I haven't snapped at a customer. Yet.
I almost did with the old man who handed me a tract last week, but I managed to keep my mouth shut because I knew I wasn't going to get much sympathy from my coworkers, and besides, he looked old enough to be my grandfather. The coworkers (dunno about all of the managers) probably think he's doing a great thing. They're nice people, but if they found out I was a pantheistic sorta-pagan, they'd have a collective heart attack. I think it was really inappropriate for him to bug me (however nicely) about religion while I'm at work. It's none of his business, anyway!
If our store doesn't carry something, but I know another one does, why on Earth shouldn't I tell them to go there? We're not losing business if we don't have it at all. I've gotten a few funny looks from customers when I said (after checking for managers in the viscinity) that we don't have (whatever) but I know they have it at The Competition and they should check there. Hey, I shop over there too. Nobody carries everything!
