I will present your letter to all of our employees in hopes that they gain a greater awareness of their impact in society. Im sure this employee really had no harm intended, but you are right in that someones feelings could have been hurt. Our business is a public establishment and we do have language standards. Everyone needs to be aware of the words he or she uses and must think more about selecting them. Thanks again we look forward to serving you better in the future."Plain(s)feministhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15056404699624958898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20435429.post-59920136537835158282010-11-11T10:12:56.990-06:002010-11-11T10:12:56.990-06:00I've done the "dude, not cool" thing...I've done the "dude, not cool" thing. What I got back from one guy was "It's okay, because *I* know I don't mean anything by it." To which I asked, if you don't mean it, why do you say it? Don't you want to own your words? To which I got an eye roll and was made to feel I was uptight with no sense of humor. <br /><br />Sometimes it feels like you just can't win. Please let us know if the store writes back? <br /><br />On a lighter note, Ben Affleck started a campaign to bring DD to CA a few years ago, but so far, no progress. You can buy the coffee at the supermarket, but no donuts.Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10931380770342598889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20435429.post-82424022426585064962010-11-09T11:19:43.872-06:002010-11-09T11:19:43.872-06:00Danielle - I would have felt the same way.

I, too, am not proud of it.
