I'm still in shock over how STUPID this was.
A woman comes in today to return a hose. It's kinking, it's supposed to be a non-kink hose, that's an alright reason to return in my book, I've got no issue with it.
Now those who have returned used hoses know that no matter how much you try, there will ALWAYS be an ungodly amount of water left in them, and people always return them completely bare, not even in a bag, and get water all over the floor, causing me to get a wet floor sign and clean up after it before someone slips and we get sued.
ANYWAY...
This lady has the hose in a big heavy-duty trash bag. I'm thinking to myself, "Good, no mess this time."
How wrong I was.
When I finished the return, I pick up the bag with the hose...
SC: "Excuse me? I want my bag back."
I think she's kidding. She's DEAD SERIOUS. She wants her 25 cent trash bag back...
SO, I grab another trash bag from under the counter, and proceed to take the hose out of her trash bag, and put it in mine. No matter how careful I am, water gets everywhere, all over the desk and behind my desk. I'm mad, but at least it's easier to clean up when the mess is behind the desk. I hand back her trash bag...
Me: "Careful, there's still a lot of water in it..."
This next part was not done out of rudeness. This was not done out of spite. This lady had not been mean or rude or anything throughout the whole transaction, she was just acting normal (although cheap). She did this like this was any normal thing, out of sure stupidity and she was obviously not taught any sort of manners growing up...
SHE FLIPS THE TRASH BAG UPSIDE DOWN AND DUMPS ALL THE WATER IN THE TRASH BAG ALL OVER THE FLOOR RIGHT IN FRONT OF BOTH REFUNDS REGISTERS. This was no accident, because she then SHAKES it, to make sure ALL the water is now out of the bag, folds her bag, and leaves. The people behind her are looking at her like she's NUTS, and they later tell me I had a look on my face like I was going to kill her. The puddle was seriously 5-6 feet wide...
...seriously, our door is 5 STEPS AWAY from the desk. WHY did she dump the bag of water ALL OVER THE FLOOR when she could have done that outside?!?!?
Because God tests my patience against going postal.
And it took me 10 minutes to clean up her mess before I could start helping the people behind her (who so kindly offered to help me and made fun of that crazy lady quite loudly).
