  • Temper Tantrum

    I had this gem happen to me today.

    I was stopped by a customers while I was getting ready to leave my home store and head to another. This customer wanted six pairs of boys tennis shoes (i.e. two pair for each of her boys.) She is complaining because "The boxes are hard to read. Ahhh no, sorry lady the shoes are clearly marked and have the size and color in three languages.

    She finally figures out what she wants and we do not have some of the sizes she wants. She then ASKS me to check and see if one of the other stores have them (important later). I then go back and grab the scanner to locate the inventory at this point Awesome Manager for this store comes up and she reiterates her complaints the she gave me (too hard to read). I come up and scan the ones she has and find that one of the other stores in town (15 minutes away) has the shoes.

    I am on my way to that store to do a hand carry transfer and will be back after that. If she could go and get some lunch we would have it with in the hour. Awesome way to go, the employees are going out of their way whoo hoo.

    Ahhh no this lady stamps her foot and says BUT I WANT THEM NOOOOW!!! I don;t wanna come back, it's too hard. Wow lady my toddler could not have done better. Awesome Manager and I are looking at each other like this

    Lady leaves with out her shoes.

    No pleasing some people!
    And some people obviously do not appreciate above and beyond.
    Adult tantrums are sometimes hilarious though.

          I also want things I can't have.
          I'm sure her boys are going to grow up to be whiny bastards as well.
          Excuse me, good sir paladin, can you direct me to your EVIL district?

              Somebody on the Etiquette Hell website posted a story about witnessing a full-on, screaming-on-the-floor temper tantrum...

                It was the "principle" of the matter.

                  Don't ever believe for one second that reaching adult age means you're done with tantrums.

                  Some of the best fist clenching, foot stomping, wide open agape mouth screaming tantrums I have ever witnessed have been thrown by men my father's age, and a couple of women my step grandmother's age, and one by a 30something year old mom with toddlers in tow!

                  Can you imagine if we could deal with adult tantrums like kids'?

                  I'm picturing a manager dragging some adult woman out of the store by her ear, her face beet red, screaming at the top of her lungs and pounding her fist against the floor screaming "BAIT AND SWITCH!"

                      Well see, she was trying to embarass her kids by showing them how they look when they throw a tantrum, therefore letting them know not to do it again.

                        I would seriously pay good money to see that.
