Next, she just turned around and walked away from the counter – refusing to help Emilia anymore.
Thankfully, one of her coworkers, who knew a bit about her bullying experience, happened to be standing right there and stepped in instead. As for Emilia, the girl looked shocked and quite angry, too, but still didn’t cause a scene.
Once Emilia finally left the restaurant, her coworker checked on her to make sure she was okay. However, it became clear to her that, despite her coworker acting supportive, they weren’t sure if she handled the situation correctly.
“Later, my manager heard about it and asked me why I refused to serve a customer. I told her everything, and while she was sympathetic, she said I should’ve been more professional and just done my job,” she revealed.
Her reactions from her colleagues have left her feeling quite torn. One part of her realizes that it felt good to finally stand up for herself after everything that Emilia did.
On the flip side, she can’t help but wonder if it would’ve been better to simply “suck it up” and complete her duties.
“I don’t know if I overreacted or if it was okay to set that boundary for myself. I feel like such a mess again, and I don’t know what to think,” she vented.
Would you be able to serve your high school bully if they said something like that to you? Should she have dealt with this differently or not?
