A lot of the service clerks (or baggers) at my store are older gentlemen who do the job just to give them something to do and/or pay for insurance. One of them, we'll call him Jim, was outside this morning bringing in carts, when he notices a lady pull up in a Toyota Tundra and proceed to take up three parking spaces close to the front of the store. When she got out, he approached her.
Jim: "Ma'am, couldn't you just take up one parking space instead of three?"
Sucky woman: "Who the HELL do you think you are?!"
Jim: "Oh, well, I just push carts, bag groceries, things like that."
SW: "Fine, I'll just go somewhere else then!"
After getting a good look at his name tag, she drove off. An hour or so later, Jim is approached by the store manager.
SM: "Hey, Jim, did you tell a lady this morning that she shouldn't be taking up three parking spaces with her truck?"
Jim: "Why yes I did."
SM: "Heh, good for you. She was a bitch."
Yes, she called the store manager and told him what had happened, fully believing that Jim was the one in the wrong and not her. I don't imagine Mr. Manager was too sympathetic with her, judging by his conversation with Jim.
I *heart* my managers.
