About 3 years ago my 3 year old daughter and I ran to walmart for something or another. On our way out, I was returning the shopping cart to the corrals inside the store when one of the greeters told me to be careful, I almost stepped in some spilled juice.
"oh, not a problem" I said. To which a woman customer began to freak out, AT ME.
She says something to the effect of "It most certainly IS a problem. These stupid baggers (points to the greeter??) don't know how to put stuff in a shopping cart. i PAY them to do thier job and they can't do it properly" continues on, pointing at the greeter the whole time. I don't know why she is telling ME this crap, maybe she thinks I will sympathize with her.
What she doesn't know, is I HATE people like her, I'm about nine months pregnant and so not in the mood to listen to her. The poor greeter looks like she's about to cry. So I look at her and say
"for one, the greeter doesn't have a damned thing to do with packing your cart. She's here to say "Welcome to Walmart" and "have a nice day". For you to be b*tching at her already shows your an idiot. Number two, this is WALMART not a full serice grocery. They aren't paid to wait on you hand and foot, they are paid to ring your items and stick them in a bag. if you were so picky you could have stopped standing there doing nothing and packed your own cart to your preferences, instead of making the cashier do it. Number 3, I don't remember speaking to you, I don't remember asking you to jump in on a conversation between me and this lady over here, so I would appreciate it if you would shut the hell up"
lady just looks at me stunned, mouth hanging open and doesn't say a word. I start to walk out the door when my daughter pulls on my shirt, I ask her what she wants and she says as loudly as a three year old can "Mommy, that lady was MEAN"
I still remember that so well, it was the first and the only time I've ever been able to chew a customer out like that
