*shivers*
If I sit and think hard enough, I could come up with a lot more. I worked every dept in a grocery store except meat and bakery/deli. Only have about 5 1/2 years worth but I came across a lot of nutjobs
Remember one crazy old bat that actually tried to PUNCH a the store manager because we were sold out of ground beef
And then about a few weeks later she got mad at me because she wanted me to rip open a sack of potatoes so she can buy a few small russet taters instead of the bigger idaho taters. (I was working produce back then)
Kept trying to explain to her that I cant do that and thats not how things work there. All she did was argue and argue some more. I finally told her "No, im not going to do it" with a And thats final tone of voice. She got mad and left.
Crazy old bat.
Another woman wanted a botle of Kraft ranch salad dressing thats on sale. The shelf was empty. She asked if we had any, and I said no I didnt see any in back. (Even though we got a truck in that morning and I was stocking that section off a roll-around cart I had). Even though we just got our truck in and I knew good and well it was back there on one of the pallets, we had a big truck and I didnt have the time to waste to go look for one thing. She said to me "well I guess you dont care about losing customers" or something like that. I just game her a look like she was crazy and went back to stocking.
I wasnt lying when I said I didnt see it. I didnt see it on the front row of pallets whe I dug my crap out, so to me its not in stock until I get my hands on it.
Turns out it was in the last row of pallets along the wall. Estimated time to dig it out just for her would of been about 10-15 minutes.
Sorry but I dont have time for impatient crybabies.
