Only Retail Workers Will Understand These 50 Stories About Serving Demon Customers

30. I used to work at a gas station. My first shift, this large man comes in and starts yelling for some reason and my manager on duty ejects him from the store and the man is hollering that he’s never gonna buy gas from the company again. A different time, this small lady was mad that we wouldn’t accept a return with out a receipt (theft was a major problem and the company wouldn’t accept returns without a receipt over $10 when it used to be $25). So this lady decided to grab the register and throw it at us working at the counter. Police got involved in that one.

31. I work at a movie theater. There were 4 preteen boys who were causing trouble. Sneaking into movies, one wouldn’t put a shirt on, and they took an empty popcorn container and went to me for a refill as I was closing the popcorn counter. They had been asked to leave multiple times.

“Give me a refill.”

“I’m not giving you a refill tonight.”

“Why not?”

“You were asked to leave here already. I’m not going to give you any popcorn.”

“Just give me the popcorn.”

“No.”

He looked at me and chucked the popcorn container at me.

I looked at him and screamed in my most convincing angry mom voice, “don’t throw things at me and get out of here right now!”

It got the attention of the other manager who was able to call security to escort them out.
