Airplane Steward Jumps Ship

An airplane steward has his fill of abuse from a passenger and retaliates. He grabs the mike and lets the passenger knows just what he thinks of him, grabs a couple of beers and exits the plane via the chute. Bravo!

There are few people in this world who haven't had to put up with verbal and sometimes physical abuse from rude bosses or customers so we hail our new hero! I hope he makes millions from books, movies, or whatever because he has spoken (and acted) for millions who didn't have the nerve.

This should be a message to all the bosses out there who don't support their employees and just expect them to deal with abusive customers. I worked at Sears for many years in the catalogue department and was fortunate enough to always have supportive supervisors who would immediately take over when we were confronted by abusive bullies. We were never expected to "just deal with it" and that's the way it should be. Occasionally it was the supervisor who took the brunt of the bullying and that was wrong. Abusive customers should be handled by store detectives and tossed out on their ears.

I love this airline employee. He had reached his limit after receiving both verbal and physical abuse from an idiot passenger and decided the job wasn't worth it anymore. I sincerely hope he is able to sue the passenger and receive megabucks compensation for his injuries.

To customers who deliberately abuse clerks or hirelings...you're an idiot and everyone knows it. You act like an idiot and you look like an idiot. You don't look impressive one iota when you throw your weight around. You just look like the idiot you are.
