I refuse to serve one young man at work. Heres why and what happened with him last night...
Back 3 years or so ago when we has gas pumps and we pumped the gas he got banned because he sped into the lot and did other stupid stuff. Me and the other employees got tired of it so we told him to stay out until he rew up.
After a few months he finally talked to me and promised he was be better behaved so we let him shop there again.
He slowly started going back to his old ways but I hardly ever seen him since I am on midnight shift now. He would come in and act like an ass but then I wouldn't see him for a month.
But 2 months ago he started coming in every night or two. One night he had punched a guy in the mouth before he got to the store I work at. His hands were bleeding and he dripped blood all over. I didn't see the blood until he had touched a few things. I told him about it but he acted like it was not a problem.
Like 2 nights later I am outside having a smoke and could hear him screaming and cussing like a block away and getting closer. He was on his cell phone screaming and cussing at someone. I go back in the store, he comes in walks in a circle still screaming and cussing into the phone. He goes outside then comes back in, he did this 3 or 4 times. I finally told him to get going.
The next night he came in with his "babys mom" who dumps him after he hits her, or busts up her place but then takes him back. He bought a blunt wrap and walked out. I asked her what she needed and he came back in and told me "stop macking on my girl!". I told him I only asked what she wanted. I also wanted to say I would never touch something he has had sex with but didn't.
A few nights later he came in and wanted me to give him a pack of smokes and a few blunt wraps and he would pay me back. I told him no, he told me a co-worker does that for him. I still refused and told him I will report the co-worker and the boss can watch the video and see if he was doing that. He called me names and came real close to being banned again.
Next night he is back fighting on his cell phone and wanted me to let him plug it in to charge it. I told him no. He called me an asshole and said my co-workers let him. I tell him I am not them and the answer is no. He called me names again and seemed he wanted to fight so I told him he is done and not to come back, I had to pick up the phone and start dialing 911 for him to leave.
He tried a few times to come back but I always tell him to get out and I pick up the phone.
Well last night he came in with a few people and I told him to get going. He tried arguing with me and an ex-coworker, he told us BOSS told him he was allowed to shop there. Well see the boss/owner and his dad the old owner have the same names. So everyone calls the boss by his second name and his dad by his first. Everyone still thinks the dad still owns the place. So I took it as he either talked to the owners dad or he was just talking out his ass. I told him what BOSS says doesn't matter because I refuse to wait on him and I was the ONLY employee.
I had enough so I pick up the phone and dial 91... and he takes off. Not 20 minutes this grown 20+ year old man has sent his mom down.
She wants to know if he was causing problems. I told her he is banned while I am working. She asks why so I start telling her. I meantion the blood and she wants to know why that is a problem. I ask her if she would buy something that has a STRANGERS blood on it. She refuses to answer and says I am an asshole and just have something against her son. I tell her it takes one to know one. She tells me she will be in to talk to BOSS about me and how no one in the end of town she lives likes me. After she left I looked at my ex-coworker and tell him if that is my biggest worry then I am doing pretty good. Her end of town is the "trashy" end of town. All they do over there is fight, get drunk, shoot each other, make their yards into junk yards and garbage dumps, etc....
The owner came in this morning and I told him what happened and that I still refuse to wait on this guy. He said well.... and just then a customer came in. He never get back to that... So was he going to say well just go ahead and let him back in, or what I "think" he meant.... Well if he is going to be a jerk and asshole then he can stay out... I will keep going by that last one until told otherwise.
Though if he tells me I have to wait on this guy I am going to hand in my 2 week notice. And tell him I figured it up, between me, my sister, and brother-in-law we spend close to $200 a WEEK there. That is not counting the drinks, snacks, etc I buy while I work 6 nights a week. That will be gone too.
I can almost guarantee that this guy is getting the cigarettes and blunt wraps for free. That co-worker is the type that will let him get away with that crap.
