Work Chronicles | Don't Talk To Me Like I'm Your Child

[@c.nicholle8250]

When someone says something to me that’s off the wall I just look at them and don’t say anything as well. I honestly think you handled it well! ❤

[@sewgeekdesigns9113]

I look at the camera like I’m on the office like did y’all catch this shit?

"Silence speaks volumes." She wanted a negative encounter and you didn't come off your throne. Your facial expression said it all. I bet she doesn't come at you like that again.

[@c.nicholle8250]

People can’t stand when you don’t play into their ignorance. Facial expressions can say it all!

[@timmyturnblatt4108]

The irony of them not reading a sign at the library of all places lmao

[@kblake6101]

Lol, you are so dang funny. It’s the laugh and facial expressions for me! Continue to bring it in ‘23🎉

[@Star-Mac10]

When people are rude towards you, pretend they just lost a loved one. You'll maintain your peace and have an easier time giving grace to that person. Works every time. They might even turn as sweet as pie right before your eyes. I've experienced this response countless times. Mark my words and try it.

[@lynej2011]

Hmm…good strategy. I’ll see if I can do that.

[@precious-g]

These Mayo people be out of control they must of messed up her Starbucks order 😂😂because I know the look on your face said it all😂😂! Her condescending tone and when you took that mess down she knew she wasn’t ready. You are the best story teller

[@CaliBee6]

You're a comedian. Keep bringing the laughs and joy in 2023

[@nikkinirvana_]

No matter what we talking about Ashley is going to give us vocalist and I am here for it ❤

[@kanietv]

You’re a storyteller . Def your gift. I love that you share your stories 😂 lol I’ve been watching you for years lol ♑️🐐

[@eazes]

I had a caller once yell at me like it was my fault then all of a sudden he apologized for his behavior and commended me for being professional in spite of his behavior. I was so surprised I was speechless. I nevermind had a caller apologize for their behavior. I would tell friends of my encounters and one friend actually said it has changed how she deals with customer service reps. I tell people an apology goes a long way.

[@islandqueen8195]

I use to go back & forth with customers. Now I don't respond which pisses them off even more or as soon as I see it going left I remove myself & call the manager. They do talk to u any kind of way, run to management & then change the story. Customer is NOT always right. RBF story of my life....I feel you on that 💯! I does be chilling & not mad at all but my face saying **** you! Sometime I speak with my facial expression than my words.

[@biyasha52]

I completely understand Ashley. I work in the same environment. Entitled ppl are somthin else. So disrespectful

[@shaunettehoney3514]

Unhappy demons don't like to see you glowing in your happiness. I was walking down the street literally singing Christmas songs thinking about decorating my house when I got off work. A wm saw me, walked up to me and started questioning me about being in his neighborhood. Demanding that I answer his question as I'm walking away. Meanwhile I'm in uniform the whole time. Sir wtf you think I'm doing here? I told him demon you will not steal my joy. That made him more mad.

[@lynej2011]

I’m sick of these lil dick wm approaching black women. Cowards!

[@cloc5150squad]

You did the right thing Ashley. Like you said before everything doesn’t need to be said. As long as you KNOW that others feel privileged especially when it comes to US !

[@Nada07able]

Christmas was very lackluster and just another day. There really weren't that many lights this year. The town decorated trees on main street with candy canes this year but no lights. Holidays aren't really the same, not a lot of family to celebrate with anymore. No one truly cares. What kind of tacos did the new place have? The caucacity of her to talk down at you like you're a child or dog when all she had to do is either hand you the book or put it in the book slot. I don't understand why some white women demand people do something for them and think they can speak to Black people any kind of way. Everyone should be treated with respect, especially people who work in customer service. Happy New Years Eve 🥰🎉!!! I hope you have an amazing New Years and a playlist of songs to sing for the new year lol 😊❤️🎉!

[@RussellBrosGarage]

Kudos to you for keeping your temper in check, I've tried a few CS jobs but I give the same energy I'm given, every single time, so I work alone now and love that. When I was younger I wanted to be a Cop, but I realized I escalate situations, not deescalate. Sorry about some of us white folks, especially the richer one's, luckily you know we don't all act that way - love you Ashley!

[@redayvn]

Babaaaay, I stay on my husband about controlling his emotions, anytime someone passes him off. He's even almost broken his arm from hitting a locker, because of his anger, and I told him he was gonna be out of a job, while the other person is sleeping lovely, knowing they're check is still coming. Ain't nobody got time for that. They know what they be doing. You did right, Ashley. 💪🏾

[@Chrissy213]

I love your work stories. You should check out the library subreddit. It’s quite interesting.

[@williamtuata910]

I feel you! I work with the general public too and it takes a lot not to snap on them after they act a fool towards us.

[@ddvicious]

Hey girl, I was happy to wake up and see your videos. You can’t tell me we don’t be on the phone shooting the 💩 .

[@justjo510]

💯💯🔥🔥

[@karlawilliams6899]

When I tell you, my Mama handles people like that on the regular... we'll be in line somewhere and if (typically) a Caucasian woman does that she'll say REALLY loudly "Oh, I guess the rest of us are invisible! No excuse me? No waiting your turn? Just rude. Lord, home training is SO very important." I be weak!!! And if they say something back, she lets them know she's retired and not at her job like the customer service rep so they can get alllllll the smoke.

[@jannalyntye1564]

This reminds me of when I used to work at The GAP. There was one Friday night when it was just the manager and I working because the other staff called out. I was the only person on the register and the manager was counting down the closed registers in the back. While I was on the register, the customers gave me attitude for the line being long or for having to fend for themselves on the sales floor. But I'm like, how are you gonna be mad at the people who actually showed up to work?? It's not our fault... smh

[@alizered]

Girl this is exactly why I stopped working retail and do not miss it at all. I worked at Parisian part time for some extra coins. It was like 5 minutes to close, this non-melanated woman came flying in talking about "um grab two more people because I'm gonna need help" It was so condescending. Maam you can need help but we close in four minutes, so unless you want these earrings, you SOL. I literally walked to the back and clocked out. Did not look back.

[@AllThingsPerfectlyImperfect]

@@alizered “Grab two more people” WOW! How entitled?!? 😡 I would’ve left too lol

[@simplynea333]

I use to work at Kmart and I was a customer service representative for Verizon wireless and you have to have some thick skin to be in those type of job positions because the vitriol that we receive from entitled bozos is crazy! That’s why I will NEVER work in those kind of positions ever again. Too much on my mental

[@violetvickers3586]

People who talk to others like their child are trying to seek control because they can’t control their own damn child/ children or situation at home.

[@beaniebabe55]

Saw your IG story and was like oh she can’t wait to put this in a work chronicle story

[@kaiwhat1207]

I work in a restaurant in the south, but I’m lucky to have managers who support and protect their waitstaff.

[@ezelldaniels6064]

I love your work stories. ❤❤ You keep me laughing! 😂

u see my hand out!!!!! Cap energy!!!!!!

When she said “Ain’t No beef” 😂😂😂

[@stephanieknight7593]

Ooooouuuuuuuu giiirrrrlllll "well can you say that?" Chile I would've had to go collect myself 🤣😭 but naw all jokes aside you are not alone. And it doesn't help that I'm really short so I really feel like they think I must be a kid yo 🧐 the entitled tone they have in their voices kiiiilllllllssss meeeee 😤

[@motherofhollywoodgengen]

I work in customer service via a call center. We get the worst attitudes, they just come on the line cursing. If I had to do this in person I wouldn't make it

[@kmc1151]

I work in a library too and the neighborhood that I work in sounds similar to yours, so I know what you're talking about. They're something else.

[@ashaniyolanda831]

Now that I’m getting older, I used to take it personally but as I realized it’s a them issue and not me. I had a pysch patient talk to me crazy and my head almost spun around so quick lol!

[@ShopBanksTees]

Between you and Jay Lee tonight. Y’all lifted my mood 😂

[@ChocoDippLibrarian]

As a Librarian that works at a public library, i completely relate 🤣 I LOVE what I do but woooo the patrons test me

[@akaziaj]

Kudos. Self control in the face of stupidity.👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@cyoohoos]

Grateful my library has e-books you can download. It’s bad enough avoiding conflict in retail, but people are such I’d rather just avoid them altogether

[@AshleyMillerTV]

we have e-books and regular books.

I been to Chicago about 20 times and I still don’t count it cause I’ve never left Cicero street out west 🤣😭 I wanna come see the good parts

[@ahriesworld7688]

I totally understand because I'm from out west and going to the Southside feels like a new city lol 😆

[@naturalshaun]

Lmfao that moment of silence..the library brings in all types of characters and they're all entitled

It's Mercury Retrograde so we have to have more patience ❤️🤣

[@jpayton1985]

Omg I needed this cuz today I had two experiences.. one guy kept saying I signed a contract so ur reNIGGing like he sed it multiple times with emphasis on the middle part n then a old white lady rite after him told me my mom must not have loved me and I was grumpy because I wudnt laugh or smile at her n I wasn’t even the one helping her! She also sed I support Black Lives Matter like that meant anything.. It took all of me to not put hands on them.. I sed it’s the last day of the year don’t b an asshole

[@cjayg.4553]

I'm glad you kept your temp. Ashley. Love your work stories. Keep it coming 2023( got my laugh for the day. Thank you Ashley and happy new year.

[@Audacityee]

I’m the same way going out south so I feel you lol. West loop and south loop are so expensive. There’s some nice hidden pockets out west but close to the burbs. From hood to mini mansions. A mess 😒

[@motherofhollywoodgengen]

Ashley, she probably upset that her husband is sleeping with the secretary. 😂

[@ltarleton7527]

This video!!! Bring on all the vocals for 2023! Yes, Flat Tops was the ish, especially when they didn't limit your meat, and you could go back for seconds! All the areas (near West, South, and North), have been gentrified and cost an arm and a leg! You gave the best response....the stare 👀 down and silence. She got the point! I used to work at Vital Records so I definitely get it. Happy New Year!

[@Shalasays]

I love that Happy New Year’s run at the end😂😂😂😂It made my day❤

[@courtneycouplin]

I feel you on that me working in customer service.That’s why when I’m dealing with someone who works in customer service I give respect cause working in customer service customers be so damn ignorant and expect you to be nice to them

[@TaNesha-MentalHealthTherapist]

Laughing cuz I sholl said fucc wrong with the Westside Joe 😆 🤣

[@jeromewhite7681]

Whew Chile I used to work in customer service and hated it

[@deet4528]

😂😂😂 that taken aback look and the looking around is so me. Like Ms. Mamas, who tf are you talking to? I love how you just ignored her though and stared at her crazy ass. That’s going to be me all 2023. Just ignore and keep it pushing.

[@poshchocolatesuperstar]

Happy New Year Ashley. Me and my hubby wanna come to Chi just to come to your library say hi and show you some love. We support you 1000%. ❤️

[@1971Brena]

Happy 2023 Eve, I pray that when the lady returns that she apologies to you because her behavior seemed unwarranted and most likely had nothing to do with you...someone was "going to get it" for whatever went on with her before she got to you. Sad to say that a number of us don't seem to have the proper respect for service personnel at all.

[@dejavu0825]

Omgggg Ashley lol I was just listening to your work Chronicles yesterday at work and now you put up a new video I'm at work now 😂

[@jamesjscorpio34]

Happy New Year

Girl!! I love you! The ran over book drop tales has me hollering! Please provide us with updates on the repair status of the book drop.

[@pamelajefferies3197]

Some people feel entitled for the world to treat them like a princess. I think money can make some people like that. You need to say what they do here in the south , "Well bless your heart " . It's not a compliment ! Hahaha

I worked in customer service for 23 years, and I know how you feel. I have ptsd from dealing with the public 😵‍💫.

Gurla!! I was at McDonald's drive thru getting coffee. I asked the Customer Service person for 4 packets of salt (i like salt in my coffee) & she said " you can't get salt unless you order sum that has salt". My response "Manager please" with the RB Face. Gurla! Manager brought me my salt. Smh.
