Right on sista!  I agree.

I am not sure if it is because I am 45 now or I have just got to the point of being sick and tierd of taking peoples S*&^% I am starting to stick up for me and the more you do it the better it makes you feel and the more powerful as a woman I get!

xox

I never stick up for myself, I try to avoid conflict at all cost.

I had a comment which didn't show up so now I will tell you a short version:  Funny you mentioned a post office story and pricing checking.  Two similar stories happened to me Saturday.  I was in a great mood.  I was on a mission to mail a package that's been sitting here, then I was going to find and end table and a lamp.  I get to the post office at 9:45 and the window is closed!  I know on weekdays it opens at 9:30 (which is way to late for a community our size, ridiculous) I assumed on Sat's it was the same.  So I run errands come back at 9:58. A lady walks in and comments, "Boy, they sure don't open a minute too soon do they?"  I reply in a chuckle, "no they don't". She took a mailing box from the self serve that had a price tag on it of $10.95!  I was shocked. This never happens in my town.  So, I'm still standing there waiting patiently for the window to open and thought I would mention that their tardiness lost them a $10.95 mailing box.  It's 10:07 and I'm getting really red.  She finally opens the window and I'm very snippy with her.  She didn't apologize for opening late which would have made a difference in how I responded to her.  Then when I was second hand shopping for my end table and lamp, I noticed a sale of adult clothing 50 c.  I took my wares to the counter and she was going to charge full price for the shirt.  I kindly reminded her that it was on sale.  Yes, we need to pay attention to everything and speak up.  Some clerks aren't always knowledgeable when the store has a sale.  Sad but true. Always check your reciepts.
