As someone who worked retail for a long time, I relished these moments… Their righteous indignation would snap me out of my ennui, and I’d love watching their face when I’d respond, “OK, bye”, or give them no reaction whatsoever.
You have to appreciate those moments in retail because the rest of the time is pretty awful.
25 years ago I worked the registers at Target. One day at the back end of a pre-christmas lunchtime rush, this woman snidely remarks that I should be scanning faster. I bluntly told her that if she wasn’t happy she could simply shop elsewhere. Shocked she threatened to complain to my manager, I simply pointed to thr front dedk and said “go ahead”.
I still have my written warning in a box somewhere. Completely worth it lol
