    I manage a game store/internet cafe. We get some interesting people all the time and today was not the exception.

    Me: Awesome game store manager who dont take no crap.
    SC: Weird looking guy who I did not trust or like the moment he came in the store.

    SC: Hi, gimme some internet time (said in the most snotty of voices).
    Me: *pulls a Gord and finds random excuse of the day* *See side note* Sorry sir, games only on these computers.
    SC: I come here all the time, you must give me service.
    Me: *I work at this store more than I do anything else and have never seen him before* Sorry sir, cant help you.
    SC: *Turns around, spits on the floor, stomps out, and while going out the door dumps his large drink all over the floor by our entrance*
    Me: Dont ever come back!

    I grab a mop and go to clean up. Mall janitor meets me at the spill with a mop of his own and a "wet floor" sign and we clean up the mess. Janitor leaves and I am discussing said event with a regular when a woman walks by, nearly slips on the water and curses up a storm complete with the words "Well they should have a sign up to warn people of the floor". I just point at the wet floor sign and walk away.

    *Side Note* I basically work for Gord 2.0 so can talk to customers this way without fear of retribution.

    As someone who has watched a woman FULL ON WALK INTO a wet floor sign and nearly trip over it, I can confirm that humans are this unobservant.

      We usually mop the floor at my place while it's still open for business (as I suspect most places do). I put the bright yellow "Wet floor" sign right smack in the middle of the entrance ... but I'm still waiting for somebody to slip and scream, "WHY ISN'T THERE A SIGN?!?" or "YOU NEED A BIGGER SIGN!!"

      Or better yet, trip OVER the sign ...

        You must have seen the video of the woman walking in a mall while texting who face plants into a fountain.

        You'll find a slight squeeze on the hooter an excellent safety precaution, Miss Scrumptious.

          We have people kick our signs out of the way while complaining about the slippery floor...

            Had it happen at the movie theater years ago.

            @OP: ...yes, customer. Spillage of soda is such a horrible punishment for turning away someone who gives us the creeps. Bravo. </sarcasm>

            Now if you could just smack them with the mop post-cleanup....
