Customer Called Place I Was Eating At To Complain About Me

[purplecat41877]

Today, a customer called the place I was eating at and requested to speak to me. The employee handed the phone to me and the customer asked me if I knew who she was and I remembered her from the grocery store a block from the place I was eating (same grocery store I work for but I work in another location). She told me that she didn't appreciate the look I gave her when I came in the door (thought I just glanced but she told me that I gave her an angry look). She told me that she was a customer and that's all she was.

So... now we're not only being bugged on our lunch breaks, and not only being bugged on our lunch breaks when we're not in the store, but we're being bugged on our lunch breaks when we're not in the store via telephone?!

Fuck this world, man...

WTF???
That's just nuts.

[Irving Patrick Freleigh]

That would earn a screamed "I'M ON MY FUCKING LUNCH BREAK!" from me, but since the caller has already identified me as me, I guess that's out.

[Pimento]

I'd refuse to serve her from now on and maybe inform your manager. That's a whole new level of insane

[MoonCat]

I probably would have said I had no idea who she was. People like that aren't as important as they think they are.

She was no longer a customer, given that neither you nor she were in the store any more. You had every right to light right into her for being a complete twat waffle for waiting until you were outside of the company's ability to punish you for whatever she imagined you did wrong. Then I'd have told the employee and their manager that as their customer, I didn't appreciate the phone being handed to me, as I have a cell phone and any one that needs to contact me, can contact me via it.

Just ugh.

I would inform my boss, refuse to serve her, and see about making a case for harassment. That is unfuckingbelievable. Completely out of line!!

Patiokitty is right...this is stalking
Definitely inform the management team and the local authorities.

[Captain Trips]

In agreement here. She tracked you down to where you were eating (how?), then proceeded to harass you there.

Stalking, harassment, and possibly other illegal acts were involved. At the least, drop the ban-hammer.

I hope your boss and workplace back you up on this. That 'customer' might be unstable and they have a legal obligation to make sure you are safe at work. Document if you have issues with the person both while at work out, and if it's while you're not at work, I would call the police so there is a record of this person following you. Good luck, be safe.

Whoa, total stalking issue here. If I'm reading your post right, it sounds like you work at store A and were a block away from store B. Were you filling in at store B and she made a point to follow you on your lunch break?

[EricKei]

*read up* Yeah. What they said. That is exceedingly stalkerrific. This twit tracked you down OFF THE CLOCK, disrupted your day/time, disrupted the restaurants business, etc, to make a petty complaint that nobody cares about. Is there any way to identify her so that you can arrange to have her banned, ideally with a threat to call police for harassment/stalking?

[Evannah]

That's absolutely insane! Who the heck does she think she is?!

[Sapphire Silk]

This woman has a serious malfunction if she spent so much time obsessing over an imagined slight she just HAD to track the OP down to bitch at her.

She's whacked. Call the police.
