The SC in this story really should know better, what with having to deal with SCs all the time.
For the last week or so we've been running out of the daily newspaper before I arrive at work. My day shift starts at 7:30am. It turned out the culprit was the driver of a lunch van (a van that goes around to construction sites selling food to the workers), who was buying 15-20 papers per day to re-sell to her customers. Either she's an idiot for paying full retail price for stock on which she can make no profit whatsoever, or the customers are idiots for paying more than $1.10 for the local paper.
Anyway, our customers started to complain about the lack of newspapers, so the manager set a new rule - 1 newspaper per person. Which should stop us running out so soon (and indeed it seems to be working).
But the lunch van driver's not happy about it. She stomped off with her one newspaper yesterday morning. Today she called the store and (being an idiot) thought the night shift guy was the manager and started trying to talk him into letting her buy more newspapers. When that didn't work she started getting abusive, so he hung up on her. She called back and abused him for hanging up on her, so he hung up on her again. She called back when the manager was there and tried to claim discrimination, but the manager knew the full story. So she started getting abusive and *he* hung up on her after suggesting that if she doesn't change her attitude she won't be welcome in our store anymore.
