If You Throw A Tantrum, You Won’t Get Any Dessert!

A guy came in to buy about $5 worth of items. We have a sale on brownie mixes for $1 each. One rang up at the full price. It was slow, so I walked with the customer to the display. The one that rang up at the full price was excluded from the sale, but it was with the dollar ones.

Customer: “See?! They all say a dollar!”

Me: “Well, the ones at the bottom like the one you have don’t have the dollar tag.”

Customer: “Don’t f****** argue with me.”

Okay. No problem.

Me: “Sorry, sir, I wasn’t arguing, just pointing out the sale.”

Customer: “You were arguing! Just f****** take it off.”

I led him back to the register, and he was swearing the whole time. 

Me: “Look, do you want me to just cancel the transaction?”

He swore a bit more and declared that he wanted me to just cancel it all.

Me: *Smiling* “Okay! You have a great night, sir!”

And then he paced back and forth for a few seconds, huffed, and stormed out.

I’m not sure if he wanted me to argue with him or concede and just make it a dollar. Had he not been confrontational, I honestly would’ve just adjusted the price to $1 since the signs were misleading. Instead, he decided to throw a big boy tantrum over what came to thirty-five cents.
