Day from Hell

[Guest guest]

For 4 wonderful days I've been bee-bopping around with my cane,

eating out, going to movies, hostessing out of town guests. That all

changed at 2 PM yesterday. I left my third session of acupuncture as

the door closed behind me my leg spasmed and started me down. I was

caught by an entering patient. Then my leg went into full tremors,

shaking like it was having its own seizure. They got me a seat. I

was stuck for 30 min, I could get the leg to calm and I could walk

on the level but there was an incline to the sidewall where my car

was 3 car lengths away. I finally made it to the bottom and sidewalk

but the tremor started and left me clinging to a fence post. They

finally brought the car to me and got me in. I drove home.

I rested for an hour but had an evening rental showing and no way to

cancel. So my son went with me to climb the stairs. I still cannot

believe what happened next.

I was in a left turn lane but the arrow had just turned yellow so I

stopped. A car was coming towards me through the intersection when

the guy behind me lays on his horn. As if I should have floored it

and cut in front of the car. I turned after the car and was promptly

pulled over by the ton City Police (he was the guy on the

horn). He was raving and ranting that I was obstructing the flow of

traffic. I calmly reasoned with him. Finally he calmed down, said you

need to watch how you react to aggressvie drivers...there are crazy

people out here. He got in his car and left. The neighbors to the

rental have logged complaints about the lack of police response and

used my name so I may have been targeted.

We went on to Lowe's for a return. My leg is weak now and I'm

clinging to a buggy. The clerk sent be completely to the far corner

of the store instead of doing the return herself. She says to my son

as I walk away, " She's doing just fine " He said he thought she was

attempting to be nice. I saw she was pointing out that I was not

normal.

I could sure use consistency....and kinder people. This changing on

a dime stuff is for the birds.

Today I'm clinging as I walk, even my left hand is drawing

No I'm not going back for more acupuncture.

Guess I just needed to vent.

Eva, I'm not shy about telling store clerks (nicely) that I need

help and that I'm not able to walk that far. Next time explain that

you aren't able to make it that far, it's a day to day thing and you

are worn out today. If you have a smile on your face when you say

it, they should respond in a helpful way. If not, ask for

management immediately! They need to train staff to respond in a

helpful way. Not a patronizing way, but a friendly, helpful way.

Sounds like you had a really rough go at things. Thankfully you didnt fall, and

there were some courtious people around.

As for Lowes, I would have stated I am having a bad day and ask nicely for them

to go get the product for you. They have employees all over, and they get paid

for the customer servive. In my book if I dont get the customer service I feel I

deserve I ask for the manager, if I dont get a nice response or feel like they

think I am being stupid I wont go back to that store again, and I will let other

people no how I was treated.

I know people always say that the customer is right, well I dont totally agree

with that, but I do deserve the customer service.

Rest today as much as possible, It kind of sounds like you over did it. Take

care and be good to yourself. Sandy

Hi Eva:

Sorry you had to go through such an ordeal. Way-to-go giving it to the

policeman. He couldn't have been more insensitive if he tried!!!!!!!!

Hope tomorrow will be better for you.

Take care.

Jo.

Eva,

I also went to Lowe's the other day to get two more buckets of

driveway sealer and I went to the front desk and told them what I

needed because there was another desk for contractors at the back of

the store and I wasn't walking back there. The cashier called back,

rang me up and I just had to go back to my car and drive to the pick-

up part of Lowe's.

There is absolutely no reason that clerk should have done that to

you and you need to be a little more assertive and tell them that

you want it done there and like someone else said, if they don't

want to do it, ask for the manager. I worked too many years in

retail and it was my job to make it easy for the customer.

grrrrrrrrrrrrr....that makes me mad!!

If she would have said " she's doing just fine " about me I would have

said and you aren't going to be fine unless you take this return for

me! LOL

Sorry you had so much hassle!
