Unfiltered Story #181157

[I worked at a children’s clothing store chain over the summer. It was around September that this happened; we had stopped selling summer PJs except in our clearance section, and had started getting flannels in.]

Me: Hello, sir! Is there anything I can help you find?
Customer: Yes, I’m looking for some PJs.

[I take him to the back of the store where we have all the PJs, pointing out the clearance rack, the warmer PJs we’ve gotten in, and the sets that come with short sleeve shirts, short pants, and long pants]

Customer: My son can’t wear these! He’ll roast in them!
Me: I’m sorry, sir. We’ve started carrying PJs for winter. We may have a few pairs in clearance, if you’d like to look there, or we have these sets.
Customer: It’s still 70 degrees!
Me: I’m very sorry. These sets have short pants with them, though!
Customer: Those are too expensive!
Me: We might have a few left in clearance, but we have been mostly bought out of our summer clothes.
Customer: You don’t have his size! This is ridiculous! What am I supposed to do?

[This went on for a little while, all while his children ran around the store doing whatever they wanted, because their dad was too busy being mad at me for decisions I don’t make to supervise them]
