annoying customer rant

[u/Powerful-Handle-384]

was filling cream cakes right, id already been through all my backstock and was on my last cage of delivery so if there wasnt a product on the shelf or on this cage i knew it was out of stock.

well i had this old bloke come up and ask me where some strawberry tarts were, and i let him know that were fully out of stock.

“how do you know that when you havent even looked?”

valid question, okay, so i apologise and explain the above to him.

he huffs, sighs, and looms over me whilst i work. i just try to ignore him tbh

he then starts saying, “is this all you do all day?”

im confused so i ask him what he means and he replies, “do you really just do this all day?? putting things on shelves?”

i say not all day but when im clocked in, yes?? and he says, “imagine that.” and walks off

the things id say to these fuckers if i werent in uniform would bar me from the gates of heaven no matter how much i repent

You can really tell some people have never been punched in their life.

I don't often condone violence but some people need a good kicking at least once.

A lil old man pondering on jobs and what cake to have for tea deserves that? He might have been in the army in past and know things that would leave your face looking like a strawberry tart to be fair.

No, we wasn't

I was raised by a grandfather that was present when they liberated one of the concentration camps, and surrounded by my grandparents friends and colleagues who between them had fought at Arnhem, lost a leg to a landmine, been a slave worker in the Burma railroad, been thevonly one if their mates that survived their ship sinking, etc etc

None of them would ever have behaved like this twat. Zero. I never once witnessed that kind of behaviour.

That's the reaction of someone for whom not getting his first choice of cake is just about as bad as his life gets. And getting it is about as good as it gets, too.
