Unfiltered Story #95754

(I work in a grocery store in New York, so, it is always busy, and, by the end of the day, everyone is tired.)

Person: “I would like to buy all this food, right now!” *puts food on till*

Me: “I’m sorry, sir, but, we are closing, now.”

Person: “But, I just got here! I had to drive for ages! My house is down the street and, you know, it is hard to drive in New York! It is always busy!”

Person’s Kid: “Dad! It’s closing! Let’s get out of here! You are embarrassing me!” *pulling dad’s hand*

Person: “No, [kid’s name], I must get this food! We need food to live, you know!” *angry*

Me: “I’m sorry, sir, but, we open tomorrow at 6:00 am! You could come early tomorrow, the mornings aren’t as busy at late at night.”

Person’s Kid: “Dad! Come on!” *pulls dad’s hand*

Person: “I ain’t leavin’ until my food is scanned, payed, and taken to my house by me!”

Me: “I’m sorry, but, you are too late!”

Person: “Do you want my son to die?”

Me: “No way! Ugh! No!” *grossed out*

Person: “Then, give me food, so, he doesn’t!”

Person’s Kid: *embarrassed* “Dad! I won’t die! Hurry! I need to get out of here, now!”

Person: “NO! I’M NOT LEAVIN’!” *screaming and holding onto the counter tightly*

(This went on for a few minutes and then, the customer just gave up and left.)
