Deliver-y me from evil

SC=SC
CW=Co Worker
Me=me

<in furniture department>
SC: Hi I'd like one of your futons.
CW: Okay, sir let me get a flatbed cart, and I'll get your futon for you.<to me> Hey Grape can you help me with this carry-out?
Me: Sure.

CW gets the flatbed cart, he and I lift tyhe futon on to it and we accompany the SC up to the front, he pays.

SC: Okay here's my address.
CW: sir, we don't deliver.
SC: What?? How dare you not deliver! It's illegal for you not to deliver!
CW: Sir, I..
SC: Shut up!! Deliver this or I'll call the sheriff and have you arrested! I'm friends with the sheriff and the chief of police! I'll have you arrested!
Me: Sir I'm sorry but me don't...
SC: You mean you won't! I'm gonna get you to fired AND arrested.
SC gets manager
M: Hi how..
SC: Your idiots here say that they cannot deliver this to my home. Fire them! That is an illegal act! It's illegal not to deliver! It's discrimination!
M: Sir, do not insult my employees, they are right, we do not deliver.
SC: Oh, F-ck you all. Jesus!
M: Sir please do not use profanity.
SC: FINE! I'll get my truck! But I'm reporting you all to the police! and the sheriff!
< we load the guy's truck after we place it in, he swings the flat hitting my feet and knock me off balance. I fall.>
SC: That's what you get for not delivering! HA!
M: Sir, leave now! If tou try and hurt one of my associates again I will call the police!
SC: Oh, running to the man are we! Pigs!<speeds off
M: <to me> you okay?
Me: Yeah.
M: You sure you hit your head.
Me: Well, I'll call the paramedics and have you checked out.
<The medics come and , at the end of the day they say i have a mild to moderate concussion> The SC got banned. Corporate upheld his banishment.

ID idiocy
SC: SC
Me: me
CSM: CSM
M: manager

SC: Okay gimme a carton of Newport box 100's.
ME: May I see ID , ma'am?
SC: No!
Me: Than I'm afraid I can't sell you these cigarettes.
SC: Well, in that case here!,shows me high school ID which has no birth date>
Me: I'm sorry, but me can't accept this.
SC: It's ID!!!
Me: I need something that proves you're old enough to buy cigarettes.
SC: F-ck that, I ain't lettin' you steal my identity! I'm i senior and I'm old enough and I'm a customer and the customer is always right!
Me: I'm sorry without a proper ID I can't sell you these.
SC: Get me yo' supervisor!
< I call a CSM>
CSM: Hi..
SC: He won't accept my ID !!
CSM: Grape, why did you refuse to accept her ID.
Me: It has no birth date on it, I cxannot verify her age!
CSM: I know she's old enough! she's my friend!
Me: I can't sell cigarettes without proper ID.
CSM: DO . That's an order!
Me: No.
CSM: Get off the register!
<CSM puts in a birthdate and lets SC have her cigs>
CSM: I'll report you to a manager for insubordination and customer disrespect.

I talk to a manager later and she says not to worry about it, and I did the right thing. The CSM is later fired and arrested for stealing $200 from a co-worker.

Good for you for standing up to the CSM. They want to scan the person through without an ID, they can do it on their login.

Nice that the CSM got his (her) karma.

[notlovinit]

Ugh, that pisses me off that your manager didn't do more about the guy that assaulted you. You had his address and his license plate number, he should have called the police then, not just given the SC a warning. Banning is not enough for idiots like that.

No charges filed? IANAL but seems like a legitimate case to me... some "people"... glad you're ok.

[ShootMePlease]

Fuck that.

The police would have been called and charges would have been filed against that asshole. No job is worth my safety.

As far as the CSM goes, good for you for standing up to them. I would never abdicate my integrity for anyone, boss or not. The company that fires you for following their policies is the one that will bear your name after you sue the shit out of them.

[LillFilly]

I third the motion; the guy should have been arrested, not just banned.

And glad your coworker got her come-uppance!

[Sapphire Silk]

Hope you're doing OK! (Don't know how recent that fall was).

Kudos for your integrity.

What is this I don't even

First off: I'm glad the mild concussion is your only injury!
Second: What an asshole!! Some SC's think we refuse to do things because we hate them. Don't be so dramatic. I don't hate you because I DON'T KNOW YOU. Either way, it's store policy. I would rather lose a customer than lose my job, sorry.
Third: I agree with everyone else. I would have called the cops.

[Irving Patrick Freleigh]

This afternoon I had some older lady asking me about our chests of drawers; specifically if they were pre-assembled. I told her only one was, and it wasn't the one she wanted. She asked if we deliver and I told her no.

Guess I shouldn't even be regaling you with this story. I should be in lockup downtown having kicked the crap out of somebody so all the other inmates aren't fighting over who gets me as a trophy.

[Mongo Skruddgemire]

Is it wrong for me to be vastly amused that the greasy little cockstain of a CSM got bitch-slapped by karma?

[Kogarashi]

SC: FINE! I'll get my truck! But I'm reporting you all to the police! and the sheriff!

Am I the only one who noticed this?

And good on you for standing up to the CSM. I agree with another poster: they want to make you do it without verifying age, especially with someone so SC-ish about it, they can do it under their own login numbers.

The first time is always the hardest...you'll get used to it the more stories you read around here, I'm afraid...

Of course, if you WANT to get it over with, get nice and jaded, thus building up at least a partial immunity, head on over to the (read-only) War Stories forum and put your faith in humanity out of its misery tout de suite...

Am I the only one who noticed this?

I was thinking the same thing -- SC threatens to call the cops (and claims to know all of them ), then tries to call you out for reporting him for something that really IS a crime!

[PepperElf]

SC: That's what you get for not delivering! HA!

BANNED? That's all they did? No police charges? I mean it's obvious he did it on purpose.

I caught that one too. I agree with pressing charges against SC #1. What odds will you give me that SC#2 was, in fact, underage, but a friend of CSM?
