Last week I was in one of the local supermarket picking up few items. I was near the bakery and saw the clerk putting out some fresh bread. I decided to grab a loaf. it was still warm and very soft. A older grumpy man grabs one and stomps over the counter.
OGM: Hellloooooooooo! Helllooooooooo!
Employee: Can I help you?
OGM: *thrust bread towards employee*
E: Do you want that sliced?
OGM: Yes! What did you think?
E: *takes bread* Sir, this is still too warm to slice. It will just get crushed. I have few I just sliced about 10 minutes go out if you want one of those.
OGM: Now, young man, I have been around for 73 years. If I say slice this bread you better do it!
The employee slices it. I was able to watch from the side while I pretended to browse and could see the bread go from 6" high to about two. The clerk bags up this pathetic bread and hand it to OGM.
OGM: What the hell it this!!!? It's all crushed. Keep slicing bread until you can do it right. I don't care if it takes every damn loaf.
E: Sir, let me get a manager.
OGM: Fine, you wimp!
I finally decided to get involved.
Me: Sir, that employee was very polite to you and explained what would happen if he sliced that loaf of bread. You refused to listen and got a poor quality product. I will gladly stick around when the manager comes to tell them what happened, should your story be different.
OGM: Even the customers at <store> are assholes! I see you all hate old people!
He stomps out leaving behind a cart with 30-40 items in it. The manager arrives a minute or two later and after the employee tells them who it is, they blow it off. Seems OGM is a raging asshole all the time who only come out trying to get discounts because they don't/never had a senior citizen discount.
