Thinks You’re The Big Cheese
(I work inside a store, giving out free samples of specific branded products. I don’t actually work FOR the store, I only work inside it to push the products. My shift is over and I am cleaning and packing up when a lady taps me on the shoulder.)
Lady: “Is the price for this $3?”
(She shows me a meat/cheese tray and points to a price tag that says “cheese dip.”)
Me: “No, this price tag is for this product.”
(I point to the cheese dip, and I notice the price tag for the item in her hand is missing.)
Lady: “But this product was underneath that price tag, which means I can have it for $3.”
Me: “No, because they are two completely different items.”
Lady: “But the price says $3!”
Me: “Yes, $3 for cheese dips, not for meat and cheese trays.”
Lady: “I want to speak to your manager right now!”
Me: “I don’t actually work here, but I can try to find someone who does!”
Lady: “You BETTER find me someone who works here, like YOUR MANAGER!”
Me: “I don’t work here!”
(At this point her teenage daughter was in the background saying, “can we just go?” over and over. I waved my arm at a passing employee and quickly gathered my supplies to bolt, but I heard her behind me saying how I refused to help and refused to get my manager!)
