Over a Dollar

[bubblelittlepally]

I was at my local Goodwill picking up some Gamegear Games when I witnessed two SCs. They were buying a pair of tennis shoes that were $ 5.00. Apparently, all men's shoes are $ 4.00 and all tennis shoes are $ 5.00 and they were arguing with the cashier about this since they were men's tennis shoes. Eventually, they just pay the $ 5.00 for the shoes with a $ 100.00 bill. The cashier apologized and states that he dose not have enough change and if they have a smaller bill or a different form of payment. This really pissed off the customer and his wife who immediately start yelling over how inconvenient this is for them. He had smaller bills and paid for the shoes, but refused to leave. Instead, he stood at the counter and called their corporate office to complain. While he was on his phone, his wife made physical threats toward the cashier (who was a good 6''6) and stated that if he came out from behind the register she would "knock his head off". Now, if this were my store and someone said that to my employee I would kick them out of the store. If they didn't leave, I would call the police and have them arrested for making threats.

After paying for my item, I slowly walked out and continued watching these two. The store manager ignored them while he pounded repeatedly on the counters and yelled at whoever was on the other end of the phone. At one point, a gentleman came up to him and offered to make changed for his $100 but he refused.

The way they were acting, something is really wrong with them. They obviously need some kind of help or were on some kind of substance.

...or were on some kind of substance.

Yeah, boo. The ego kind.

Or they are just really that selfish, self-motivated, and were never disciplined as children.

I know, a friend of a friend acted a lot like that when I refused to follow his command just because of his say-so. (Basically he acted like the ring-leader and always told the group what we were doing, rather than asking what we'd like to do. I don't put up with that kind of crap, nor do I "just let things slide" in order to avoid an argument.)

This was at a GOODWILL, so the $1 he was trying to chisel would have come out of money going to a charitable cause. Sounds like Karma was asleep at the switch that day - would have served him right if he'd accepted the offer to make change, and the "gentleman" in question had been someone in the business of passing counterfeit $20 bills.

Karma doesn't sleep - she just bides her time.....

Really? She seems to work on me a lot, but I've yet to see her take down anyone that's done me wrong in my whole life.

Good grief, but this sounds like this one asshole that used to come the pharmacy I worked at. He got told something he didn't like once that came down from his insurance provider. He got on the phone with them and proceeded to scream at the poor sod on the other end. He was scaring customers that were near him and we could see other people coming to investigate what was going on. You could hear him clear across the store and this was a Wally World Supercenter!

We were always afraid he was going to give himself a stroke and more than a few times, we hoped he would.

Pagan, the defib paddles don't go on his cheeks...

Yes, I know it's his mouth having a seizure, but that not what they're intended for...

As much as we'd like to see the effects...

Ah, you're labouring under the misapprehension that it's only this life that counts...

Don't worry about it too much.
The last person to try on those shoes had a wicked case of athlete's foot combined with ring worm.

yup.

My wife wanted to know what caused my coughing fit. Well done.
