I had a guy at Wal-mart try to return a ice cream maker once. It was still in its box, the box was beaten and dirty, smelled like a garage. The Ice cream machine did not work anymore, understandable, you want your money back, I get it. Well, while he did not have the receipt and the price tag was still on it, it was one of those old green label walmart tags and it had the date on it.....1986. He was nice when I told him that no we are not returning an ice cream machine that is both old enough to vote and buy beer. It was different.

I worked in a big adult bookstore back during college, they had a pretty awesome "The customer is always wrong." policy. We were nice to everyone until you tried to steal or we caught you pissing in the theaters. There was one guy who would get blackout drunk in the theater and then piss in the ash can in there, I caught him one night and banned him from the store. A few months later I found him working a kroger pushing carts and I yelled Pisser! for a good twenty minutes at him. There was another dude that left the theater with cum on his beard, I promptly called the guy upstairs by the main exit to let him know so he could see it too. Cumbeard had a tanline where he took his wedding ring off before he came in, I like to imagine he went home to his wife and had to explain why he had cum in his beard. One time i made a tip cup and sat it by my register it basically said "Tip and I wont laugh about what you bought here to my friends later tonight.". I would usually get 10 to 15 bux a night, management gave no fucks either.

Old bastard deserved it, I had to clean his piss, he hosed with me at my job, I am gonna gently caress with him at his. He did recognize me too, he kept trying to come in after i banned him and I had to keep kicking him back out before I found him pushing carts.

Kelp Me! posted:Believe it or not, they didn't actually lose a significant amount of sales, the switch back didn't gain them a huge market share back (apparently the taking-back-the-lead from Pepsi was due to Cherry Coke coming out the same year) and New Coke/Coke II held a few percentages of the national market for years afterwards, so they came out ahead in every way without really losing more than a small fraction of customer loyalty. I tried new coke back in the day when I was a small kid, it was good, I liked it better, it was sweeter.

Starman Super DX posted:There's an extremely thin line between the regular who sees you often enough to catch your name and give you a casual "Hey so-and-so, how's it going?" And the stranger you've never seen who thinks that anyone who has a name tag is their bestest buddy and announces it immediately upon meeting you and insists on making pointless conversation. The ol' "I dont get paid enough to fake genuine human emotions" works pretty well.

I remember some customers whistling at me in order to get my attention, Tweet Tweet! I ignored them until they walked up to me and talked to me and mentioned something about me not hearing them whistling. I just told them that I thought hey were calling a dog or something, why would they do that to me? This only happened about twice though.

Starman Super DX posted:Haha once a guy snapped at me to get my attention and I was already in a piss poor mood that day so when I turned around with a look of immense fury and indignantly said "Did you just snap at me??" Yeah, you do not do that to people. Glad he apologized. When I bar tended , if you whistled or snapped you would be the last on my list of concerns. Most figured this out after a while.

It really is, and you will never get in trouble for it. Just pile on the sugary sweetness.
