The Customer Is Not Always Copyright, Part 2

(I am working at the customer service desk at a well-known box store. A customer comes in to return some movies. He looks a little shady and his voice/actions are entirely monotone, but he seems normal enough.)

Customer: “I would like to return these.” *he dumps a few movies on my counter; they are all unwrapped*

Me: “I’m sorry, sir. Since these are already open I can’t return them for you. If there is something wrong with them, I can exchange them for copies of the same discs.”

Customer: “No. I want to return these. You need to accept them.”

Me: “I’m sorry, but copyright law prohibits me from—”

Customer: “You know, I could just sue you.”

(I think he’s joking, so I laugh.)

Customer: “I have won lawsuits against [Fast Food chain] and [Giant box store] and I will sue your a**.”

(I’m still not entirely convinced he’s serious. His voice is almost cartoonishly monotone and he’s showing no signs of anger.)

Me: “I’m sorry, sir, but there’s nothing I can do unless you want to exchange these.”

Customer: *picks up DVDs* “I’ll be back. I’ve won a million dollars against [Fast Food chain]. You will lose.”

Me: *calling after him* “Good luck with that!”

(I never see him again.)
