Terrible husband

There was this guy at the register today who was clearly upset with his wife about something. He was insulting her from left to right for no obvious reason. I don't know what happened between them and at first, I didn't want to intervene because it's none of my business. After I finished packing their items, he made her carry the bags. That was the final point for me. I told him "Sir, do you think a gentleman would make his wife carry the bags?" and he said he didn't know and didn't care too. Then I told her "Ma'am, I'm sure there are a lot of men who would carry your bags and treat you way better than this guy" and then he freaked out and started a rant that took him a few minutes to finish. He kept yelling their relationship is none of my business. I didn't care for a minute. Then the TL heard what was happening and finally came in and tried to calm him down then made him leave the store. EVERYONE in the store was trying to understand what was happening. Normally I would feel embarrassed in these kinds of situations but this time, with the comfort of doing the right thing, I didn't care at all. After all of this, my TL pulled me to the side and gave me my first coaching at Walmart, talking about how we need to respect people's private lives even though we think it's inappropriate. I mean I don't even care if they fire me. I know that I did the right thing so it's all good.

If everyone thinks like you and not stand up to a bully, how the he^l will things get better in this world?

It's not that complicated man. You don't have any idea about what kinda relationship they have. Maybe he was right to act like that, maybe he lost his patience after so many tough days. You just don't know. So you shouldn't get involved in something you have no idea about.

I mean after all when you were completing your walmart job application online, no one asked you to fix social issues.

I know they didn't, but I just don't care. It might not be a professional thing to do but I'm damn sure it was the right thing to do.

Please tell me how the he^l it's debatable to stand up for a woman who was verbally abused by her partner publicly.

Relationships are complicated and just like I said it's their business. You have no idea what they have been through before that incident. You don't know who is right.

You're right, but someone who embarrasses his partner in front of other people can never be right. Period.

I mean at first alexander thought they shouldn't intervene since it's none of their business. So that's not like they just jumped right into it.

Whoever coached you for this I hope they wouldn't be in the same situation as that poor woman.

Why are you even mad at the TL? I think they did the right thing. I know it sounds harsh but their job is to provide service to the customers, not interfering with their private relationships with other people. I'm sure the TL didn't like what they saw but it's just what it is. Rules are obvious and you should follow them. You need to put your logic before your emotions.

That's what I was saying. These people are acting like a mu^^^r would have been committed if it weren't for them or something. That's just life. Mind your own damn business and move on with your day. It shouldn't be that hard.
