I don’t understand sarcasm much. So yeah I’d rather have that then them yell at me.
But I can understand when someone’s being passive aggressive. My store manager is so good at it. One time he asked me if I could work a Sunday and I said no and he said in a “nice” tone “ I thought you couldn’t but I wanted to ask anyways” and I was so amazed at how well he did it. I mean you had to really pay attention to notice he was being passive aggressive.
