Someone had a bowlful of Sucky Charms!

[XCashier]

Busy day at the fabric shop, ended up staying slightly over my allotted time. Second to last customer comes up with a bolt of ironing board fabric and asks for a yard of it.

ME: (scanning bar code) That's $7.49 a yard, ma'am.
SC: (acting like I'd just insulted her mother) WHY?!
ME: The price on the bolt is $9.99, and the utility fabrics are on sale.
SC: Forget it! (throws the bolt down and stomps off)

I was all and "okaaayyy..." as I put the ironing board fabric in with the returns.

I get back to my station, and the next customer in line is her again, with a bolt of interfacing. Lovely. I call her up.

SC: I want two half-yard cuts of this.
ME: We're not supposed to do multiple cuts from the same bolt, ma'am.
SC: (snottily) I don't care, that's what I want.

Whatever. I don't want to argue. I just cut her two pieces, run her ticket.

ME: Here you go, ma'am, See You Next Time.
SC snatches it up and stomps off to the register. I wish I'd had a headset, I would've given the cashier a heads up about her. I've no doubt she was an utter bitch to the cashier, as well.

Fortunately, one of my managers was also working with me on the cutting counter. She sympathised with me and assured me that I'd done fine, that if she complains, she'll be informed that it is indeed policy.

Is it wrong of me to hope that her interfacing shrinks horribly in the wash after she uses it?

[Pixilated]

Nope, not wrong at all.

SC: I want two half-yard cuts of this.
ME: We're not supposed to do multiple cuts from the same bolt, ma'am.
SC: (snottily) I don't care, that's what I want.

And the answer everyone wishes they could give?

"And we don't care to do business with you, then." As they take the bolt and put it behind the counter.

I hope it shrinks AND runs....

[Mr Hero]

Pour some piss over a bowl of Sucky Charms to make it a part of the SC's complete breakfast.

[Kristev]

They're magically disgusting.

[Kanalah]

I just cannot fathom why people would be mean to the fabric people. To me it's the same as the people who make your food.

And seriously - freaking out over 7.49 a yard?!

Around here quilting fabric has gone up to $10 -12 a yard, and some is $15+ per yard. Do I throw a bitch fit over it? Oh hell no.

*hugs to XCashier*

They're magically disgusting.

I was thinking "tragically malicious" myself.

Unless I misread the OP, it's even better than that -- she's bitching over it even tho it's LESS than the normal price for that fabric...

[Mr Hero]

When it comes to being a bitch, the SC is going the whole nine yards.

[downforit2008]

That woman sounds like she fell out of the Bitch Tree and hit every branch on the way down. If this was to happen at the BEGINNING of your shift, you can imagine that it would kill any ounce of positivity you had knowing that you have plenty more to deal with that day.

That's exactly what she did! It's normally $9.99, it was selling for $7.49 and she acted like I'd just slapped her in the face. Then she cops an attitude over the interfacing. And of course she's got the CBF going on.

"Frosted Sucky Charms! The magical gloat cereal with marshmallow surprises! Pink tantrums, yellow sneers, orange tempers and green refunds! Frosted Sucky Charms, they're tragically malicious!"

[BroSCFischer]

Frosted Sucky Charms, they're tragically malicious!"

That's what I said.
