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

7. Used to work in comic book. Had this older guy come in which a box of assorted 90’s comics. All crap. He’s got about 30 of them? They’re all going in my dollar bin, normally it’s 10 cents a book but I figured I’d be nice so I said $5 for the collection.

He gets upset because his comics are worth millions apparently. So I told him straight up “you’re welcome to keep them if you’d like, but they’re going right into my dollar bins so I’m not going to pay you more”

For reference I’m a mid 20’s woman working alone in a small store. He is a 60’s something grumpy old man. This also takes place in Canada.

He finally agrees but then says, “If I come back and see these books on the shelf for more, I’m going to get my gun and shoot you.”

At this point I drop his box back on the counter and step away and said, “Did you just threaten to kill me? Get out, I’m not buying your comics anymore.” He tries to play it off like he’s joking but I stood my ground and told him to get the fuck out and that he had threatened my life over $5.

Then I closed the store and cried for a while. What kind of asshole do you have to be?
