I had Mr. I Hate The World come in today. He's been in the store before, bitching at me for being rude when I told him the only jumper cables we have are for sale, not to borrow. That night was a month or two ago, and he went on a tirade about manners then. I managed to find some jumper cables and appease him that night, thankfully. Today, he was standing looking at the cooler, on the far side of the aisle from the cooler. I walked by him carrying the ladder and ice buckets I'd been using to fill the ice machine back to the back room. Just walked vaguely in front of him, didn't really truly cross his path. I got partway down the aisle when I heard him bitching. What he said, he said in the most 'I hate the fucking world' voice that you can imagine.
MrIHTW: Nobody uses excuse me anymore
ME: *turns, looks at him* What's that?
MrIHTW: Nobody uses excuse me anymore! Just walk right in front of the customers!
ME: I'm...sorry.
MrIHTW: Oh it's not you! EVERYONE does it!
ME: O...kay then... *turns and goes back to carrying my ladder and buckets back to put them away*
Really? REALLY? If it's "not me" then WHY are you bitching at me? Do you just hate the world in general? Just judging by the limited interaction I've had with you, it would seem that you do. You, sir, are a dick. You're also a hypocrite. You want people to have manners? What about your own? You think bitching like you can't stand existence in and of itself is going to garner people kissing your ass and asking please may I do it? No. It's not. Get over yourself, and GTFO of my store! Thank you!
Bonus: CW B dealt with a real loon in the kitchen. Woman called four times. First time, asking what the special was. Second time to order, only she got pissy when B told her that she could use her coupon, but she wouldn't get the free breadsticks that are this month's special, as we can't combine offers. Lady hemmed nad hawed and decided she had to talk to her husband. Cue a third call from her, to actually order. B took the order and gave her a time of 30 minutes. Reasonable, yes? Apparently not. The lady called back AGAIN and cancelled the order, as they needed to be on the road in 20 minutes. People, we are not magicians. We can't magically cook your pizzas in five minutes or less. If you want food by a certain time...Call ahead! Also, stop wasting my CW's time!
