I'm putting this in sightings because, while this was a customer, the suck didn't happen to me, or even in my store. SC came in today, and asked when Manager would be back from vacation. I told him, and he proceeded to launch into some woe is me tale about buying a gift card for his daughter at other CStore location across town. Seems said gift card "didn't work," so he went to the other CStore location to try and get it fixed. Problem? He didn't keep the receipt. I'll give you all a moment to facepalm over that....
Anyway, now that we're past the first facepalm, I'll move on. He kept going on and on about how he didn't get why they needed the receipt, and he was going to see what Manager (at my store) could do for him. I don't think she can help him, but I wasn't about to tell him that for sure. At the end of his 'please pity me' story, he threw in this gem:
"I told them I was never shopping at that store again, and I won't! I'll bring my gas business up here from now on!"
I had to grit my teeth and force myself not to facepalm in front of him. Basically, he admitted to being an SC, then wondered why the manager at the other CStore couldn't (or wouldn't, knowing her) help him. First of all, anyone with half a brain knows to keep receipts for gift cards, especially around this time of year. Just in case, you know? Second... You can't walk in there, be a dick, and expect them to bend over backwards to help you. It just doesn't work that way. Sorry, dude.
