Tom is a big joker. One day, while sitting at the lunch table with several coworkers, he made a joke about the old clothes that his coworker, John, was wearing. John didn’t say anything at the time, but it really bothered him. He was having financial difficulties and couldn’t afford new clothes. He started to eat lunch by himself, but it really bothered him because he really enjoyed eating lunch with his coworkers. How should John address the situation?

By addressing the situation, what do you think will happen?
