 Playing Nice at AFC I want to start this thread by groaning loudly...cannot find just the exact smiley to express my feelings, so I am just going to do my best with words. As it has been stated so many times before, we strive to keep AFC friendly. I know we all have bad days and I know we all have our own opinions and I know we all like to add to posts. I cannot write how many times I have read something and the first thing that comes to my mind is a curse word or a not so nice thought...BUT I refrain from posting it!!!! I see more and more offensive material popping up at AFC. The forum leaders and mods are working much harder than they need to be trying to keep up with posts. Some examples of things this week that have been dealt with were trolling, racially offensive jokes, members calling each other out and some really offensive posts about common people in general. One I take very personally is whenever someone calls all cashiers in general dumb, slow, uneducated, or plain lazy. I would like to point out that I was a cashier for 11 years. I liked the job, I liked dealing with people on a daily basis and the hours and schedules were perfect for me...it's hard to have a "Real Job" as many of you prefer to call, when you have 4 teenaged children, 2 ailing parents and a farm to run with a husband that works out of town. I am using the "dumb , lazy, ignorant, uneducated" cashiers remarks as an example because I know how it offends me and I have seen many references here at AFC that could offend so many other large groups of members. Please try to pay attention to what you post, please try to stay friendly, and remember to play nice. We should not have to go around editing and deleting rude and unkind remarks, everyone is an adult here with feelings, try to imagine how easily your feelings could be hurt by a "harmless" post. And although I hate to post this, I will.....if a member is asked to be a little more considerate and we have to continue editing or deleting their posts, I will be more than happy to just ban them and be done with it. Enough is enough! If you see an offensive remark, hit the report button and let the team deal with it. Please do not post a rude comment back. Last edited by lhart24; 07-31-2008 at 05:14 PM.   |

| great post KellyMarie! I'd like to comment on the cashier issue~~In addition to my college educated background and my full time professional career, I have a part time job at a retail store and I often play the roll as cashier to fill in for our regularly scheduled cashiers and let me tell you, we're not dumb. We have the ability to deal with people of every angle~~rude, nice, dishonest, smelly, loud, obnoxious, unpleasant, demanding~(you know why type of shopper you are)~~~you name it, we deal with it. So, the next time you check out with a cashier just take a minute and say  ~~ it would be much appreciated and you might feel a little better too!Oh~~and one more thing~~put down your cell phones when you're being checked out!!!!!!!! |

| Also, please don't look down on each other in the whole Stay at Home Mom vs. Working Mom issue. I see alot of that on here and I know that it offends many people including myself. Not all moms are able to stay home yet not everyone wants their children to be in daycare. It is a 2-way street and we need to be careful of each other's feelings. I think it was KMChamplin who said it best...when you feel the need to go off on someone, type it out, read it back as a complete stranger would be reading it, then edit.

| Yes I get irratated by the generalization that cashiers are dumb. I was in retail while in college for the 3 degrees I have earned. And when I feel ready to go out and get a part-time job, I would not bat an eye to get another job in retail. |
