When, the customer says something....and you take it personally. And not stuff like, them calling you names, or just being a jerk...but other stuff.
Customer came up, wanted to check the price of an item. Turns out, the price was more than he thought--because there was a sign NEAR the item that confused him. He whines..."YOU NEED TO FIX THE SIGN".
ME? Why do I need to fix the sign? I didn't put the sign there.
So I told him..he wasn't satisfied with my response (which was actually delivered with much surprise...like, wtf would this guy demand that I fix the sign? And who the hell is he?)
It was then I realized, I really needed to go home. Luckily for me, it was near the end of my shift anyway. I think if it had been near the beginning, I might have some great story, but I don't. Just of me being this close to hitting a guy--over him being upset that the price was more than he thought. lol
(Of course, then the brat [grown man, btw, I'm sure gainfully employed...nice enough man...] started to RE-ARRANGE! "Maybe you should move this a little more this way...". and proceeded to pull the display away from where the sign was. {the sign was between two things, it referred to the things in front and behind it. It was sandwhiched between them. The offending items were to the side...and I actually understand the confusion, but he was such a brat about it})
Just, I was ready to scream before he started to rant.
The good part is...he was the only crappy customer ALL DAY LONG!
But apparently, 1 is enough to push me over the edge. Or at least much much closer to it. I was teetering....TEETERING! ANd just about to go over, when yay, the shift was over and I got to go home.
