    Please... argue with me about pricing in the sale flyer with a huge line behind you..

    My store has 1 day sales during the middle of the week to drum up business.

    Some people can't read a calendar that has "ONE DAY SALES!!!" printed on it. It's your typical 30 day calendar... showing what's on sale every day. I knew how to read a calendar by the time I hit kindergarten.........

    A lady was trying to argue with me about the price of something, shoves the calendar in my face, and I calmly point out that said item goes on sale TOMORROW. You know... as indicated on the calendar you're shoving up my nostrils.

    They hmph a bit, pay for it, and move on.

    The customer behind them says "What a fucking bitch!" after they're out of earshot.

    I wind up laughing my ass off and told them "Thank you for saying what I'm not allowed to say". They said "Hey, someone has to say it, and it was obvious you wanted to say it..."

    Why do they always have to wait until the person is out of earshot?

      Out of courtesy.

      I know if a customer in my line called the asshole before him a bitch while said asshole was in ear shot, that asshole would complain to my boss. And of course I'd be the villain of that story whether I said anything or not.

      I do appreciate the back up as bean did, but I also appreciate the discretion.

        Sorry, if my boss yelled at me for something a customer said...

        If I were the boss and a customer complained about another customer saying something to/about them, I'd simply say, "And what would you like me to do about that?"

          honestly what would a complaint to management do?

          thats something preschoolers would do 'mr authority figure. that big meanie called me a name!' waaaaaah.

          actually... I would love to see that. having a fully grown customer telling on another customer for caling out their asshole behaviour
          Common sense... So rare it's a goddamn superpower.

            It really depends upon the particular boss and/or corporation. I can guarantee you that there are place where the cashier could get in trouble for something a customer did/said.

              We've more than a few stories kicking round the past where a customer's complained about the conduct of another customer, including making comments about the complainer's bad behaviour. And with the crap management kicking around, it's more than likely that if someone did, they'd hit the spineless sort that'll duff up everything.
