This guy hands me a gift card, and we have to get the 4 digit number off the back of the card to run it through. The writing was so small that I had to hold it up close to my eyes to be able to read it.
SC: Excuse me, do you need glasses?
Me: No, sir.
SC: You were holding that card up awfully close to your eyes.
Me: (in a semi-sarcatsic tone) No, sir, I do not need glasses. You don't need to be worried about my eyes. Thank you.
He gives me a look.
SC: Well you were holding it up real close.
Me: The numbers on the back were very small and I had a little trouble reading them. That doesn't mean I need glasses.
SC: Well I don't like you challenging me like that.
At this point I want to tell this jerk to mind his own fucking business, but I didn't want him to complain, especially since my asshole manager has been known for firing employees for small things, so I apologize and let him leave.
Maybe I responded the wrong way, although I was not rude. But I just don't feel customers have the right to ask questions like this. They need to worry about themselves. It'd be the same thing if they went up to a fat person and told them, "Excuse me, don't you think you need to lose some weight?" I personally guarantee that employee will tell that customer that they can shove it where the sun don't shine. How many of you would've reacted like I did?
