Hey all! I'm positive no one will recall me. I got an account here back at the end of '01 and shortly after stopped posting for whatever reason. So after about seven years I'm back. 
I think this is a good enough post to start out with again. This happened last night as I was labeling clearance items and putting them in the clearance aisle. Out of no where this woman pops up with her twins in a stroller at the end of the aisle and says to me:
SC: "Thomas the train."
Me: "Eh, what?"
SC: "Thomas the train!"
ME: "Uh...what about him?"
SC: "Where is Thomas the train!?"
Me: "Well what exactly are you looking for?" (seriously Thomas the train what? toy? books? party stuffs?)
SC: "Where is Thomas the train?"
Me: (ok were getting nowhere fast
) "Well what of Thomas the train? A cake pan, toys-
SC: (CUTS ME OFF) "Yes toys! (said as if I was an idiot) All Michael's stores carry wooden Thomas the trains on tracks."
Me: "Um no we don't" (never heard of such a thing, we aren't a toy store)
SC: Puts her had up as if to shut me out and gives a disgusted look before storming off around the corner.
I chuckle mildly and confusedly, but was about to let it go and keep working when I hear her say to her children "She isn't very smart!"
I'm thinking, 'scuse me bit*h!? It is on! I went out towards customer service, 'cause I figure that's where she is headed, to warn the FES, but it's to late, she's there. So I stand back to see if she's going to need help. I tell E____, who had just signed off and was no longer in uniform, and was making a purchase, I_____ the crafts manager and S_____ on register. We all watch and sure enough the SC doesn't even wait until the customer ahead of her is finished before shoving her way in and demanding Thomas the train. C______ looks confused and glances our way E____ goes over and explains that we don't carry it, but larger stores such as S_______ and G______ do. SC looks at her and says "I don't don't need to hear from the peanut gallery! I don't want your two cents you don't even work here!" * all around* C_____ and E____ say that yes she does, and SC says "Whatever I'm done!" while shoving her hand up again and pushing her kids out the door. Then laughs were had by all.
Most of all I feel sorry for her kids, who have to deal with her crap, and will grow up believing that this is acceptable behavior for an adult.
