black friday sleazebags

[tignish]

add your own, I know they're out there.

at least one every year.

wants to be the exception to the 1 per customer rule.

starts as " I'm buying one for my daughter too, she couldn't be here"

answer is still no

then turns into "my mother has terminal breast cancer so can't leave the house to buy hers"

not buying it lady, still no

goes to the manager "my mother is having triple by-pass surgery today so couldn't make it obviously"

must give kudos to the manager for saying no too.

woman asks 2 more times then another customer, who's standing next to the manager steps in and says very loudly "what part of no don't you understand???"



I know some of you have had those sleezeballs too, the ones who start claiming fatal diseases on their immediate family to get that extra $5 savings.

For me standing in line at Meijer's: oddly enough, no. Just an old man asking the manager nearby for a GPS system, to which the manager replied "You have to get in line sir". He repeated he needed one and the manager repeated "You have to get in line sir".

I don't recall ever getting a disease-related plea for special consideration, but I've heard plenty of funeral-related ones.
It's bad enough to use the dead grandmother routine to get out of classes in high school, but to use it to get past retail policies...?
Oh so tacky.

Maybe he needed the GPS to figure out how to get to the end of the line? (would've been funnier if he was looking for a TomTom or somesuch)
