  • Excuse me sir!?

    Working in a supermarket with low prices (some of the lowest on the Island) has certain perks: plenty of customers to speed the day by, as long as they don't suck. Unfortunately it brings more negativity, because our prices bring in lots of cheap scumbags and poor people who think they're nobility for buying 50 items for $20. These are also the most unattractive and rudest people for miles.

    They don't understand store policy, nor exactly where an employee's obligations end. This is a short dialogue between a red-headed Daniel Bonaduce imposter and I.

    SC:Danny Bonadouche
    Me:Me of course.

    SC: Hello.
    Me: Hi, how are you doing today?
    SC: HELLOOOOO. (Sarcastic "anybody there?" tone.)
    Me: Problem?
    SC: I left my milk here a while ago...!?
    Me: Hmm.. Oh yeah, I brought that up front- you can claim it after I ring you up. (Points to front desk)
    SC: What's your problem? That's some bad service you know. Why didn't you bring it out to me when I left it?
    Me: Because I... have a line (points at line) and chasing you isn't one of my jobs.
    SC: (Moves to the side of me, removes shades) Good because I'm never coming here again.
    Me: I'm sorry to hear that. That will be $4.98.
    SC: (Pays, speedwalks up front) Yeah, that guy you got on express is a nasty piece of shit. I'm never shopping here again!

    * Later on my boss told me I did nothing wrong, and said that guy was banned from the store a month ago for STEALING FROM THE CHEAPEST STORE ON THE ISLAND. I also suspected Danny was going to throw a punch, since sunglass removal tends to mean NOW IT'S GO TIME.

    The fact that you have been in a position to learn that is not a good thing. You have my sympathy for that (hopefully not too frequent?) as well as for having to deal with the idiot you just described.

      Why was he allowed back in since he was banned?

      Best of luck to you.

        Are you sure he was an "imposter"?

          Unfortunately, bannings can be hard to enforce, especially at a grocery store -- it would require that someone be watching the doors like a hawk >_<

            Haha. Not hard to imagine him being in NY, seeing as though he lives in Philly.

            But I'm assuming he was allowed back in because of the lack of security at such a low cost place. No one to really patrol?

                I hate this kind of thing. You just said Hello, Mr Personality obviously wasn't listening, but he has to get snarky about it. What a jerk.
