Scream Boo At These Customers

(A customer has come in to try and return some obviously worn clothing they bought over a year ago, which is now well beyond our return policy date. It has been a fairly typical encounter up until this point; she just thinks that having her receipt will somehow negate the fact that she bought the clothes last year. Finally, she throws her head back and declares:)

Woman: “If you don’t help me, I shall cry.”

Me: “I’m sorry, but there’s nothing I can do, since—“

Woman: *planting her head in her hands* “Boo hoo hoo hoo! Boo hoo hoo hoo!”

(She then proceeded to run out of the store, her head still in her hands, literally shouting, “Boo hoo hoo hoo,” over and over again in the same tone of voice that she had been yelling at me in. It was even more bizarre, given the fact that she had seemed perfectly normal, if very stubborn, up until that point.)
