  • You can't scare me.... I have a toddler.

    So the store is having an ultra crazy, three combo sale to get rid of everything summer. I hate sales because it drags out the crazies....

    Summer clothes are ringing up $2. Pretty cheap, huh? No!
    This extra large woman was trying to buy this extra small bikini. Normally priced at $15, it rang up $2....

    SC: It's supposed to be a dolla!!
    Me: No. It's two dollars and tax. You're saving thirteen dollars already.
    SC: I want it for a dolla!!
    Me: You can have it for two dollars and tax.
    SC: I WILL COME ACROSS THIS COUNRER AND CUT YOU! I WILL TAKE A BITE OUT YOUR FACE! I WILL STOMP A MUDHOLE IN YOU! I WANT IT FOR A DOLLA!!
    Me: Ma'am, stop yelling at me. I have a toddler so your threats aren't scary. Now, that'll be two dollars and tax, please.
    SC: Fine!
    No ma'am. I'm sorry, I cannot control the temperature. We're in hell, that's why.

    And that your honor is when I called the police and made some popcorn to enjoy while they were beating the shit out of her after she resisted arrest.

      Ya, at the point where she started with the threats, I would have swept all of the merchandise she had off the counter (out of her reach) and told her she wouldn't be purchasing anything here today, or indeed ever again as she was now trespassed from the store and that if she wasn't out of the store by the time the police arrived that she would be arrested to boot, then picked up a phone and called the police. That sort of behavior is NEVER acceptable, especially in public, and doubly especially from an adult. And in this insane world, you can't assume such threats are empty. All too often (and increasingly often) they are not.

          Haha. Lol. People get so crazy during sales. It is kinda scary since you're right, not all threats are empty but don't show fear, they smell it. One guy, after twenty minutes of screaming and cussing, told me I'mma come across this counter. I told him, you gonna limp back. Btw. He was mad because I hit the keys wrong and made the product twenty CENTS LESS than it was supposed to be and the register wouldn't let me fix it. Ugh
          No ma'am. I'm sorry, I cannot control the temperature. We're in hell, that's why.

            Holy shit, that kind of abuse is just not acceptable. Why do people have to be so mean?

              I would think that was unbelievable except that my sis had the same argument once with a customer when she worked at Kohl's. T-shirts marked way down; customer had one marked $1 and one marked $2. She demanded the $2 shirt be marked down to $1.

              Sis didn't cave and customer paid the $2, grumbling all the while. But at least she didn't make threats.

                Your SC's rant reminded me of something. When I first started at *big box retail*, I was told about a cashier at one of our sister stores that jumped over the counter and bit a customer's face. Yeah, you read that right, the cashier bit a customer's face.

                I don't find the rant one bit funny. It's dangerous.

                  It wasn't funny at first, but now after the fact, it's funny. As big as the woman was, in highly doubt she could ever get over my counter anyway

                      You're assuming that the SC was going to wear it herself and wasn't buying it for someone else.
                      I'm trying to see things from your point of view, but I can't get my head that far up my keister!

                        Times like this, I'm glad I usually have a very sharp pair of scissors within my reach...
