I don't mean to be rude, and certainly empathize with you but it sounds like details are left from this story.

Maybe it was something else, like... I dunno did she try to help and you rejected her, maybe? She may have felt offended that you weren't willing to open up or something? Not trying to make any wild accusations, just suggesting possibilities because it just sounds odd. Offended by crying. Wow.

In any case, what a rude bitch. :S

Personally, I would have issues with someone helping me who was crying. I dont do well with displays of emotion either. You really should have stayed home since you were that upset. You upset the customer and dragged people into your business that shouldn't have to have been involved.

That said, I hope everything works out for you and your grandma.

Did anyone ask if you were OK while you were working?

But with the lady, I'm glad your supervisor yelled at her.:) People sure are assholes.

Alright, I agree with anyone that said I shouldn't have been there in that condition. I was only there for under an hour of my 6 hour shift when I went home, but at my work with my employers, if you call in for whatever reason they'll reduce your shifts so you're only working once a week. (and yeah, my rent is more than 2 shifts a week.)

And no to temporaryplaceholder, and xXWolfPackXx, no one asked me if I needed help or anything. I don't blame them, and I can understand with the users here who've said they would feel uncomfortable. And to Caduceus, most customers didn't react any different to me to how I normally was. I don't feel like I 'dragged anyone into my affairs' but I guess I could see how others could maybe see that,

still I don't think that give that lady the right to call the store and complain about something that shouldn't really anger/upset her that much.

I gotta agree. You really shouldn't have been waiting on customers. I hope your grandma will be okay, but next time you're that upset, you should just stay home.

She shouldn’t have. Fuck her, seriously. Who the hell does she think she is? Honestly, she was probably in a horrible mood and was looking for someone to take it out on and you just happened to be that person.

I mean honestly, it isn’t that big a deal that a cashier (aka you) was crying. EVERYONE feels emotions, it happens. She shouldn’t complain about that. She needs to suck up whatever her problem is.

Lol well that is a weird experience. I agree with some of the previous replies; you should have been working - your boss should have told you to go home and get some rest. But the thing is: if someone helping me suddenly was crying, I would have asked what was wrong. I mean... for me that's a decent thing to do.

The customers probably felt a little awkward with you crying while whishing them good night - but people telling you to suck it up... well that isn't right either.

I do hope your grandma will be alright though ^^ she wouldn't want you to be worrying so much.

I don't agree at all. It is a big deal that someone is crying! I mean, with an attitude that it isn't that big of a deal when someone cries ... were would we be? I think that people should need to care a little more about others instead of thereselfs.

I'm repeating myself but if I saw someone cry, I would have asked why he or she is crying. It is a big deal if someone is feeling so unhappy that he or she feels the urge to cry, because in their world something is wrong. Someone should have at least tried to cheer her up.

I think you might have taken my statement wrong, or I worded it wrong. One or the other.

I didn’t mean the reasoning behind why she was a crying wasn’t a big deal. I meant her expressing her emotions isn’t. I mean, expressing your emotions in a healthy and constructive manner shouldn’t offend someone.

Sorry if my statement confused anyone. I don’t always think things through before I type them.

Lol I do the same thing; type things first and then think and usually it's too late already.

What I tried to say was that people who didn't know her and didn't know the reason behind her crying should have cared too. It's not a big deal expressing your emotions, but I find it a big deal if people do not care about that or just ignore it.

So her crying was a big deal, because she felt unhappy and people didn't even felt the urge to ask her or to try and comfort her. But expressing your emotions is never wrong :D

While I agree with you in that the woman shouldn't have acted in such a way, sometimes you really do need to try to control your emotions. I mean, I know some people can't, and being an actress I have more experience with that. My director had to replace someone because something similar happened, but personally I don't think she was the best for the role anyway. >.> But yeah, I had a breakdown backstage once. Not fun. I was curled up into a ball sobbing between my scenes. I was fine on stage though. ...I think my brain has a switch or something. :x

I would have told her she needs to look at herself. I know it's hard to control emotions. I try to hold it in, then only end up crying so much i puke all night. not a good thing :/ You can't always hold everything in, sometimes you just gotta let it out, thankfully, your boss understood.

Fuck them. Two of my so-called friends were bitching to me about my over-emotional behavior and how I cry whenever I'm extremely overwhelmed by my life. Hey, excuse me, but I'm a little sensitive, and telling me that I'm socially awkward and have no friends just to make yourself feel better about YOU having no friends happens to upset me a little bit! -grumbles-

Hope your grandma feels better soon! I know how it feels to have a grandma in the hospital and be overwhelmed by worry and people bitching about your emotions. ;D

Serving her with a smile is MUCH more important than worrying about a family member being in the hospital.

At least that's what she thinks =/

People like that suck. Sorry you had to deal with that.

I hope your grandmother's okay <3

Although I -if I was this rude women- would feel uncomfortable in this situation, as I always kind of...freeze when I see meone upset or crying, and immidiately move away, I wouldn't have got outraged about it.

If she's offended by you crying, she needs to suck it up. ]:|

I agree that this woman acted inappropriately. I also agree that it's alright to cry in public sometimes because it's hard to contain your emotions when something traumatic is happening to you. However, I don't agree that everyone who saw her crying should have immediately asked her what was wrong and should have tried to comfort her. For one thing, some people (like me) find it very awkward when someone near them is crying and don't know what to do/say. For another thing, these customers were all strangers, and they shouldn't be expected to get involved in the personal business of someone who they don't know. Also, some people don't even want comfort when they're crying. I know that when I cry, especially in public, I just want to be alone and get over it myself because it's already embarrassing enough without having people fuss over me.
