    "This guy's Mandrake...!"

    [cookies for ref]

    Some guy in one of our motorized Mart Carts asked me if I wanted to follow him out and collect it in the lot when he was done with it, so I told him I'd be right with him once I was finished bagging for another customer. I finished, went up to the break room to grab my coat (it's frigging FREEZING out there right now ), came back all of SIXTY SECONDS later...and the guy is GONE. And everyone knows how slow those Mart Carts are. Went to both entrances to have a peek outside, no customer or cart anywhere in sight. It's annoying enough whenever a handicapped or overwhelmed customer requests assistance outside, and leaves by the time I get my coat, but it's like this dude vanished into thin air. You want some assistance? STAY PUT until I get back, goddammit.

      No you walked to where you got it you can put it back and walk from it.

      Sarcasm dear, sarcasm. I’m well aware that dealing with civilians in any capacity will skin your faith in humanity alive, then pickle anything that remains so as to watch it shrivel up into an immortal husk thus reminding you of how dead inside you now are.

        I get that regularly on the rare questions where I have to find J. Most people wearing some shade of black doesn't help...I'm not asking everyone in the area wearing a black puffy coat "were you looking for X?" Stay where I tell you. And don't follow me while I'm looking for him, I don't necessarily know exactly where he is.

            It's actually a line from an 80's action movie.

                Before we got headsets at the fabric store, if I needed to find someone I had to wander around to find them. All the time a customer would ask if there was an employee who knew *insert specific craft here.* I'd say "actually yes, let me go find her!" and when I got back with said employee in tow, the customer was gone. Or better yet, they were up front at the register complaining that no one was available to help them.

                This happened even if I only needed to walk two aisles over, and the customer was out of sight for less than 10 seconds. Why ask for help then literally run the opposite direction?? Oh right, because they're a SC, that's why.
                Replace anger management with stupidity management.
