THIS SAME GUY ANSWERED THE PHONE>. obviously it was okay by the manager..He thought this would get a sale????I don’t know whether to laugh or cry.
I don't know what you said to create the need for the response, so I'll not pass judgement on that. Dude is not a rude or odd way of discussing things with others, maybe not in everyone culture, but it surely shouldn't be offensive unless, of course, you were looking for some reason to be offended. We have all got to lighten up and grow a little thicker skin or at least be able to tell the difference between a slang usage and and insult.
Wouldn't that actually be OVER inclusion?
Sad but true, no guest no job.
I hope you're outraged.
There might be a tad bit of difference between a guest at a theme park and criminals, but nice try. And OMG are we now arguing about simple friendly greetings or would everyone prefer, "hey, crap head, get a move on we have rides to get in motion." Seriously this country is absolutely bat crap crazy and everyone no matter what their belief is getting offended by anything said to them. That probably comes from people not dealing with actual people anymore. We have forgotten how to communicate and what is offensive and what is friendly. This is so sad.So a prison officer should love all the rapists, murderers and thieves etc using that logic? Without these criminals, he'd be out of his current job
How on earth is addressing someone as “friend”—about as traditional and polite a salutation as there is—woke?
It isn’t something they’re trying to conform to, it’s a top priority of the company, and one they’ve publicly said they are unapologetic about.
It baffles me that some automatically regard inclusive language as intrinsically bad and newfangled, even when, as in this instance, the word in question is a rather quaint (if uncommon) way of greeting people in English.It isn’t something they’re trying to conform to, it’s a top priority of the company, and one they’ve publicly said they are unapologetic about.
