Coulda been trying to run a scam.

Few times I had rando customer just walk up to me while stocking or facing an aisle and be like , “I’m here to return this”. The thing in question was not something that was sold in the store.

On another note of fun memories from retail…

I remember some huge biker dude getting irate with me, to the point that I thought he was going to punch me in the head, because he “was absolutely sure” that the store I worked at sold something that nobody who worked in the store had any memory of ever selling. His wife walked up about 20 minutes into this to remind him that, “no, we never got that thing here”. Dude just kinda walked off after that.

Bosses are extra shit though “sorry I cant approve your time off, I’m flying to Hawaii to set up my new rental there so I need you here!”

Working retail is hell, :sankara-salute: to all the troops

I once had a guy scream at me because the basic stainless steel stock pot we sold him wouldn’t work with his induction cook top. Like bro sorry I didn’t anticipate that you have some weird stove and I can’t change the laws of physics for you
