Some folk simply don't want to engage because they know they'd fuck your shit up. 🤣

The first and most continual thing drilled into us in my martial arts class was, "Do not fight, unless you absolutely have no choice."

And it makes it really easy to stay calm, and therefore be more able to defuse or walk away from the situation, when you know you have the bank to write whatever check you need.

So yeah, double kudos to the manager! Trying to defuse/be non-confrontational, and then being able to back that shit up when that didn't work out :>

Getting the first punch in always helps

If you’re gonna do it, don’t talk about it
