"vegans Should Be Punched" - Allegedly

[Canary42]

According to a NatWest employee.

Footnote for cruciverbalists: NatWest is an anagram of Ant Stew ;-)

IF she wasn't a vegan, then this would have never been reported on, and the comment "vegans Should Be Punched" would have never been taken so personally.

[Rockrose]

Spath you tell me to calm down and then come out with this pile of tripe!
//She did, if you think otherwise then you are (in my opinion) deluded by your desire to argue. //
I have said it before when you insulted me and my career as a chef and I went back on it. But this is the last time I converse with you, I am more and more convinced that you are a stooge or at the very least employed by someone to be troublesome.
There is no way that you could be what you claim to be and put in the hours that you do on this site.
Because of this and because of the way you respond to me I will no longer communicate with you.

[spathiphyllum]

Don't be getting personal we're discussing the topic at hand.

You must agree, if she wasn't vegan, she wouldn't have gotten a penny.

[Atheist]

Spath, I would imagine that she was compensated for being insulted/threatened, not for her food preference.

[spathiphyllum]

Yes but why be insulted or threatened by a comment that doesn't apply to you? Case and point.. it did, because she is a vegan...

[Rockrose]

Of that is why she was compensated - the same as I would be if someone at Natwest questioned that I was a mad old cat lady for wanting to do a vet course - or saying that all cat lovers deserved to be punched in the face.
This thread just goes to show peoples dislike and distrust of vegans.

[Mamyalynne]

Spath, you are being illogical, irrational and argumentative for the sake of it.

They say absence makes the heart grow fonder but you are disproving that very quickly indeed.

[Atheist]

Hear, hear, Mamy!

[spathiphyllum]

Maybe because members feel the need to not comment on the actual OP and instead be juvenile and talk to me personally instead. Now look what we're discussing? Thread derailed from RR taking things too personally, when i have no bloody clue who on earth she is.

[spathiphyllum]

"Of that is why she was compensated - the same as I would be if someone at Natwest questioned that I was a mad old cat lady for wanting to do a vet course - or saying that all cat lovers deserved to be punched in the face. "

Ah so now you agree. Fair lol.

[spathiphyllum]

Or let me get this straight, her being a vegan has nothing to do with it at all?

[Mamyalynne]

How clear is this?

Bank employee is rude to customer, Bank responds to customer and rectifies the situation.

[spathiphyllum]

As clear as it was from the start, thanks

[Rockrose]

mamya as I have tried to say several times - if anyone else had been faced with that rudeness then they too would have been entitled to compensation.

[spathiphyllum]

I'm not disagreeing with that.

[Mamyalynne]

Exactly, an employee applying their own ideals when they should stay professional.

[Calicogirl]

Blimey Spath stop being so obtuse, she was compensated not becase she was a Vegan but because the bank employee fell short of the professional standards expected of them, being Vegan was totally irrelevant.

[spathiphyllum]

Yes, being vegan was totally irrelevant to the comment "vegans Should Be Punched".

Right - Oh.

[Mamyalynne]

Calico - head/wall interface, I'd stop now before medication is required.

[naomi24]

He shouldn't have said it but how will compensation soothe her tender feelings?
