  • A real conversation I had while I was in Hawaii for my mother’s birthday. I had dropped by Costco to pick up some stuff:

    Seriously, was that rude, or what?!

  • Yeah, just a tad rude I would say.  Mmm, I can go for a tub of guacamole now.  I love how you added an exclamation mark to it.

  • That bitchass…

  • Oh. My. GOD.

    That’s freaking terrible!

    Number one, she’s an idiot. Not only is every person is considered innocent until they are proven guilty, and therefore every person deserves access to legal representation should they be accused of a crime which they MAY NOT HAVE COMMITTED…but lawyers totally do things other than represent bad guys. Even trial lawyers, which are a teeny tiny subset of lawyers in general. Lawyers actually do more things that most people would consider boring than exciting things like lying for bad guys! BTW. Does she not have any idea what ethical standards are?? Probably not. Why would anyone who thinks that all lawyers lie to protect “killers and freaks” know that actually, most lawyers don’t lie. Although, you’d think even she would know that there has to a be a lawyer on the good guy’s side too, even if EVERY accused person was actually guilty of the crime for which they are standing trial.

    Number two, EVEN IF SHE WAS RIGHT that’s terrible customer service! Comments like that at my work would get her fired. When you’re the one behind the counter, the person on the other side of the counter is GOD. Everything they do is perfect, fascinating, and acceptable. And we love lawyers, because they actually take the time to read the return policy!

    /end rant.

  • OMG why didnt you snap at her! There are a wide range of different kinds of lawyers… I have 3. 1 for traffic court (I got out of having to pay for a speeding ticket and no points on my record), 1 for family law (wills and stuff), and 1 for immigration (I’m trying to establish dual citizenship)… see not all lawyers defend murderers and rapists. That woman was clearly rude and closed minded. 

  • Wow…I don’t even know what to say about this. That is incredibly rude.

  • Hey, even murderers and rapists deserve rights too!

  • That was very rude, but you can’t take it personally. I’m pretty sure they only feel that way in Hawaii, though, and probably just in the Hawaiian Costco – I think lawyer-hate is specific to Costco in Hawaii, like an official policy or something. The rest of us love liars I mean lawyers and can’t do without them.

  • WOW! Kinda made me giggle anyway.

  • Haha, wow, how blunt. I’m envying your guacamole tub. I’ve been wanting some since my dad mentioned guacamole yesterday.

  • It takes a special kind of person to work there. 

  • U forgot the 10 lb bag o chips!

  • Do you really have long thin legs? I’m guessing you’re asian.

  • Mmm guacamole maybe I’ll get chipotle (burrito bowl chips and guac) tonight :) anyways yea the 3 big professions imo engineers lawyers and doctors have steadily lost the respect of the general public for a while now.

  • It’s alright. You’re the lawyer and she works the cash register at Costco. 

  • That was very rude, people are way too outspoken these days, but I also found it very funny because of the comic drawings. Sometimes you just have to laugh at the stuff life throws your way and don’t let it get to your personally. Love your xanga, you have a new xanga friend!

  • Oh hey, congratulations!  Guess what though?  Who’s a lawyer and who’s standing behind a counter?

  • Congratz and damn that girl was rude… She held your card for soooo long haha.

  • Sigh…that’s just awful of her…

  • It’s a sad thing when people would rather have their rights to a trial abolished than have to deal with lawyers. I’m sorry you have to put up with that sort of nonsense.

  • congratulations! and she was rude.

  • Wow… seriously?  She kind of demonstrated just why we need lawyers, since stupid people like her would never be able to represent themselves in a court of law!

  • That sucks. When people find out I’m a nurse, they have the decency to wonder if I’m gay within their inner monologue.

  • You should have come up with something witty like… “Ah so thats why they call you guys tellers… You keep telling me all this crap that’s just nonsense…”

  • you should’ve is that why costco clerk, sounds like big fat jerk? bazinga

  • Wow. She’s a great conversationalist. /Sarcasm. 

    As for you, congratulations.

  • Was she an old asian lady?

  • hah. insensitive, but she’s honest. and there is some truth in that, isn’t there? =p

    @SAM_in_LA - a happy nurse is a good nurse. 

  • liar liar pants on fire

  • Hahaha, this one is very good!

  • i’m surprised she said that. costco people are always nice to me.

    hating blacks, not cool.

    hating women, not cool.

    but hating people who study hard and are a necessary part of our judicial system is acceptable. i blame it on ‘liar, liar’.

  • WHAT!? It’s funny because often when you bring up lawyers people come after defense attorneys.  Very rarely do they think about the prosecuter that could have put away an innocent man or woman. It’s a good thing you’re a lawyer and she isn’t seeing as she lacks in cognitive skills…

  • err….wtf!!!! yeah pretty rude.

  • Haha. There will always be bad lawyer jokes out there. I think it’s the few bad ones that give a bad name to the profession.

  • Wow!  So incredibly rude!  You should be very proud of your accomplishments, that woman was obviously an idiot.  You should’ve pointed out that lawyers also help victims of crime and those wrongly convicted but that maybe that isn’t as helpful as bagging people’s groceries for them.

    Also, I wonder if she has considered the fact that doctors give medical care to murderers and “freaks” as well.  Ugh.. that type of “hang the witch!” mentality is so barbaric.  It’s depressing that people still feel that way.

  • I was distracted by the fact that you were buying  a giant tub(?) of guacamole in hawaii hehe

    what kind of lawyer are you going to be? I think there’s always going to be pple who have some complaint about a certain job. I get the upturned snobbish nose in the air thing whenever I tell my colleagues what I’m specializing in. Who cares, as long as I’m happy they can take their judgmental views and shove it up their @.    :)

  • love the giganto tub of guacamole. congrats on becoming a lawyer! wonder who that lady will turn to when he neighbour sues her for not returning that lawnmower. or something….
