Have you ever been accountable when others are to blame?

I have done this before but I will never do it again. People just are not grateful anymore and would not do the same for me if need be.

Well working at a retail store in Customer Service.. My job consists of being blamed for others mistakes. For the customer losing their receipt, for our return policies, for the other cashiers mistakes, for things that happened when I wasn't even working! At our store you have to insert your debit card to use it.. I had a customer come to me yelling saying that the cashier "didn't give his card back" and he told me I gave terrible customer service because I didn't have his card. Of course I didn't have his card he left it at the other side of the store! Hmm, she did not take his card though, he inserted into the pin pad himself so it's his job to take it out!

The million things going wrong is all because the wrong one gets the blame and when that happens how can anything be set right when the culprit is not booked? I am blamed for the rift among siblings but I know who is really to blame.

A couple of times, by virtue of being the one that should have known better. Of course, I was not the one committing the situation. And I'm not going to play babysitter to a bunch of people. That is just not something that I am going to really do a lot of the time through life. There are a lot of people who have said, "you know better, you should have stopped so and so from doing this." You know what, they might not have listened to me. This happened a couple of times in my school days. Its just that you tend to get tried as guilty by association. By being the more mature one. Maybe if I had choke chains on these people, I could have reigned them in. However, I don't and its not like I was going to get any reward for policing them. It is rather unfortunate when you get to become guilty by association because you should have known better. Which gives a lot of people a license to do whatever, because they don't know better.
