Mmm, Pasty Nerds
(A woman in her forties walks in…)
Customer: “I’d like $5 worth of games for a Nintendo DS and the system itself. This should cover it all.”
(The customer puts $20 on the counter.)
Me: “I’m sorry. We don’t have any DS games for five bucks, and if you want a DS, you’re about sixty-five dollars short… $115 if you want a new one.”
Customer: “…”
Me: “Is there anything else I can help you with?”
Customer: “[Toy Store Chain] has them for $15. You should price match.”
Me: “Ma’am, we do not price match here, and even if we did, I’m only a seasonal employee and wouldn’t likely be allowed to.”
Customer: *screaming* “Let me speak to your manager!”
Me: “All right…”
(I go to get manager from the back room. She explains the situation. BTW, I’m a woman myself.)
Customer: “THIS IS DISCRIMINATION! YOU AREN’T GIVING ME FAIR TREATMENT BECAUSE I’M NOT A FAT, PASTY NERD THAT KNOWS THINGS LIKE YOU TWO! AND BECAUSE I’M A WOMAN!”
Manager: “I’d like you to leave the store, please.”
Customer: “FINE! NERDS!”
