A woman came in to pay her fines. She owed for some traffic violations for which a jury had fined her the maximum plus the court costs, etc. Not a small amount!
She was angry (understandable) but was huffy/belligerent to the poor cashier who had been serving her. She had trouble accepting the total figure the cashier gave her and demanded to see an itemized statement. The cashier provided it. She then began to challenge every listing and amount.
I was called over to explain everything. (Joy!) After repeating the explanation for a fourth time and even showing her the verdict with the fines, and a run down of the costs, she still insisted the figures were wrong and that she was not going to pay that much.
I finally told her that I had explained everything to her, there was no error in the total, and she either needed to pay or make arrangements to do so.
Her response? She cursed and threw something. Her iPhone 7. It hit the floor. Hard. The screen cracked. The body dented/bent. It stopped working.
She saw what she had done and went hysterical. I just stared. So did everyone else around us.
She picked it up, howled and ran out.
She still is going to have to pay those fines.
