Work today...

I work as a cashier at a grocery store. crap job, but whatever. So today, I was working on the service lane. That’s where people can ring up small orders and also where they come if they have a complaint, or want to return something.
Anyways, it was shortly after I had started my shift and this old guy comes up with a produce bag with two nectarines in it. He has a receipt and says he wants to return them. Looking at the receipt I see he spent $1.75 on the two of them. So I say this out loud to him, just so he knows I’ll do his stupid refund and how much he’ll be getting.

Well, apparently that wasn’t good enough. This man starts to get a bit rude and says that our policy is to give back double what was spent when someone wants to return a bad product. I tell him that, no, that isn’t what we do. He keeps insisting it is. So, I call up the head cashier and he tells me the same thing. The man doesn’t accept that. He demands to speak to a manager so that he can get the double refund.

A few minutes later the manager come up and he tells the guy the same thing. WE DON’T DO THAT.

You’d think that, with a cashier, a head cashier, and a store manager telling him that we don’t give people double refunds that he’d give up. Nope. This prick says that now we gotta go get the owner and bring her down. He says “Tell her that DR. Rosenberg wants to talk to her!”. So a few minutes later some calls have been made and the whole time this guy just stands there at the desk staring at me, demanding his $3.50.
Well… it was about this time I began to get suspicious -and I noticed that this “Dr. Rosenberg” was actually a 60 foot tall crustacean from the paleolithic era and I said “Damn it loch ness monster! You ain’t getting no tree fitty!”
