That's ridiculous. If you say you're going to call the police, you call the police.

Then walk away and have the staff ignore him. However, I also know how difficult this can be when someone is intent on screaming at anyone in range and is especially difficult if you're worried the situation might escalate to physical violence if not handled. I once spent 10 minutes with my staff in treatment while we waited for the police to come for an irate, intoxicated client. Not sure what I would have done if there had been other clients in the waiting room that needed to be tended to around her.kinkajouragehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13311471542574800281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4990890778229196792.post-18842507059708760772014-01-19T19:18:13.217-08:002014-01-19T19:18:13.217-08:00I am a vet.

Plus I have worked in retail, hospitality and with the public in general for approximately 25 years and I am afraid I am inclined to agree with mikesim. Once upon a time I would tolerate this kind of behaviour but not any more. There is no excuse for it. Have the receptionist call the police and then refuse to engage. vet0267https://www.blogger.com/profile/10335016584812667209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4990890778229196792.post-70234885807250165622014-01-19T17:43:47.874-08:002014-01-19T17:43:47.874-08:00You've never worked retail or with the public,...You've never worked retail or with the public, then.

It takes 2 to argue, and to allow it to continue for 30 minutes was completely stupid. I've worked in retail pharmacy for years dealing with similar cases. You ignore the person and go back to work while the police are on the way. I no situation should you confront and certainly not for 30 minutes. This vet caused his/her own problems that day.mikesim12https://www.blogger.com/profile/02433187447735018853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4990890778229196792.post-75966166911549843522014-01-18T04:36:30.624-08:002014-01-18T04:36:30.624-08:00Wow, I really feel sorry for that dog.Wow, I really feel sorry for that dog.Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02895701260577103928noreply@blogger.com
