*this isn't actually Petronella. This is Petronella's daughter, who reads Customers Suck just because. Oh, and this happened to my dad*
I am standing in line at Safeway,waiting for them to ring up my purchase, and the only person left in front of me is some woman who seems normal enough. She quietly stands by while the cashier checks her food through. Then she gets to the peaches....
SC:
gee, I wonder
Cashier-poor girl
Bagger-Boy-poor kid
SC:Oh, these peaches are on sale.
Cashier:
xxx type peaches? Are you sure?
SC:YES. There was a SIGN. I'm not STUPID.
C:I don't think-
SC:ARE YOU TRYING TO CHEAT ME?!?!?! YOU ARE TRYING TO CHEAT ME OUT OF MY MONEY!!!!!!! THERE WAS A SIGN THAT SAID THOSE PEACHES WERE XX PERCENT OFF, AND I EXPECT YOU PEOPLE TO HONOUR THAT!!!!!!!!!
C:Um. I could send somebody to check....
SC:YES. And have him bring back the sign. Then I'm going to show it to your manager because you are INCOMPETENT.
The cashier sends a thoroughly terrified bagger-boy to the produce section to look for the sign. SC stands there steaming. I look at the clock.
The bagger-boy comes back signless and probably hoping a bolt of lightning will come and strike him down. Better death than face the wrath of the Peach Woman, who looks ready to explode.
SC:WHERE IS THE SIGN???
Bagger-Boy:There IS no sign for xxx peaches, Ma'am. The sale is only for yyy peaches.
C:I'm sorry, but we can't give you a discount on your current peaches, but if you still want it, it won't take a second to switch the two.
SC:NO! These are good peaches. That's why I took them. I want the discount you promised. This is FRAUD!
C: We can't give you the discount.
SC: All peaches are the same. You should give it to me anyway. You people have terrible customer service!
C:I still can't.
SC:FINE. flounces out
All right, I can understand seeing a sign, not reading the whole thing, and mistaking one peach for another. But making a big scene, screaming, and randomly blaming innocent people is ridiculous.
You really have to wonder about some people.

Just thought I'd give a little piece of trivia for the day.
