Yelled at by ASDA staff

That's obscene! I'm guessing you're in a city but that's still shocking. I'm paying something similar for a private rental.

Honestly? Semi rural in northeast council property

Savage, apparrently the North Midlands is the place to be. You have my sympathies up there!

That requires complaining one step up to regional or corporate Human Resources. That was rude, demeaning and 100% uncalled for. You didn't need to endure that; the staff was wrong. They do not determine disability to any degree and they need to be made aware of that. Let them know...it's gotta be done. I have a similar story of store abuse, it wasn't good. And their corporate dismissed it. Complain...it's your right and it needs to get done

That's what I was going to say. Get that 'manager' fired for that rude behavior.

True this. Even in a council house my rent is still 500 a month-ish even here which is scary

Dang that's still way less than what I'm paying for a small apartment with a roommate. Just my half is almost a thousand USD a month and that's inexpensive for this area.

I rent a bedroom for $550/month here in Boise...and that's considered cheap. I'd hate to see what a Puget Sound bedroom runs...from Olympia to Bellingham.

Living on disability in the UK is a pittance, honestly feels like backdoor genocide at times

 

[BobbiSueEllen]

I live on $1,634 per month. That's pret-ty generous as far as SSDisability goes.

I’m still feeling upset about what happened in Asda, I went to get groceries and I was stood there in a lot of pain with my bad legs and back and this lady (couldn’t read her name tag) came up to me, the first thing I noticed was a T-shirt that said “Happy to Help” but little did I know I wasn’t going to get any help, but instead I was repeatedly shouted at for using the wide land tills for disabled people, despite the fact I’m disabled and she tried to bully me in to using a smaller lane / till and I had a brain fart just blerted out, I’m trying to get bags to pack in to and more moody remarks came out of her mouth and I just ignored it, paid for my shopping and asked for the manager. The manager the hole time I was telling him what was wrong was looking down at his shoes and I said what happened and that I was really upset and he did apologise and said he would talk to the member of staff, what really gets me is not everyone’s disabilities are visible so to yell at someone rather than politely ask and the fact that she kept muttering stuff under her breath when my back was turned (my partner was watching the hat was going on)

My mobility is impaired, I can’t get on or off of a toilet unaided and I struggle walking or bending and it’s people like that, that make having issues so much worse because you have to deal with unpleasantness. I spend a lot of money in that store, not that it matters but I don’t shop there to be treated like dirt. I didn’t really know how to handle the situation other than to just get away from it as quickly as possible and then when I felt safe, complained. When I was younger and in good health they turned me down for a job at the supermarket (not Asda) and instead unpleasant, horrible people get the job instead.

Well moaned!
Too many self important meglo maniac Karens with their heads up their arses wanting to prove to the world how important they are trying to ride ruff shod over us lesser mortals , i hope she has a hard fall from her self made pedestal she should give her brain a chance before putting her mouth in gear though i doubt she has one.

They have ALDIs in the Louisville, Kentucky area. Went to one...very little appealed to me and it was all pricey, so I left. I hope ALDI isn't anything like Asda sounds to be.

Asda is the UK Walmart it's the same company !

I pay £550 a month for a Victorian 2 bed terrace house in teesside NE

If only people could see the disabilities that can’t be seen. PTSD, dissociation etc. then again a lot just don’t care. So sorry you went through that.

I was entering the Express Lane at my local supermarket and the lady in front of me had at least double the number of items. The teller said to her in a loud voice "Which 12 items would you like me to ring in". The lady looked up and said what to which the teller replied this is Express, 12 items or less. The woman just said fine and put all her things back in the basket. Myself and three others in line just clapped as she walked away. I thanked the teller and told her it always seemed to happen to me when I was in a hurry. The others just called her a HERO.

Sometimes it can be the clients that cause grief. Mind you, I partly fault the ticket agent since she had the power to mitigate this.

At the Fallsview casino ticket booth for the Avalon theatre in Niagara Falls Canada, one woman was asking question after question from the booth ticket agent, as if she was the only person in the world that mattered. There was a huge lineup of people trying to get their free ticket, or exchange, whatever. This woman yacked away for nearly 30 minutes while people impatiently waited in line. Finally when she was done, everyone in line started clapping as she left. The woman left with a very red face.

Some people have radical scoliosis, where their spine curves waaaaay forward and their head goes up their ass! Oddly enough (and unfortunately), they can still speak.
