This is my first post.
I work at a very high end retail store. That being said, we get a lot of well to do's, most of them are fine, and every once in a while we get some jerk who thinks he's better than us just because he has money. Here is one of my most miserable experiences:
1. Starring me and SC(evil old Southern man!) plus SC's Wife (SCW):
me: Can I help you?
SC: I need a wallet for my lady and not just any wallet, I need blah, blah type
me: Sir, they don't make that anymore. Here's one similar
SC: Do you have a man I can talk to? I know they make them still
me: (fuck you, fuck you, FUCK YOU you sexist prick!) One moment (At this point, I get the owners son, and he tells the guy that SAME THING!
)
SC: Well I'll buy the similar one, but I want a new one from the back!
me: fine ( heads to stock room)
(Right as I'm going to the back, SC yells "WOMAN!", I turn around and see SC is yelling at me! )
me: (grumble) yes.....sir?
SC: My lady needs a ladies wallet, let her look before you go to the back
me: OK, what type would you like?
SCW: (looks at wallet, looks at husband, looks at wallets again, looks at husband) Well what type do you think I need?
SC: If you don't know, you don't need one, go ahead and sit in the car while I finish up, woman.
(AND SHE LEAVES!How she takes it, I'll never know.
Finally, I get this SOB's wallet and start to ring him up, and he grabs a silver bookmarker by the register, telling me his wife likes SHINY things! I'm getting very close to slugging the dude by this point. I ring up his order, he pays, I hand him his receipt, counting down the seconds until he leaves, and then....)
SC: Excuse me
me: Sir?
SC: I don't know where you were raised, but here in the South, we thank the customer for shopping. Now I see you're a young thing, but if you want people to come back, you need to learn a thing or two!
(Ok, by this point, its fight or flight, I choose flight!)
me: Yes sir, thank you for your business, have a nice day! (I then pretend to hear someone calling me from the back of the store and high tail it!)
I haven't seen him again and it's been over a year. Hopefully he moved to a Northern state and he tried to correct the ladies sales clerk and she punched him out!!

As for the SC...that would've taken every bit of strength in me to not want to 
him! I wonder why is it that his wife is such a doormat to him?! Sexist assholes like him piss me off! 
) With that said, if he pulled that crap here, he'd get his ass kicked, and/or tossed out of the store
