today my co-worker and i refused five dollar tips from an arrogant realty agent who comes into the shop all the time and subtly hassles us. we decited that we wouldnt take his money when he degrates us, insults our intellegence and treats women like objects. we will not accept money from someone who brags about how glad he is that he divorced his wife becuase now she is is fat and has ugly red hair and a face covered with acne.
in hinds sight, i realized i should have told him why we were refusing his tip, when we refused it, instead of simply refusing it and moving on with our business... some time before i leave, before i quit and move away, i will tell him that he cannot treat people the way that he treats us...
we are not impressed by his huge business deals and all the land that he sells... we are not impressed that one buyer bought 9 pieces of property from him and is going to treat him to a weekend in san fransisco, transported by his own personal plane... he is no better than we are just becuase he is a big shot business man making more money than i could probably imagine, while we are behind a counter grounding up coffee at the espresso bar and re-making his specialized shakes for him five times before we get it just right...
and when i told him that i dont mind driving my crapped out mini van that i bought and paid for, when i told him there are plenty of cars out there and a person does not need to go out and buy a brand new car off the lot, when i told him that i will continue to drive my '99 mini van and i will not buy into the status symbols of cars, he proved to be full of shit when he replied by saying that he doesnt give into the status symbols of cars either... ohh no... he doesnt buy into the status symbol of cars... but when he left the coffee shop later, he drove away in a little 2003 black jaguar...
i will not accept money from that man, although the five dollars could have put some gasoline into my car, i will not compromise what i belive in and will not allow him to insult me and then buy me, only to hassle, degrate and insult my co-workers all week long and then come back next sunday morning and insult me and try to buy me with a tip again...
dont ever be afraid to stand up for what you believe in... dont ever compromise for money, especially...
i dont hate him. i am sad for him... money must be his only friend and he is a very lonely man.
peace...
