  • Crazy apple juice customer

    I think I found the topping on the crazy customer cake!

    I got asked to do a price check for a jug of apple juice, the lady claims it was $4.99. I figured this would be a routine "customer read the wrong tag" scenario (half of them are!), and reported back that it was not $4.99, but $5.09.

    Lady comes down to the fridge where the juice is, and even after I point out that it is obviously not $4.99, she refused to back down. In fact, she goes on about how this is "misleading" and that she wants to make a complaint about it.

    The whole time during the walk back to the front end, she won't shut the fuck up about the pricing, and she's now testing whatever patience I have. I take her to the nearest person from management so that she can have her say, and it doesn't go as I'd hoped.

    She did go into her complaint about the "misleading" pricing, and then she says something that I had "changed the price tags" (I am not involved with the price tags and have no idea how that stuff works), and actually tried to look for a price tag in my hand (I told management employee that I had put them back, and that I didn't have one in my hand). She wouldn't back down at all over the pricing and after one last thing about me "changing the prices", I was completely tired of her shit and lost my patience with her.

    She actually tried to stop me from resuming my work several times, after the management employee told me he would deal with her and that I was free to go.

    That lady didn't want to be proved wrong at all, did she? *offers cookies*

        Like a cackling villain tying an innocent maiden to the railroad tracks while twirling your mustache, you are obviously part of a wide-ranging conspiracy to sucker this innocent lamb out of TEN WHOLE CENTS. What do you have to say for yourself, Mr. Hurting? (Other than "Bwahaahahahahahahah!!!!")

          Ah yes, someone hiding around the corner, just waiting for an unsuspecting sap to grab that juice, then whammo!, change the tag. Oh no, that's crazy. You're just a grand illusionist and with your masterful slight of hand, you swapped the tags without her even noticing. All for 10 cents. Yeah, that sounds more likely than the possibility that she misread the tag.

          On the subject though, there are some stores that make it pretty misleading. They've got big bins full of stuff and the pre-dominant price tag is for the condiment or whatever that they've got on top of the bin. I've made that mistake on a few occasions, but of course once I realize it, I don't go all crazy conspiracy theory nutjob about it.

            It's sad when you encounter someone so delusional they actually think the world would waste the time to notice them, let alone conspire against them.

              "Lady, if I had that kind of skill at magic, I sure as hell wouldn't be working here." This what I wanted to say when I dealt with the "price change complaints." Apparently, I was able to change the price tags of items, while standing at a register that was across the store from said item.

              Seriously, if I had that form of telekinetics, I think I'd be working further up the food chain than a cashier job! (Or a science experiment, but that's still higher up the food chain...)

                Look, lady, if you can prove I switched the price, I'll pay for your juice...

                    I hate this so much! They are proven wrong, won't accept it, and will try ANYTHING to pin the blame on you even if what's coming out of their mouth is completely irrational.

                          All that over ten cents.

                          It's amazing how little some people value their time. Or their dignity.

                            And yet the thing is, she would still be paying an assload of cash for it when you realize how fast the $0.20 deposit + Canadian taxes add up.

                              Had one lady while I still worked at Random Craft Store get all huffy over a penny. She was buying one of those small, glass jars that are often found in the candle aisle, it rang up at $1 and she started bitching up a storm that it was supposed to be ringing up at .99 instead of $1. Then she started to demand a manager over it, saying that I was overcharging her and a bunch of other stuff.

                              She left right before a manager came over, didn't buy it because we overcharged her by a cent.
