  • WTH are you throwing at me?

    So i'm at the register doing paperwork, and a woman slams her hand onto the counter, almost breaking our glass counter. "I DEMAND TO SEE A MANAGER!!" I ask whats up before I ring the manager.

    She then throws a folded piece of paper at me. I dodge it and yelled at her. "Don't you throw paper at me lady!! Whats your problem?"

    "I WANT YOU TO GET YOUR DAMN MANAGER," she utters. I ring for the manager, and both the Manager and AM come up.

    I mange to tell that the SC threw a piece of paper at me and demanded for a manager before bitch lady began to utter crap. "I FOUND THAT PIECE OF PAPER IN YOUR KID SECTION!!" she bellows, pointing to the paper on the ground. Manager is not impressed as she tells the lady to either calm down or Security is called (And it just so happens an aisle away, LP guy is watching very closely the situation happening).

    AM and I open the paper, and our faces betrayed what was on the paper. As the lady tries to manage a basic sentence with the Manager, LP guy comes behind, and glances at the paper. He then scoots over to the manager, and interrupts the lady.

    He then tells the lady if she doesn't want to be arrested on harassment charges, she apologizes for the thrown paper right now and we can start anew and figure out the situation. The lady refuses to even apologize but still wants us to "Do somethign about it." The manager then takes a look at the paper. She then tells the lady to either apologize, or she calls Mall Security to escort her out. She eventually gives a baseless apology after Mall Security threatens to ban her from the mall for a month because of the paper. And manages to make a "complaint" on what she finds in the kids section.

    Without going into explicit detail, what she threw at me was a computer printout of two Humanoid Muscular Animals engaging in "sexual activities." Namely, the Feline female Humanoid being....."poked" by the Pegasus Male looking creature. And the feline complaining she can't "release." Nothing from any books i've seen in Kids.

    While I sympathize with her over such material being accessible to kids, she could've at least reported it properly to us instead of being a bitch and throwing stuff at me. Too bad I couldn't have her arrested for assault. I could've gotten a paper cut!!

    I bet she printed the nasty out herself, then "found it" just so she'd finish off her day happy by being a bitch.

      Oh, noes, not teh yiff picture!

      *looks at the picture* "... meh... okay, it's adult. However, it certainly wasn't from one of our books, and it certainly wouldn't go in the kids' section, it would go in the manga."

          Didn't she have something better to do than complain about something trivial? Reminds me of the time that I was checking this lady out at the register at Wal-Mart & she got pissed cause the latest Cosmopolitan Magazine had a mention about ORGASMS right on the cover. So what did she do? She turned the magazine around & yelled at me & said..."You should know better than to dsplay this crap where kids can see it!!" I said..."I'm not the one who sets up the magazines". She said..."I DON'T CARE!! You Work here! Take care of it!!" I was like stunned.

            How many little kids even know what that "orgasms" means?

                Unfortunately, in a bookstore that has a children's department, it's inevitable that some "inappropriate material" is going to find it's way into Kids' one way or another. If it's not teens who think it's funny (the Sex section is only 2 aisles away from the entrance to Kids' in Store2 and teens often sit in the chairs near the train set and look at whatever they dam well please), it's someone accidentally dropping something on their way to the bathrooms (in Store2 you have to walk through Kids' to get there). From the description of the paper, it sounds like this is likely the case...some customer had it in their pocket and dropped it. Not the store's fault and it's not like you can be expected to catch every little thing that gets dropped on the floor within 5 seconds of its being dropped...

                Bright_Star, your Cosmo lady sounds like the guy who used to come in and look at car magazines, and complain about the ones that featured women in tiny bikinis, saying they are porn and shouldn't be out on the floor where kids can see them. He'd complain to anyone who would listen (IOW, whoever was trapped at the info desk) and go on and on and on about it. Finally he got the manager who told him what we were all thinking and afraid to say: "If you don't like it, don't look at it. And stop harassing the employees because there's nothing we can do about it." That manager rocked.

                  Why didn't we ever get anything interesting "dropped" it was only pamphlets for various branches of christianity, photos of people's dogs, but nothing fun like that. It would have been the funniest thing to get that in my store, since my sucky manager would have had a heart attack, and my cool manager would probably post it in the back in the manager's office as "Creepiest shit ever found." Also, I'm gonna need that picture back. It's for a..... project.... yeah, we'll go with that.
                  It is inaccurate to say that I hate everything. I am strongly in favor of common sense, common honesty, and common decency. This makes me forever ineligible for public office.

                    Once we found porn star trading cards randomly placed around the store. We found about 5 of them before any customers did. They were pretty hardcore, so we slipped them into our bosses coat pockets. Sure his wife was happy, if not, I'm sure his sons were.

                      I have a copy of the image in question. We're keeping it just in case bitch lady tries to say otherwise.

                      BUT, seeing the TOS here forbids anything pornographic, suck salt.

                              I had to deal with live action porn, I don't know what's so romantic about getting it on in a arena parking lot but I caught many couples doing it. We had a codeword for this thing too, "two dogs locked in a car." A parent overheard me say it and ask about the dogs with the little kid being giddy about seeing dogs until I told the parent what it really meant.*

                              *: I used a discreet method of course.
