I worked retail for decades and I'm genuinely offended you'd side with a customer. those shits don't get enough guff for their garbage ass behavior. you wanna come in a scream at me because your mad about "duh gubbermen"? well I'm gonna detect your dumb ass talking points and fuck with you for the duration of our interaction. I'll tell you the toy car has pink hair and rainbow flames on the side and the license plate says "Bi or Die" and the "Barbie" toy is a MtF school teacher named "Claxison" that lives on government assistance. Come in here again and tell me you think "happy holiday's" is an attack on Christmas, I dare you!
I worked in retail too before. You're going to meet every type of person, and a lot of them aren't pleasant. It's in the best interest of everybody to simply complete the transaction as quickly and smoothly as possible. I don't want to see their ugly mugs nor do they want to spend time with me. If I let every customer like this get under my skin, I would gone insane long ago. The people in retail who actually do spend the time messing with customers usually just end up provoking them, which leads to the crazier ones to flip out and cause problems for everybody else.
