No, I think I'd call that "typical" rather than ironic. Customer service, it isn't what it used to be... Ugh.

Those self serve machines have been in Aussie stores for a while. When I first went to use one, I wanted help... but the staff member just looked at me as if I knew what was what. This was after I watched her help an elderly lady and an asian man... then she walked away when it was my turn. Opposite experience to your own... would you call that ironic? Must be so frustrating for you!!

No better nor worse than other countries I've lived in. I don't think that person should be fired, but perhaps some awareness training for the staff would help. Or maybe it wouldn't. There are some people that are beyond the reach of that kind of stuff, even though they are good, well meaning people. There's nothing wrong with the laws, really.

What're the laws like on disablism in your neck of the woods? You shouldn't have to put up with that! That person should be fired. Oh my word!
