You did what we all would want to do. But once you are working for "the man", you have to follow their rules. I'm sorry that you had to deal with the loudmouth *rick.

With hindsight being 20/20, I think they would have wanted you to take the abuse for a while, excuse yourself, get a supervisor. Many times I have wanted to coldcokk customers who just talk to me disrespectfully because they know I have to take it in a business setting. I am fairly confident that they would not talk to me in that manner outside of a work setting. I'm a pretty big dude.

Larry when i worked for home depot i had the same thing happen to me a few times best thing to do is not let the idiot get under your skin i would turn it around and piss them off even more until they made such a seen until a supervisor would come and by that time the idiots were so irrational that they would be asked to leave all while i just smiled at them.Believe me if i was not in the store i would of gone to jail for giving them a beating.You have yo use mental martial arts turn their abuse against them.I witnessed an 80 year old plummer working there about your size pick up a little abusive customer by the neck and lift him up and walk him outside unfortunately they fird him even though he had a right to do it in my opinion they could never replace that old man as he probably forgot more about plumbing than every one there combined.
