You mean I have to sit here and take this abuse?

The customer sat there, floored, and walked away with the milk.

This reminds me of the old lady that wanted "No Fat" milk and wouldn't believe the dairy guy that Fat Free is the same thing.

We have to deal with some pretty rude customers sometimes and we're basicly told that if a customer is getting out to hand to call the manager. Don't try to deal with it ourselves. I can't count the number of times I had to call a manager cause some old lady refused to show their ID when they wrote a check. When we're required to see everyone's ID for a check and if we don't follow procedure and it bounces, it comes out of our paycheck.

Wow Blades, that's a crazy story there. Course, I learned not to deal with Best Buy technicians before they even started advertising the Geek Squad thing. I had an issue with a DVD rom on my old computer where whenever I put anything in it, I got the blue screen of death. I tried asking them over the phone if it was a problem they'd be able to do something about, but they wouldn't even let me say what was wrong. They insisted I bring it in and pay them to look at it... without telling them what was wrong... yeah... screw that.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
