Am I The Only One Frustrated By This?

Okay - so am I the only one who is bothered by this?

I was at K-Mart today. Okay - it's not my favorite store, but I was looking for some inexpensive shorts for the summer for Chloe (we all know how kids wear shorts out so badly and so quickly in the summer - no need to go to the extra expense if I don't have to.) While I was there, I over heard a conversation that annoyed me. This is the gist of how it went:

K-Mart Employee (to her friend 2 lines down!): "So - did you get that new job yet?"

Friend: "No, I'm still looking. Is this place hiring?"

K-Mart Employee: "I don't know if we are or not."

Friend: "I thought you had received a promotion here at the store."

K-Mart Employee: "I did, but I changed my mind and didn't take it."

Friend: "Oh really."

K-Mart Employee (for MANY customers to hear her): "Yeah - this place really sucks! I am going to _____ down the street (didn't catch the name of where she was going) because they will actually give me the hours I want to work and give me more money."

You know, maybe this makes me so mad because I was once a business owner and cannot imagine having overheard this conversation in my store! I can tell you that if I were the manager/owner of K-Mart and listened to this conversation, I would have gently asked her to come with me, escorted her to the back room and asked her to remove herself from the store immediately. I know, I may be over-reacting, but COME ON! Where is the loyalty here? It would be one thing to speak with another employee about this in private, but once it becomes a public conversation in front of customers, that's when I would end it altogether!

I honestly don't know why I waste my energy being mad over things like this. I know I should just let it go - - but this kind of stuff really gets my blood boiling...
