You RUINED my daughters birthday you bastard!

[candyshopgirl]

Why didn't she just buy the game somewhere else and return the unwanted game the next day.....oh wait that would be the non idiot moron customer way.

[South Texan]

SC: My husband was in there earlier today buying a couple of games for my daughter and one of them was the wrong one, my daughter already has it.

SC: I hope you feel pretty damned bad about yourself because now I have to explain to my daughter why she can't get her game, you ruined her party you BASTARD!

Riiiiiiiight.

DAD buys the wrong game, but it is the store employee's fault that the birthday is ruined.

Gotta love that SC logic.

I would be willing to bet there would be a Wal-Mart or something similar nearby that stays open later than 6 on Sunday that sells games. Just go somewhere else! The idea of renting the game was a good one. Although that also makes sense....

Once you've closed:

Never open the door.

Don't answer the phone unless it could be your boss or corporate.

Don't acknowledge the person unless they threaten to break down the door, at which point you pick up the phone and mouth that you're dialing 9-1-1.

This. That way she couldn't have even called to complain that you were rude in the first place.

God, the nerve of some people.

No, she probably would've still called, because ignoring her is the ULTIMATE insult.

"Your clerk is so rude! They She/he refused to acknowledge my presence, even though I called ahead of time and asked about an exchange, when I got there, nothing! What kind of people do you have working for you rabblerabblerabblerabble etc etc etc..."

Though I have in mind "Addams Family Values" where Stacy (?)

Debbie, Jellinsky, the black widow murderess.

Debbie, Jellinsky, the black widow murderess.

Damn, beat me to it. Morticia and Gomez are my role models.

[CrazedClerkthe2nd]

Oh I should add there is a 24 Hour Wal-Mart ONE BLOCK AWAY from the store.

[Tito]

SC: Fine, I'm going, but I'm never shopping here again

Translation:

I'll be in the same time next week, and will find something else to bitch & moan about....

That SC needs to learn that lack of planning on her part does not constitute an emergency on the store's part. Maybe next time, she'll plan ahead.

At least the manager sided with you. That's a huge plus. Still, it must have sucked having to deal with that.

In my experience, most of the time when adults insist that their child's birthday, holiday, vacation, etc is "Just RUINED!", the kid couldn't care less. It's the adult's idea of what the vacation or birthday was supposed to be like that is ruined. Generally, the kids would be just as happy playing with cardboard boxes and running around in circles.

Either the boxes or better still: BUBBLE WRAP. I have a CW who admits to fighting her kids for it. A 24 hour Wally World in the same zip code somehow doesn't surprise me.

I made my kids delirious with a refridgerator box full of styrofoam packing peanuts. (I did have to roundup the escapees for the next week)

Your only mistake was opening the door. If it was one of my guys I would say yell through the glass and if they don't leave let them stand there.

I think I'll do this next time, the only reason I did this time is because she kept banging on the damned glass and annoying the hell out of me, but I should learn to stop letting SCs get to me like that.
