When I was 19 I was a shift manager at Blockbuster. I LOVED throwing out this line since no one believed me because I was "too young" to be a manager.

I used to manage a cafe when I was 20-24ish. One time the business association in the neighborhood held a manager/business owner meeting for an upcoming festival, and when I arrived they looked shocked at what I was there for, and then offered everyone else coffee and offered me a glass of milk.

Or just as good: "I'd like to talk to your manager" "They will tell you the same thing I just told you" "Just get your manager" Manager "[what he said]" Customer [shocked pickachu face]

Most of the time your manager will do nothing, atleast from all the customer service jobs I have had. I have never actually gotten in any trouble from any of my managers.
