When Things Just Got Real, It’s Usually The Customer’s Fault

My job is to stand in front of the store and greet people and hand them coupons. A guy walks up and I say hello to him while handing him a coupon. He looks at me like I have a booger coming out of my nose.

Customer: “Get a real job.”

It turns out that while he is paying, he realizes it was a good coupon and that he wants it. He comes back up to me just as I have finished my shift.

Customer: “Give me a coupon.”

Me: “Sorry, I’m off to go get a real job.”

I walked away, clearly holding a stack of coupons but not giving him one. He complained, but my manager is awesome and backed me up.
