Flavor is not a brand

[Trixie]

Had an old guy come into my line with two name brand pizzas. They were not on sale so the total was $15.

He did not like that price because they should be 2 for $9. No, those are our store brand.

I go back to the cooler and he shows me the tag for our brand. "See it says supreme!"

I try to explain the difference between flavor and brand. Brick wall. I'm done. I go back up front and call the manager. Old man name drops store manager's name who is at a meeting. We wait for manager who is stuck in pharmacy working (which is a whole other rant).

Old man keeps telling me the register is wrong, blah blah blah. It's not my fault but the register is wrong. I say I have nothing to do with prices. Old man say he just said that I had nothing to do with prices but it's still wrong.

Manager comes up, I walk away. They go back to the cooler. I go on about my work.

Happy ending though...old man leaves without any pizza.

Supreme winning!

I bet you he knew full well what he was doing. It just didn't pan out for him like it might at other places.

What you did there, I see it.

Your pun is really thin there..

Your pun is really thin there..

I was going to tell you to get stuffed, but I thought you might be cut up about it. Top that!

PS to the OP - I like a story with a happy ending. It could only have been better if the old man bought the pizzas at the correct price and acknowledged that you were correct. That would have been supreme!

We have seen too many stories of places that would have given in to him just to get rid of the old guy hanging around and ranting.

And as for name dropping, did he really know the manager or did just get the name from somewhere and thought you would give in?

[Trixie]

I'm glad the old fart walked out of there with nothing. He's regular customer so it's possible he knows the manager.

But there has been an uptick of crusty old customers coming in lately.

[TheWolfEmperor]

Well, if your store is anything like mine, the manager's name and face is plastered in the lobby with the name in big block letters.

Alternatively, it's probably printed at the top of the receipt. It's possible he does know the manager, on the other hand I go to plenty of stores where I know the name of the manager without having any sort of relationship that would land me brand name frozen pizza at house brand prices.

[Trixie]

My coworkers who are locals seem to have connections to most of the customers so it is possible he knows her somehow. If she was there she may have given it to him for the price he wanted but luckily the manager on duty doesn't have time for bullshit like that.

What a moron. If you can't tell the difference between a brand and the flavour type, go home before you trip and hit your head (again).

Those crusty old guys make retail fun
Sounds like one of those people when I ask what kind of car they have they say "RED"

Looks like Rosco has met some of Argabarga's customers.

Ya know I think at this point we've ALL had the same customers!
