Just kill me already
Woo! First day of Super Duper Uber Mega Super Stupendous Lowest Prices of the Season and I've already gotten an ass-ripping the likes of which I haven't had in years! If this is a portent of things to come, I'm just going to stick my head in the oven.
I was on the floor filling autopull from this morning. I got called over to electronics to help some people with the GPS systems. The electronics specialist was ringing up a customer.
The people with the GPS's decided to just look around, so I turned to leave. Electronics specialist had to leave the register to go grab something for the customer he was checking out.
"JESUS CHRIST!"
Well gee, somebody either just found religion or is a tad cranky!
Turned out some crotchety old skinbag who woke up on the wrong side of the coffin this morning was mad because he needed help with something, and we wouldn't help him! Aren't we just rude and unprofessional? The guy save most of his yelling for the electronics specialist, but he got in a few shots at me. "Who is he? Is he your boss?" No, he's just the guy who works back here.
I heard a couple people stifling giggles as they passed. I'll say they were laughing at skinbag making an ass of himself, and let them try to deny it.
I got the guy what he wanted, and he calmed down a bit, but then marched his wrinkly ass right up to the service desk and gave them attitude as well. "I want a manager!" "Is there something I can help you with?" "ARE YOU A MANAGER!"
So then the manager had to come down and figure out what happened, and I said something I probably shouldn't have: "He was rude from the get-go. He got better than he deserved." Electronics specialist and I aren't in any trouble, but we were given a gentle reminder to "make sure we're acknowledging the customer."
And we didn't even know he was there until he started shouting. He was probably only there for a minute or two.
The people I was helping ended up buying two GPS systems at $150 each. The person electronics specialist was checking out purchased six pairs of shoes, among other items. So what item or items in the store did crotchety old skinbag decide to make a spectacle of himself over? A $16 SD card, because it had to be retrieved from a locked peghook.
