Come and dance on our floor, also antisemitism

[Grape The Cat]

These are from my time at WM:

Come and dance on our floor( well sidewalk, actually)

The players
DM: dancer's mom
Me: me
M : manager

On my way into clock in to work I see some girl dancing about on the sidewalk. I thought it was odd, but she was well out of the way so there didn't seem to me any harm to it, and honestly it was better than the profanity-laced tirades I hear from some people on the cell phones. Anyway i clock in and about a half-hour later DM comes to the service desk:

DM: YOU PEOPLE ARE HEARTLESS!
Me: Ma'am?
DM: Nobody gave my daughter any money!
Me: I'm sorry....
DM: She's been dancing for an hour now and she hasn't gotten any money!! She's won awards! She's talented! You all need to give her some money!!
Me: would you like a manager ma'am?
DM: Oh F-ck You! Yes I'd like a manger you stupid hick!
<I call m>
M: Hi is there any thing I can...
DM: MAKE AN ANNOUNCEMENT TO GIVE MY DAUGHTER MONEY!!!!
M; Ma'am please calm down.
DM: YOU'RE JUST JEALOUS OF MY DAUGHTER!!!! GIVE HER MONEY!!!
M: Ma'am i can't force people to..
DM: YOU'RE JUST JEALOUS!!!! MY DAUGHTER IS BETTER THAN YOURS. I"LL WRITE TO CORPORATE THAT YOU HATE CHILDREN!!
M: Ma'am please...
DM: F-CK YOU!! YOU WORTHLESS F-CKING EMPLOYEES BETTER GIVE MY DAUGHTER MONEY!
M: I can't and won't force my employees to give money to anybody. Now calm down or I'm going to have to ask you to leave.
DM: <Grabs me> GIVEW MY DAUGHTE MONEY YOU WORTHLESS F-G HICK!!
M: Ma'am leave this store now.

SC: DO. YOU. HAVE. SEINFELD?

SC: You're antisemitic!!!.
me: Sir?

me: sir, would you like to talk to a manger?

me: Sir, I'll check for it but..
SC: You'd better get it this is a violation of my civil rights!! I'll sue!!!
me: Let me get you manager, sir. < I call a manger>
SC: Calling in the man??? Can't cope with a simple request???
< I walk away. The manger comes comes and I fill her in>
M: I'll take care of it. You go get returns.
I do and guess what's in our return basket? Seinfeld season 4. I go backj to electronics, and SC is screaming at m. M tells him to leave.)
SC: (sees me) You F-CKING NAZI!! I'll have your job!!!
Me: < as he stalks off> Well, we are hiring sir.
I don't think he heard me and I go back to electronics.
M: If you see him in here again, call a manager. He's verbally abusive.

All I can say right now is:

Wow.

You've seen some "special" ones . . . and how is not having Season 4 of Seinfeld "anti-semetic" "

[MoonCat]

That was a lot of crazy. You have my sympathies.

[Ree]

Wow!!...just...wow!

[bainsidhe]

DM: She's been dancing for an hour now and she hasn't gotten any money!!

Had we realized she was panhandling, we would've called the cops immediately. No money for you!

[Ellf]

Okay, A. Panhandling on private property... somewhat illegal, but to have the gall to demand that the store have someone announce that people should give the daughter money.... makes me confused.


Also, not having season 4 of Seinfeld is antisemitic now. The more you know....

[wolfie]

M: I can't and won't force my employees to give money to anybody. Now calm down or I'm going to have to ask you to leave.
DM: <Grabs me> GIVE MY DAUGHTER MONEY YOU WORTHLESS F-G HICK!!
M: Ma'am leave this store now.
DM: YOU ARE ALL JUST JEALOUS. I'M NEVER SHOPPING HERE AGAIN!!!!!!
<DM exits>

Note that at the boldface, dancer's mom commits battery then makes a demand for money. At this point, it changes from panhandling to attempted robbery. Police definitely need to be called.

[AyreBiskits]

what exactly is in your water supply?

[chainedbarista]

was there a pole involved with the dancing? if not, that would explain why no money was given.

nazi because of no season four of seinfeld? wow, what would they call me, since i don't even like seinfeld?

[Teskeria]

I'm antisemitic? Wow! I never knew that. Wait till I tell my nieces that the reason I wouldn't let them play with sharp knives is because I'm antisemitic, not because they could get hurt! And BTW, none of my Jewish relatives like Seinfeld.

[HotelMinion]

If you see him in here again, call a manager. He's verbally abusive

biggest understatement! I hate it when managers are just like ho hum just another day! Bleh. And that dancer's mom should be put down.

[emt_cookies]

It kinda sounds like child abuse in my opinion. Making the girl dance for money?

[Hanzoku]

I'd have hit the mom if she grabbed me while demanding money, and taken self-defense all the way to court as needed.

[Shalom]

I'd have hit the mom if she grabbed me while demanding money, and taken self-defense all the way to court as needed.

As would I. Really, I'm surprised the cops weren't called; extortion at the very least. Not to mention procuration, if that charge still exists on the books.

And I'm Jewish. Orthodox. And I am proud, proud I tell you, that I have never seen a single episode of Seinfeld. The few minutes I caught while someone else was watching it I thought were the most unfunny minutes I've seen on TV. The studio audience, if they weren't just a tape recorder, were laughing at lines that I was thinking "What the hell is so funny about that?"

Seinfeld pisses me off anyway. I remember him when he was just another struggling un-funny standup jerk, before he ever got on TV. He had some very insulting things to say about pharmacists. I hope for his sake that if he is ever prescribed medications, he has them filled under a pseudonym. Not that any pharmacist would tamper with his stuff, we're too professional for that, but you better believe he's gonna be waiting longer than anyone else. You know, taking pills out of big bottles and putting them in little bottles takes longer than you'd expect, not to mention requiring more brains than running your mouth on stage does. Asshole.

[HappyFun Ball]

On the DM, I'd be like "Oh yeah.. I'm really jealous of being made to dance in front of Wallyworld by my psycho mother.".


And the other guy seems to have no clue on what antisemitic means
