Mary Bale may actually lose her job if the customers at the Royal Bank of Scotland get their way. Customers are making it loud and clear they do not want to be served by Mary and if they are, they will go elsewhere for their services.

Mary responded to the comments from customers, “I’ve already been worried about losing my job because of the recession, but now it’s a near certainty. The public see me every day when I serve them. How can I hide away from that? There’s nothing I can do. How will they react when they see me? This is going to be dreadful. My whole life will be turned upside-down” (source).

I do not think Mary Bale’s apology was sincere. You can read my thoughts about it here.

Thanks, Nancy C, for the story.

Mary Bale, the woman who cold-heartedly dropped a cat in the garbage can, and who was caught on video surveillance, speaks to the media briefly today. She is just chillingly cold.

Mary doesn’t show any shame, remorse, embaressment, or anything emotion that shows she is regretful for what she did. She is, on the contrary, confident which doesn’t bode well for her character, if you ask me, considering what she has done.

The BBC says she released a statement and in it they report that she says, “I cannot explain why I did this, it is completely out of character and I certainly did not intend to cause any distress to Lola or her owners. It was a split second of misjudgement that has got completely out of control.”

I find her statement interesting. Her split second decision “has got completely out of control”. It sounds as if she is insinuating that the “reaction” by people is completely out of control, not her actions. She isn’t saying that she was out of control, is she?

I’m not buying this woman is seriously sorry for her actions. Not one instant. She’s missing the emotions we would expect to see if she is truly regretful as she says and worse, we see arrogance, which should be void if she is regretful, sorry, embarrassed, ashamed, etc.
