Unfiltered Story #108933

(I’m working the register at the kid’s section of a popular clothing retail store around the holidays. Due to the volume of customers we deal with during this season, we have run out of gift boxes before the next shipment is due. Also note that the adult section of the store is actually a separate store right next to ours in the strip.)
Customer: I have just come from the adult store and they have run out of gift boxes. Do you have any?
Me: No I’m sorry we have also run out of them here.
Customer: Are you kidding me?! It’s just so tacky to give a gift like this! I can’t just give someone this in the store bag!
Me: Well I’m sorry, but we don’t have any boxes. Many people want them around this time.
Customer: What am I supposed to do? I need to have a box!
(She turns and stomps up to my manager and has the EXACT same conversation word for word before storming out of the store. We weren’t sure why she couldn’t just but another box!)
