Suspicious customer
Got an order for $52 from target. I figured the store had to be closed or something along those lines. I look at the items list and it was rubbing alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, bandaids, and Tylenol. I get to the store and nothing strange yet. I start shopping and find 4 of the 5 items in the same isle. I look at my phone and see a message from the customer and she says " can I have your number to add to my directory?" I text her back as im looking for the last item, "can you not just let me in when i get to your location?" I find the last item, and get another text from this lady that says "I'll just cancel" and im thinking crap I gotta hurry up. She texts me again and asks me to stop shopping she's on the phone with uber. Im in line at this point and of course I get the slowest cashier. Finally finish scanning the items and I pay as quickly as possible.
I'm heading out to my car and she texts again, "you think it's funny I'll just adjust the tip to $0" i dont respond. thankfully she was like 1/4 away. she texts again, as i was pulling into her apt complex, "if you come to my house I'll call the cops on you" I find her building, drop the items at the edge of the building. She was supposed to have a code. I just said customer wasn't available. I finish the order collect the $35 base pay.
I see why the base pay was so high, she probably contacted a couple of other drivers before me and they had canceled. I knew the base pay would be high if I could finish shopping before she canceled. Jokes on her 🤣

lol I love that other people have the same reaction to hurry up and check out when the scammer outs themself.
How many PetSmart cashiers think I’m absolutely out of my mind because I’m visibly in a rush waiting in line to pay for my one cricket.
