Its a case by case basis. At work, I do have to have some sort of diplomacy given the nature of my job. However, when I was at the liquor store, I'd tell people to get the fuck out of my store or eat ass and die if they were real assholes.

Aggressive Example: There was this really old Italian woman who was looking at sambuca and wanted to ask a question. I had to be about 20 feet away and she starts yelling "Boy! Excuse me, Boy?" and I ignored her until she kept yelling it louder, and I turned and said "How may I help you, you loud-assed old cunt?" loud enough for the entire store to hear. She turned and left immedeately and I hear my friend Brian dying in a fit of laughter across the store in the California wine aisle.

Passive Example: Theres also this woman who use to work at the store named "Cathy". She's the definition of white trash, fugly and annoying. Shes got this overly smooth face like a burn victim, she has Fran Drescher's laugh and shes from some poor-ass southern town, so she has this weird, half-southern-lisp. Not accent, lisp. AND I HATE HER GOD HOW I HATE HER. My hate is a pointed topic at the store because shed try to be nice and I'd ask her why she looked like someone threw a hot iron at her face.

Anyway, she comes in one day and says "Hi" to me - thinking she can kill me with kindness. So I ignore her to her face - she tries to talk to me and I don't respond and just look past her. It continues to the point where I'm walking around the store, putting boxes away and pulling stock and shes right behind me screaming HELLO, WHY WONT YOU TALK TO ME WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU HELLO. (Again, Brian was witness and he was rolling on the floor. We are terrible, brutal people at the store) That was a year ago and I dont think Ive spoken to her ever since that incident.

How ya doing, buddy?

Well, its not like its a daily event. You have to be nice to some of the regulars. But when you catch little Mr Market pissing behind the dumpster, you lob snowballs at him until he goes away.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
