WELCOME BACK TO "LIVING808".
FOR YEARS, SOCIAL MEDIA HAS BEEN
THE NUMBER ONE PLATFORM FOR
WORLD.
FAMILY AND FRIENDS.
Tannya: AS WE'VE SEEN, IT
BECOME DISCONNECTED.
MIKEY TALK WITH TARGET VISITOR -- TORI
ABOUT CYBER BULLYING.
Mikey: THE IDEA THAT A
PERSON CAN BE CANCELLED.
BACK IN MATCH WE MET A GIRL
NAMED TORI, KNOWN AS TARGET TORI
WHO TOOK HER UNFORTUNATE
EXPERIENCE OF CYBER BULLYING.
SHE IS BACK TALKING ABOUT CANCEL
CULTURE WITHIN THE SERVICE.
GOOD MORNING.
GOOD MORNING.
Mikey: IN QUARANTINE AND
STAYING SIX FEET AWAY FROM
EVERYBODY.
GOT TO STAY SAFE.
CULTURE.
IT'S THIS WEIRD PHENOMENA.
IF SOMEBODY'S FRUSTRATED BY
SOMETHING, THEY WANT THIS PERSON
OR COMPANY CANCELLED.
THEY WANT TO MAKE THEM NOT
RELEVANT AND RUIN THEM.
Mikey: YOU'VE HAD YOUR OWN
EXPERIENCE WITH CANCEL CULTURE.
CAN YOU GIVE OUR VIEWERS A BRIEF
EXPLANATION ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED
TO YOU?
YEAH.
WORKING IN THE SERVICE INDUSTRY,
A LOT OF PEOPLE FACE THESE
CUSTOMERS THAT ARE REALLY
FRUSTRATED WITH THE SITUATION.
AND I WAS IN A SIMILAR SITUATION
AS A MANAGER.
AND I HAD A CUSTOMER THAT WAS
REALLY FRUSTRATED.
THEY WANT AD TOOTHBRUSH FOR A
PENNY BUT IT WAS A DISPLAY
PRICE.
THEY CAME UP FRUSTRATED.
I TRIED THE BEST I COULD TO GIVE
THEM WHAT I WANTED.
HE ENDS UP TAKING A PICTURE OF
MY POLICE, CALLING THE POLICE ON
ME AND POSTING IT AND IT WENT
VIRAL.
Mikey: BEING A VICTIM, YOU
SYMPATHIZE WITH EVERYONE BEING
BULLIES ONLINE OR PEOPLE WITHIN
THE SERVICE INDUSTRY.
HAS ANYONE REACHED OUT TO YOU?
I'VE BEEN FORTUNATE.
EVERY TIME THERE'S BEEN AN
INSTANCE LIKE THIS, MY FARNS TAG
ME.
SO SHOUT OUT TO THEM.
RECENTLY I CAME UPON ANOTHER
MANAGER, A KROGER'S MANAGER
ANDY.
HE WENT THROUGH A SIMILAR
SITUATION.
A GUEST WAS FRUSTRATED WITH HIM
AND WAY HE HANDLED THE
SITUATION.
TOOK A PICTURE AND PUT IT OUT
THERE.
SHAMING HIM.
TAGGING HIS COMPANY AND GOING
AFTER NOT ONLY CANCELING HIM BUT
TAKING AWAY HIS JOB AND
LIVELIHOOD.
Mikey: WHAT ADVICE DO YOU
HAVE?
INDUSTRY, THERE ARE GOING TO BE
SOME PEOPLE THAT ARE FRUSTRATED.
I FAMED THAT -- FOUND THAT A
BEST WAY TO COME TO A BETTER
TERM WITH THE PERSON IS LET THEM
KNOW YOU'RE ON THEIR SIDE.
YOU WANT THEM TO BE HAPPY.
LETTING THEM KNOW YOU WANT TO DO
WHAT YOU CAN TO HELP THEM.
LET'S BE ON THE SAME TEAM.
THAT'S THE BEST WAY TO GO ABOUT
IT.
AND LET IT ROLL OFF OF YOU.
DON'T TAKE ANYTHING PERSONALLY.
Mikey: AND IT'S COMING FROM
LIKE YOU SAID THE SAME MINDSET
AND UNDERSTANDING WHERE THE
CUSTOMER IS COMING FROM SO YOU
CAN BEST GIVER THEM -- GIVE THEM
WHAT THEY NEED.
IF PEOPLE WANTED TO KEEP UP WITH
YOU, WHAT YOU'VE BECOME DOING,
WHERE CAN THEY GO TO KEEP UP
WITH YOU?
YES.
SO I DO HAVE A TWITTER ACCOUNT.
IT IS @REAL TARGET TORI TWITTER.
