again! Reply
Deb, I have seen that as well and Amen for so many wrongdoings. The ones seen and unseen need to stop! Reply
God please be with all of us and heal our Nation. All of this is being carried way too far in my opinion. Changing labels on foods, tearing down statues and so much hate, unrest and rebellion is very concerning. The cashier should be reported for being so rude to customers, after all we as customers help pay their salaries. Please be safe and careful and aware of your surroundings when you’re out and about. My prayers are for God’s protection for all. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Reply
These are indeed sad and scary times. It really saddens me to think of the future my grandchildren face. Keep posting, Debbie. You are indeed an inspiration in these trying times. Reply
It makes me sad too, I just am trying to let go of the things I can not do anything about and let God. Reply
Debbie, That is scary. We live in a small town and blessed to live in the country. We are both retired and only go in town anymore when we need something. We have noticed people are so aggressive at the stores and how they drive. It’s unsettling. We have a friend that has a small business repairing computers. A couple of days ago a young woman driving around 60 miles an hour drove his outside sign and completely destroyed it. Thank goodness she didn’t hit his building. She told the police she fell asleep but our friend said she looked high as a kite. She didn’t have a license, it wasn’t her car and she had a 2 year old in the back seat. The police didn’t arrest her or even give her a ticket. But they did make her have someone come get her. After she left, a police officer told our friend that they aren’t arresting anyone or ticketing them because of the corona virus. How crazy is that?!?! My husband said from not on that if I want to go into town he will drive me. He doesn’t want me to go by myself because it’s not safe if the police are going to let drunks and druggies drive high. Sad. Prayers for you sweetie. Reply
Brenda, I have about decided to just stay home, period. I have not had an issue until Tuesday at Ulta, and the look her the cashiers face just shook me. Reply
In these times it’s best to stay low keyed ,in some situations. I’m 72 and bad bones , a push would probably break something, so iv learned to stay quiet. Love your blog and Facebook post. Reply
I think everyone’s nerves are on edge right now wondering where we are headed as a country. Praying that God does not turn His back on us, but that good people will rise up and take a stand against the evil that is so pervasive right now. Reply
I continue to be amazed at how people vary in their perception of the same event. The lack of respect and indifference shown to others is so sad and upsetting. Regarding the clerk to act so rudely would be so shocking, I would take time to consider what to say, but then I would call the manager. It is a teaching opportunity for that manager if she wants to “save” the clerk. As for your angst, dear Debbie, perhaps you could meditate and ask God to send His healing light onto you. Then visualize that. You deserve to be able to rest easy at night; it might help you. I hope it does anyway. Love you! Vonnie Reply
I’m with you totally Debbie. I experienced something very similar to that maybe a year ago. Totally lied to make it okay and them to not get fired I guess. I also stayed quiet as I am afraid due to age and balance issues since having a stroke. I imagine someone pushing me and I end up on the floor. Scary world when you are’elderly’ at 69. Reply
There is a new social media app called Parler; maybe it would allow you to post what you want without charging. I know you can set parameters for what you want to view. At least at this point, it appears to be more fair. Please continue to post. We need you! Reply
That is troublesome, disheartening and scary. Its hard to know what will happen moment to moment. I’m always cautious anywhere I go but I shouldn’t have to be. Praying for you, our country, all of us. May we all believe in the power if the Lord. May lo e and kindness prevail. Reply
We are now being told not to go out in Alabama, COVID is on the rise in high numbers. They are saying not to shop, eat out, etc. etc. So, here we go with that once again. With that, the racial tension it has been scary for all Americans. Reply
I am deaf in one ear and I look at peoples lips when they are talking to me so masks do cause s problem. There was no need to yell though. I have found if you pull the mask forward without exposing too much and I can hear much better. Getting angry doesn’t do any good. Don’t you normally have to have your coupons before you get to the cashier anyway. 🤷♀️🙃 Reply
Oh my, how very sad. I am upset about what is happening to our country, there is no reason for anyone to be that rude, and from the year’s I’ve work, that certainly is not the way to act. I am sure I would not have said a word, but maybe we should. I am so torn as to what is going on. I respect your fight with google and Facebook, they are out of control.. Have a blessed night, ❤️❤️🙏🙏😢😢❤️🙏❤️ Reply
Yes Mam, these are sad times we are living in. We don’t know what to expect from day to day…madness is running wild sadly. Reply
