I heard that!!!! (you idiot....)

[Dave1982]

Last night I approached a group of three guys to see if they needed any assistance. They were in front of the MP3 accesories section.

Idiot #1: Do you have iPods?

Me: Sorry, but we do not carry iPods.

Idiot #2 (snidely): Wel then what do you call THIS? *points to display for a JBL iPod dpeaker dock, which has an iPod nano in it.*

Me: That was supplied by JBL as part of the demo unit. We don't sell iPods.

Idiot #1: It's fake?

Me: It's real.

Idiot #2: It think it's fake

Idiot #3: No, it's real.

Idiot #2 (to Idiot #1): You should try to take it.

Idiot #1: Are you SURE you don't have iPods?

Me (angry now, and not bothering to hide the sarcasm): Yes I'm SURE we don't have iPods!

*Idiot Trio starts to walk away*

Me: And don't joke about stealing stuff!!!!!!

Idiot #1 (angry): Excuse me?!?!?!?

Me: You heard me! I said DON'T JOKE ABOUT TAKING STUFF!

*they walk away*

Seriously folks. How stupid do you have to be to openly suggest stealing something right in front of an employee? Despite the stereotype, we aren't stupid, nor are we deaf. I was right there and I heard everything they said. Not that I was willing to give them the benefit of the doubt, but even if they were joking, that's not funny.

After they vacated the department I made a beeline for the Manager on Duty, pointed them out to her, and filled her in on what had happened. She was dumbfounded, but took no action other beyond keeping an eye on them. They wound up buying something and leaving a few minutes later.

Had a customer and his girlfriend (I think she was his girlfriend...) bring a stack of the absolutely horrid, cheap hentai to my register before West County closed. I ask both for ID, as I'm not that great at guessing ages.
Girl produces ID easily. I look at guy, "And now your's?"
Guy goes beet red. "Why should you need to see my ID? She's buying these."
"And you're standing at the counter, you're party to the transaction, plus, I saw YOU looking through the adult stuff."
"Why should you need my ID?"
And round and round we go. Guy decides to stomp out of the store after finally producing his ID for me, and on the way out the door, mutters, "This girl's an asshole."
To which I say, "Why, thank you sir. I could hear you."
Guy, apparently shocked, says, "Yup." and leaves.
I turn to girl and tell her, "Just so you know, I could've refused this transaction when he refused to show his ID, but you complied. So, let him know he almost cost you your adult titles." And rang her through.
