So today I got a phone call saying someone had called out and they ask me if I could come in an hour earlier than scheduled. I live about 4.5 miles form work but was in another area running some errands. I would need to stop at home and then go to work. Well, for some reason their huge was a traffic backup (one of th lights on a main road was broken and wouldn't give anyone a green, all sides had a red) I ended up sitting in slowly moving traffic for about 15 minutes before a cop went by, thru the grassy median at like 50 MPH and got traffic moving.
I knew this would put me behind and called work to tell them. I get in about 5-7 mins. late and punch in. In reality that left my dept. with no one on for about 5 minutes, which was no big deal since it was dead. As I walk up to the dept I see that they did what they were supposed to do, put up closed sighs and shut off the back room lights. Their are TWO SC's at the register, standing in front of the closed sign. As I approach...
(keep in mind I work in a supermarket with plenty of registers in the front AND individual registers in, depend on the store, floral, bakery, deli)
S(ucky)C2: Hey, we need some service here.
Me: I am sorry about the wait a emergency came up and the other clerk had to leave early.
SC2: Just ring up my stuff. You should tell customers that, uh, no one is here.
Me: Sir, the lights are off and we have several closed signs up.
S(tupid)C1: But how is that telling me anything.
Me: If a closed sigh is up that means no one is working at that register.
SC1: oh.
Me: your total is $XX.XX
SC1 hands me money and I give them change, they start to walk away...
SC2: *exactly as he said it*You know what, gimme my money back. You was , ra- rac-, uh, racist. Yo closed to daswinanate against n*****s.
Me: sir, As i said an emergency came up and I was ca...
SC1 backs away
SC2: You HAVE to give me my money back.
Me: Sir, you can only get you money back if you take the muffins you dropped on the ground to the service deSk and ask for a refund.
SC2: That wrong an R-A-C-I-S
Me: sir I have given you your options. You can take you food or go to Service desk and get a refund.
SC2: So I see <company> supports and hires racists.
With that I walked over the the phone and paged the MOD to tell him what happened. No only did I get to deal with stupid people, but when I gently point out their errors they pull the race card.
