This one's from a few days ago. Exemplary SC behaviour follows.
The guy who we shall call Mr. Angry was rooting around in one of the milk coolers for a product that was caught further up on the track, when I walked by. I asked him if he wanted me to go push it down for him, he said "Yeah," and proceeded to ramble for a minute or two about lazy people and how we never stock the coolers. Mind you, at this very time there is someone back there stocking the coolers.
After ranting, he takes off in the other direction without a word. I watched him walk all the way down to the other end of the store, figured he'd given up, and went into the back to do what I'd originally gone for.
So a couple minutes later, I'm standing over the utility sink dumping out leaky milk jugs, and who appears over my shoulder, but...Mr. Angry. Ta-da. He says to me, "You didn't do it." I blink. He turns around and walks into the dairy cooler. Meanwhile, I'm still gaping at the display of enormous testicular fortitude I had just witnessed.
A few seconds later, he comes strolling out. "Well, I scared the shit out of her." (You DICK.)
I say, "Well, that's 'cause you shouldn't be back here."
He says, "I know," and strolls on out the door without skipping a beat.
I go back into the cooler and ask my coworker what Mr. Angry did. (She jumped when she heard me, too.) Apparently he snuck up behind her and cussed her out because "that (expletive) didn't push it down for me!" She told his ass off for being back there. She takes no crap.
Dude, I could understand being mad if you'd been waiting outside the cooler and I'd forgotten, but when you storm off across the store like you've changed your mind, AND you're a jerk to me, I will decide that you don't need my help. It was going to get pushed down soon anyway, because my coworker was already filling gaps a couple cases over. I am not going to waste my time fulfilling your demands while you're off doing something else, Mr. Angry, because you are just not that important.
