Hey Lauren,
I can totally understand where you're coming from and agree that
it's innapropriate, unprofessional, and embarassing. I can remember
being in a very nice restaurant while at the Vegas show one year and
the large group of people seated behind us sounded like they were
trying out for a part in the mob movie "Goodfellows part II". It was
extremely unclassy and I asked for the check after about 5 minutes of
listening to the F-bombs going off right and left.
On the way out I asked to speak to the manager where upon I told
her why we were leaving, how offended we were, and why we wouldn't be
back. She apologized, but that was that. I believe if more clients
actually told the manager how deeply offended they are by this
cursing, perhaps an effort might be made to curb it. Otherwise, if
it's just you complaining then everyone will just think that YOU are
the one with the problem....too churchy and you need to lighten up.
If things don't change and you stay there, then it gives everyone
the impression that you condone the cursing, too. Plus one day this
might rub off on you and you'll suddenly find yourself cursing right
along with them. There's a time and a place for cursing....like when
you smash your finger in the car door or open up an unexpected letter
from the IRS, and I can curse with the best of them, too. But not
during random conversations out in public or at work!
I know you hate to move and it's expensive in your neck of the
woods, but perhaps you should be scoping out your options anyway.
Everyone needs to have a "plan B" in life:)
