My worse time working retail...about 30 years ago in DeRidder, Louisiana. I was 19 working two jobs, Popeyes during the day and Circle K gas station at night. While a Friday night at Circle K, a man named Travis McKee entered the store blaming me for calling the cops on him from the previous night which I was off from work. I told him I didn't work that night, while handing me a $10 bill for gas (which was a full tank of gas back then). He then suckered punch in the mouth, and I didn't budge. I told him I'll get him back for punching me at another time of my chosen while he hurried out of the store and parking lot. Fast forward 15 years later... I was a Master Sergeant for the Department of Corrections in Louisiana. Guess who was a new employee...Travis McKee. I worked with him, and I could tell there was something sick and twisted about him. We had that talk about he had done 15 previous years ago. He couldn't remember, but I didn't. I asked him to meet me away from work so we can settle the matter. He panicked and refused. I told him it's okay, one day I will get my revenge. Back in 2011, I was forced into a medical retirement due to both hips being fully replaced. Meanwhile, a year later, the prison was closed down due to the State financial budget, and Ole Travis was transferred to one of the harshest prison in the U.S.,..Angola. Travis lived next door to my best friend and his wife. About the year 2013 or 2014, a 13 year old girl that was in bad shape from being tortured, beat, under feed, and was held hostage; she escapes and runs to a High School which was about 1,000 feet away from...guess whose house? Travis! To find out, him and his girlfriend were abused the girl since she was 9, and held her captive since she was 11 years old. Fast forward to Travis's sentencing which he got 60 years with no parole...I said vengeance is now mine.

I think my personal favorite bad customer was while I was working at Petco. This couple comes in with their dog and they're looking for poop bags, right, like the things you pick up dog shit with? Well, the man's not happy because we only have pink bags near the register so he asks if we have any more elsewhere. I told him yes, but they're all pink at the moment. The guy is LIVID. You can practically see steam coming out of his ears. And he says, and I can't make this up, "I can't get pink bags. My dog is a BOY. He isn't GAY." Then his wife, under her breath, says "We don't know that, dear." No, they didn't buy any bags. Heaven forbid!

These are still your best vids. Keep ‘em coming. I worked at GameStop/EB in Los Angeles in the early 2000s and have so many horrible stories. I ended up as manager of one of the Hollywood stores, so it was nonstop freaks. However, we got a lot of celebs there as well. Elijah Wood came in to talk about Silent Hill for three hours once and we were like “Dude, ya gotta go. We have work to do.” Kevin Smith once bought a random stack of like 25 GBA games to keep him busy while he filmed nearby. I remember pointing to Barbie Horse Adventures and being like “really, Kevin?” “Whatever, it’s something to play,” he replied with a shrug. Wild times back in the day. Got a ton more of these stories, like the time Kojima wandered into the store during E3 week. He signed some games but refused to sign the knockoff American Metal gear 2 on NES.

I worked at GameStop for one year as an assistant store manager. Some would say that was a year too many. During the release of the Wii U, we had a bunch of pre-orders for the same guy. There was a limit per person. I reported this to district. Turned out that this guy had pre-orders in stores all over the state. So apparently my location in North Kingstown RI was his first stop. He came in for his Wii U's. I advised him of the limit, and assured him that after 2 weeks he could buy us out if he wished, but on release day I would not be able to sell him that quantity. Of course, he became up set, and started yelling while hitting the glass countertop. He pulled out his badge and made threats he could have me arrested for any charges he wanted if I didn't comply. What he didn't know was that a regular customer of mine was in the store. This regular served as a special ops sniper in the army, and loved a particular sniper related franchise. So when a copy of a particular game he had been looking for was traded in earlier that day, I called him to let him know. Now the important detail here is that the regular was a state police officer. The regular quietly walked up behind the customer making threats and asked the idiot to leave. The angry customer decided to spread his tirade to my regular. My regular having already called his barracks was just biding time until his on duty colleagues could make an arrest. When the other officers showed up I had 3 patrol vehicles in front of my store, 6 officers with their weapons drawn and one shocked idiot. This guy was arrested, charged with threats of assault, and additional charges for threatening a police officer. He looks at his job, badge and the Wii U's. This guy actually thought he was going to get rich by creating a shortage of Wii U's and selling them at inflated prices.

In the 90s, I was a teenager and I was working at a Convenient Food Mart, a gas station that sold food and such. I had a guy come in and ask for a type of vodka that we were out of. All of the hard liquor was on shelves behind the counters, which was mostly a wall of ceiling to floor windows covered in ad posters. He could see ALL of the vodka for himself. He started yelling act me to move the bottles around so he could see that his brand wasn't being hid by the vodka monsters. He said he didn't believe we didn't have any. He always bought it here. I told him that we normally had it but the company's delivery truck did not show up. It is a small store and we have no real stockroom. He then started demanding that I look in the back. I told him we didn't have a storeroom and showed him that all of backpack was under shelves and along the wall behind the counter. I also tell him that I cannot leave the counter while there are customers at the pumps and in the store. There were probably 10 people waiting to pay for gas and snacks. He went batshit crazy and tried to get through the locked door that lead to where I was. He then tried to crawl up over the counter that was partially blocked by cigarette shelves and crap on the counter. Me and a couple of guys in line grabbed him and got him off of the counter. Five minutes later, he drives his car through the window wall behind me where all of the vodka is housed at 45 miles per hour. He literally drove his car at a fast enough speed that he broke through my counter and into the store isles. If I had not been standing at the register. If I had been getting someone something from those shelves or from the pastry case, I would have been dead. The customers at the counter bolted. I was cut up and bleeding. This asshat could have killed people because he wanted his discount vodka. There was a damn liquor store and a much bigger gas station down the damn road. I quit the next day.

I used to work at a big movie theater and we used to have candy on display, under florescent lights, that were not for sale. They would be under the lights for so long that the bags would change color. I had a customer ask for a candy that was currently sold out. When I told him that it was sold out, he demanded the display candy. I told him that that bag has been sitting under a florescent light for over a year, he said he still wanted it. I tried to tell him that it was basically inedible and that if he really wanted that candy, CVS sold it for $3 less than we did, and he had plenty of time to make the trip and be in time for the trailers. He got really loud and threatened to kill me... Over candy. I got threatened dozens of times working at this theatre, and I only worked there for a year. It got to the point where I just told people what time I got off and where to meet me if they really wanted to take it that far.

I used to work at KFC. Had the usual been spit on, threatened to be shot, attempted robberies, theft, entitled church people, you name it. One that sticks with me 30 years later, a lady came into my store one day. Order started normal, except she was condescending (which is normal). Demanding fries be cooked in front of her to guarantee freshness, asking what chemicals are in the sauces, etc. Then comes the main course of bullshit. She claims that she saw on the internet (aol time frame, photoshop in its infancy) a pic and story of how KFC mutates chickens and keeps them in the basement. These mutants have like 2 heads, 6 wings and 8 legs to keep up with demands. Like chicken is oil or something. Then we go down there to slaughter them when someone orders a family meal. Me, not realizing her elevator doesn't go to the top, try to explain that the chicken comes in every week from Tyson farms. I even have some empty boxes if she wanted to see. She thinks it's all staged and demands to inspect the store. I tell her that's not happening when she tries to force her way back there. She is probably mid 30 in heels and i am a 17 year old high school rugby player so she didn't get very far. This escalated into a screaming match and me physically tossing her out while my manager, ex army guy was behind me laughing a bit. First and only time i care to admit that my customer service had to take a step back to an aggravated foot in the ass.

I work as a temp: probably the most rah-rah patriotic kind of temp in nation: I am a Chinese Interpreter for the New York City Board of Elections. Not only do I have my obvious responsibilities to serve on any given voting day, I also have to help my team set up to begin and clean up at end of day. And being that it is a boring, and thankfully a less-than-challenging job, a lot of opportunies present itself to just people watch. I see a lot of rebels and rule breakers: as in selfie-takers (def a no no unless you take selfies outside site), people wearing shirts for a campaign (electioneering), not to mention cranky people complaining they weren't allowed to vote at our place (because they were assigned a different place as to consider avoiding overcrowding and overtaxing of our ballot paper resources, not strictly because the mayor or governor gerrymandered the bejesus out of them). All that is nothing compared to this lady: One mother took the cake. It was during the Biden v Trump election, the first early voting weekend. She brings her special needs son with her, and he begins wailing and crying (his gloves wouldn't fit, it was covid quarantine days, and he didnt want to stand) and the mom was moreso an impatient type. Perhaps to be by her son, (I'm not sure) she didn't want to vote by the designated stations with the covered desks so she did it by my station, - which was against the rules for both privacy concerns and for that she was advertising who she chose. Our supervisor came by and told her she had to fill her ballot by the privacy booth. He then witnesses her son (by total accident, in his act of gyrations and whatever) strike another voter. That mom, instead of telling her son to apologize, OR EVEN TRYING TO COMFORT HER KID, just made excuses about how hard the entire day was, about how she couldn't find anyone to watch her son, STARTED MAKING ALL KINDS OF EXCUSES WHILE RAISING HER VOICE. While this is happening his son is hysterical, and as he already was crying and sobbing, was crying even louder. But truth be told the lady was worse. My boss tried reasoning with her for a good minute and THEN was NOT having it. He called police over, and with his partner they called 8 more cops in to expel the lady from premises. Come to find out half an hour later, the lady is still outside and my boss got wind of it, and calls the cops to address her again. To cause a scene is one thing but to do it with the entire neighborhood out and about (again it was Biden v Trump, a general presidential election) was just enough for me to not have faith in the consideration and judgment of the public. Safe to say I only work that job for the check lol And unironically, this took place in a moderate leaning South Brooklyn far from the projects. Grand Karen Central.

The wii system came out and we had just gotten an email for us employees to NOT tell how many systems we were receiving in a shipment. Guy comes up asking my associate how many we were getting in our next shipment, I politely stated we could not give that information as my associate was a holiday hire and didn’t know anything about shipments. I had 3 friends/customers on the side talking about upcoming movies and games as witnesses, and the guy started to get loud and asking why I couldn’t say how many we get, told him we just got a message from corporate about not divulging that information due to people robbing stores or breaking into stores in hopes of getting one. The guy asked to see the email, told him he couldn’t since he didn’t work for Gamestop and it was employees eyes only. He gets his phone out and threatens to call corporate on me, I give him the number and go back to talking with my friends about games coming out. He goes to them and ask “have you ever seen an asshole like this?” One of my friends looks dead at him and says “yeah you’d think employee’s only meant for everybody!” Another told him to get an application so he’d get employed and then could read the email

Being Armed security guard working at Quick trip in Phoenix Arizona dealing with all homeless population, this is story of pure crazyness. ... So one day at Quick trip , it was a hot sunny day we had no customers in hardly, I was in the middle of eating a ice cream cone and then I have a manager scream Adam at top of his lounge , so I ran over to the manager on duty , he informed me there was people doing drugs in the bathroom. So I walk into the bathroom I saw a giant smoke cloud coming out of the back back stall, so I bang on the door and told the guy to get out. So the dude yell back at me I'm not smoking . I finally got him to leave. When I was at the front of the store I hear manager call me again to bathroom.... Omg that same dude is back doin drug in the bathroom, so I just called police department and about 35 minutes later the police finally arrived on scene I informed about the situation, they're trepassing the men for me but when they run his name he had several warrant on him in Glendale , I was omg yes because they took him to jail, ......

It is absurd. Our debit card machine quit working one night.

He starts bitching that he doesn't have cash and needs gas and cigs and coffee to be able to go to work and I kept trying to be nice until he said "I guess ill start spending my money somewhere else from now on. How would you like that?" And I just kind of had a rage blackout and was speaking before I realized it and said " I would fucking love it. Not having to see you 5 days a week would almost be like a raise, and not hearing you creeping out every female you walk past would just be a bonus. Idc what money you spend in here it literally benefits me in no way because even without you there are plenty of nice people who will keep this place going and not be assholes while they're here so good go somewhere else and stay the fuck out" he did report me but my boss hated him too and she just told him she would look into it. He did stop coming in for a while and wouldn't usually stop if he saw my car but eventually he pretended like nothing ever happened and started coming back every day

When I worked at GameStop, probably 2012, we had a customer from an area of the town that was not very friendly. He would make his girlfriend and 2ish year old son take the bus with him to come into GameStop. He constantly would buy used games and return them with no receipt (we would lookup via his pro card) and then get more used games (renter). Eventually my manager told me (key holder) we needed to stop this. So I put an end to it and it caused some issues with him. Black Friday 2012 rolls around, and later in the day, after the rush, he comes in. He has a game in hand and goes to the far corner of the store. Jim and his girlfriend start side eyeing me and looking through games. He walks up to the counter after a while and says “i want to return this game and grab this one here.” I asked him for his receipt and he BLOWS UP. He screams to his girlfriend “I knew this kid was going to give me problems, fuck you dude, I’ll fucking bang you kid” and then tries to punk me off like he was going to hit me. I was shitting bricks but didn’t flinch because I knew he was on camera and wouldn’t be so dumb. He knocked all the shit off my counter, threw the games and stormed out. Before he left, he told me he was going to jump me in the parking lot that night after close. He never did thankfully, and he was banned from the store for a few months. My manager eventually let him shop with us again because no there had my back and GameStop is a fucking shit show lmao

Customers are insane. The last guy took stupidity to a whole new level. I wonder if its some sort of "dare" with themselves about how far they push the envelope with illegal activity. Having an illegal firearm in a car while engaging with police that "those idiots in Gamestop won't sell me a games console" requires a huge set of balls. Fortunately I haven't worked in retail for a decade now. I did once have one Baby Boomer come to my checkout and say that my supermarket was "the worst shop in England" just because he had to wait a while to be served (don't shop here on a weekend then you plank! ) . I repeated what he said as a question and I chuckled. It dawned on him what a stupid statement that actually was and shut up.

I used to work in an arcade. I had a guy threaten to stab me because a game 'stole' his quarter. I calmly walked up to the game, pulled the quarter out of the coin return and told him to get the hell out. He got so mad that I thought he was going to pop a blood vessel, but came crashing down when he realized his girlfriend was laughing so hard she almost couldn't stand up anymore. Kind of hard to act the tough guy when the person you are threatening looks at you with a disinterested look on their face. Then there was the time some stupid kid was mouthing off to my 6'2" just out of the military coworker. The kid thought it was funny to act like the biggest douche he could be. My coworker got pissed, turned to the machine next to him and start to pick it up until I yelled at him to stop. The smug look on the kids face vanished when he heard me yell "Not that one. It's too popular. Throw the one next to it." My coworker shrugged, stepped over to the next game and the kid bolted out the door. Problem solved. Kid never came back and my coworker couldn't stop laughing at what I said.

Worked at the Gap about 10 years ago. Was a normal day just checking out customers, talking through the script they make you say to each one. I helped a short lady check out her items without issue, she was quiet during my usual talk, but that was pretty normal as we got alot of foreigners who did not speak English. About an hour later she storms back into the store, and approached me while I was helping another customer and in broken english accused me of stealing her wallet. I was like "I don't know what you are talking about, you used your wallet to checkout, and I have not seen it since." That was apparently not an acceptable answer, and she proceeds to walk BEHIND the register, and start rummaging through the cabinets near where I was standing. I ask politely for her to move back, but she doesn't listen, and after a few moments without finding anything she points at my pocket and tells me to empty my pockets. At this point, I was like "um hell no, get out of the store." AND SHE PUTS HER HANDS ON ME NEAR MY PANTS POCKET! I presume to check what was in my pocket. Only thing I had was my radio because I had locked everything in my employee locker before my shift. After she put her hands on me, she bolted out the door, probably fearful of what consequences she would face. I asked my boss after the encounter if he had seen what happened, and he said no, but the security cameras got it all. They made a note of it, but they didn't do anything nor notify the mall security or the police. WTF.

There is absolutely no law preventing kids from buying M-rated games. It's purely a voluntary policy on the part of different retailers. The ESRB is not part of the government, it is a private for-profit company. Companies pay 10s of thousands of dollars to get their games rated. Since animated characters on a screen and sitting on a couch pressing buttons aren't dangerous no matter what is on the screen, there's really no justification for laws. One of the things people ignore for absolutely no good reason is that videogames feature animated fictional characters. They're not humans. They often don't even look particularly human. The things done in videogames are only CALLED the same thing as real actions, but they don't resemble them in any other way. You can't shoot real people 8 times and have them still running around, health packs don't bring people back instantly, there are no respawns, etc. It's neurotic and insane that so many people talk about videogame characters as if they are real people and expect seeing things happen to them would have some kind of similarity to the effects of seeing the real thing called the same name.

When I was much much younger, I worked at a shell gas station on 3rd shift. We had run out of regular and mid grade gas and all we had was premium. A guy comes in upset and yelling and cursing because he had to buy the more expensive gas. I tried to be nice and explain that our supplier was late but there were 3 other stations within a quarter mile he could go to. But no he wanted regular gas from shell. I started getting upset and finally told him I can't drill for oil in the middle of the store and refine it into gas for him. He leaves and then calls the police saying I had threatened him. The police show up and I explain everything. They told him to leave and go to another station but then he flips out, threatens the cops and tries to charge at me. They arrested him on the spot. Was funny because he was driving a brand new BMW. His car got towed and impounded. I never understood why people do things like that.

Not retail, but service industry. Nightmare customer all the same: I used to barback (and bounce as needed) at a nightclub in downtown Columbus, Ohio. All drinks have to be off the floor by 2:30 am... State liquor law. At 2:31 am, this biligerant drunk-chick starts pounding on the bar demanding another drink. One of the bartenders as well as myself explained that we could not serve her, as we could lose our liquor license. As she continued to argue with us, a dude she was there with, 6'2" and probably 300 lbs(but not an athletic 300 lbs) starts walking up to my shoulder and getting up in my grill. I'm side stepping as I'm trying to nicely explain why we can't serve drinks. The chick finally drops the "I'm a bartender and I know you can serve me, and I'll report you for discrimination if you don't". To which I replied "very good". She huffed and said "very good huh? Alright" and finally turned to leave... But not before reaching out and knocking and entire countertop full of stacks of glasses off the bar to shatter on the floor. I grab this chick by the back of the shoulders and briskly walk her to the front door and shove her out of the bar. This isn't retail, it's the bar industry. If the bar's property bounces, so do you. There are 2 sets of front doors with a small breezeway between them. Her dude follows me up and shoves me up against the wall in the breezeway. Not wanting to deal with it at 2:33 am, I say "look man, I just can't have people in the bar breaking shit. Thanks for being cool. Just take your girl home, and please have a good night". As I hold the door open for him to leave, he sucker punches me in the mouth. I look at him and say "WTF man?!" And he punches me in the mouth again. This guy thought his 6'2" unathletic 300 lbs was going to mean something against my 6'3" 210lbs. At this point, I should probably mention that I used to be a licensed, professional MMA fighter. You didn't know that? Neither did he. I dropped an overhand, applied a plum(a Muay Thai clinch) and started raining knees into his face. I had such tunnel vision on him that I didn't realize my manager had grabbed him around the waste shortly after I started throwing knees to try to pull him out of the bar. My manager pulled with all his strength and weight, and launched us both down a flight of stairs and into the street, because I wasn't letting go of that clinch. I landed in a full mount position. As I'm trying to hold him down, he's trying to push me off with one arm and stand up with the other while his buddies are kicking me in the back of the head trying to get around the bouncers. I did the only thing to do... I arm-barred him and snapped his elbow in the middle of the street, ending the fight. It was the first time I actually broke someone's arm, and I felt the tendons rip too. I stood up, walked back to the front door, and waited to talk to the cops, who were already there because they were working special duty at a bar down the street. His buddies carried him off while he was sobbing like a little baby. This drama happened on a Thursday night. 😑 The next day some detectives came to the bar because he made a complaint with the prosecutor's office and wanted to press charges. They took a look at the security cam footage and said "we're going to go tell him he's a dumb-ass and he got exactly what he deserved". When I saw one of the owners later that night he said he heard what had happened and asked if I was okay. I said "I am... But he's not". He thanked me for doing a good job. One of the bouncers from another bar 2 blocks away stopped in before work and started talking to me about it. I said "Jesus Christ, does everyone downtown know what happened"? He laughed and goes "yup"! Don't go around picking fights with people. You never know when you're going to bite off more than you can chew.

I worked as a grocery bagger and one of the managers had a confrontation with some kids and made them leave. One was the real stocky alpha of the group. A while later BAM! by the front door and the kids took off running. Turns out the kid crapped on a Taco Bell wrapper and threw it in the door and it plastered itself onto the back and side of the cluster of candy vending machines. I was the lowest ranking male there, so I had to clean it up, and it had embedded itself deep into the cracks and ridges of the machine. The manager said the candy wasn't Runts any more, it was Grunts.

I don't care if I was the new guy or not, I would not have cleaned that up. I worked at McDonald's for years as a teen and always refused to be the one to clean up when someone would color the bathroom stalls brown. I was like "I will walk out the door right now if you even hand me a mop."

Back in 2006 I worked at a Popeyes chicken, a black military guy without uniform wanted discount for his fried chicken, my manager who was white said it’s store policy that all military discount requires to be in uniform.

i dont got a retail story really, but i did hang out in cody's gamestop a lot actually. i was surprised at how many kids would walk in with their mother, the kid screaming profanities and insults at their mothers while they bought them stuff, and the mothers just took it. its crazy how some people let their kids get away with shit like that

[@Crowski]

I think parents are just tired and let the kid have whatever they want. It's sad. If I had a kid, they start that shit, helllll no, we're going home. If you want it, go to work, make the money yourself, and go buy it because I'm not giving you shit with that attitude.

My worst customer story was working at dollar general and was working night time shift, we close at 10 pm and this couple (obviously drunk) came in at 9:45 asking if we had beer and I said no, they then proceeded to stumble around the store while knocking over almost everything they touched (which was a shit ton) and grab just a few minuscule snacks to bring up to the register then ask again, “do you have any beer” and I said no then they decided to make fun of me directly calling me ugly and a and low life who will probably die alone all cause we weren’t selling alcohol at the time 😸

[@nj7627]

I worked in a call center for major health insurance company. 5 minutes before close, dude calls in and refuses to give his name, DOB, ID number, anything to identify him so I can open his file. Argues and swears at me for over 5 minutes, which is a key part of the story, since we were past close, the supervisor team line is closed, as is most of our other departments. Tells me that he knows HIPAA because he practiced law for 35 years (I can see his employer as part of his insurance when I look at his file later, and definitely wasn't a lawyer, and was under 50, so unless he was a child attorney, not even possible). After about 5 or 10 minutes of this, asked for a supervisor. Which like I said, I can no longer give him, because they're gone for the day. Calls me the R word and all this stuff, finally gives me his name and all the info I need. Which took 40 seconds and had he done this at the start, we could have avoided all this. We finally start to talk about his issue. He's pissed because we paid his claims. At 100%. He's legit mad that we paid his bills, close to a hundred thousand dollars. He wanted his work comp to pay for it and long complicated story short we need to make a 3 way call to the hospital to see if they will resend it to the WC. Except, he refuses to give me the hospital number, cause that would be "doing my job for me." I explain the number we have on file is probably ten years old cause we're not allowed to use internet browsers for security reasons. (Admittedly a stupid rule but what can I say, the company was not a great place to work for or do business with). Once again, starts yelling and swearing at me, so we call the number I have and guess what, not in service. Get done with that, and we go back to arguing. I litterally have no way of finding a different number, he literally has the number in front of him and won't give it to me. We're like a half hour past close and I'm stuck on the phone with him and am not allowed to hang up in spite of his nonsense. Finally, he rattles off the number, thankfully I catch it (he took time to tell me he wouldn't be repeating it) and we call over. Of course the billing department is closed cause it's close to 7 pm there and they leave at 4 or 5. So he keeps dialing the operator and screaming at whoever answers the phone, and refuses to give them his name or anything like he did with me cause he'" "not doing anyone else's job." He starts threatening an ER supervisor, who's not at all in a position to help him and worse is being held up from actual emergencies because she has to deal with this toolbag. All said in does, this goes on for an hour and a half before he just hangs up. I found out later that he harrassed my company and this hospital too the point that several supervisors had something close to restraining orders (hard to explain) and we're not allowed to speak to him, and the president of said hospital reversed the bills we paid and held him directly responsible, putting him in thousands of dollars of medical debt for being a dick.

I worked at DQ for almost 5 years for a deranged old woman and the amount of things I had to do does not justify at all all the $11 an hour payment. For all the things I had to do and all the shit I had to deal with, I should be payed at least $15 an hour, nothing less. I even had to give my boss a salad every once in a while and bring it to her like if she was the queen of England and even so, she still treated me like shit over something that I did innocently.

I'm a light skin black guy that basically is the same color as the Rock with a similar haircut (obviously not as muscular or good looking). I was a store manager for an urban store chain called "Man Alive" in 08. We had a company policy where if you brought a bag in the store you left it in a cubby by the door to reduce theft. One day a black teen walked in and I asked him to leave it by the door which he complied. His black grandma came up to me and scream asked "Why did you ask him to leave his bag at the front!?". I sighed looked over at her as she was standing at my side and simply said "Mam, I'm black". She then realized how ridiculous she was being and said "Oh...right" then joined her grandson shopping.

Retail/customer service...I might not of worked at Gamestop but like you my soul has died in retail, especially when I got out of the Army. I had a customer once wasnt retail this is when I was working in customer service for dish network one armed war vet and what not started going off on conspiracies and yelling at me and saying he fought in vietnam and that I was a coward and didnt know what war was like. Pointed out I was in the Army and what not and indeed knew what war was like. Guy kept yelling and yelling and everything under the sun, all because I asked him for his name before starting to help him, since you need the name to verify the account and make sure they are an authorized user and what not. Afterwards though after helping the man who was unhinged and what not he took the survey at the end of the call that most people ignore turns out he gave me w/e the max score was at the time.

I once had a customer who tried to hit me with his car and probably would have if I hadn't stepped over some concrete slabs. He then went in the store and threatened the cashier with a knife and told her he would cut me if I looked at him sideways again. Why? Because I wouldn't open a gate so he could drive in and get some sacks of cement but instead told him to get a trolley. Almost died.

Former “temporary store leader” aka unpaid for the job, but doing it anyway Assistant Store Leader here. I have stories too. But, I’ll share one from a return in particular where an older woman bought an Xbox One S bundle with an NBA game. She bought it Friday, brought it back Monday after her grandkids came over. It’s missing parts, is obviously now used etc. She demanded, called “corporate” etc that I return the console. After three hours of me being alone, handling shipment, other customers etc. My DL tells me to just return it as a defective console and give her back the amount. No exchange etc. She had her daughters on the phone etc yelling at me. At no point realizing I could give two sh*ts and was dead inside. I was threatened so many times in a three hour interaction. One with no receipt. Which has the return policy. One I made sure I printed out on the return and highlighted because I’m petty. She tried filing a complaint. Thankfully she was illiterate on top of things.

I've worked in retail for awhile also. In fact I just put in my 2 weeks last month for my current retail job and on my last day I was robbed. Guy came over the counter while my register was open and started grabbing the money. He had another person holding the door open so he could run out after he grabbed the cash. I stupidly tried to slam his hands out of the register and grabbed part of the money. I don't know why I did that, the store I worked for was definitely not worth it. It was actually the second time I was robbed. The first time I called the police they did nothing, the last time they actually showed up but told me and my manager the investigator would probably not look at the tape for a few weeks. Another time I worked at a car rental place in the airport. I was the most senior person for the evening shift. While I was eating my dinner I heard a man start yelling at my coworker. I went out and his card wasn't going through. He was threatening her and when I told him to leave he started threatening me, telling us he was going to come back with a gun. Luckily the guy who worked next to us at a different rental place (and was ex military) heard everything and came out and walked between us and this guy, he said he'd heard everything and the guy had better leave and never come back. He eventually left still cursing us but we never saw him again. My coworker was in tears, I don't know why people feel like it's ok to mistreat people. Those aren't the only problems I've had with retail positions, just the worst. I've had people throw things at me, curse me out and blatantly steal.

So this is at a small grocery store chain & this one store is in a small town. We had this guy who would come in all the time day & over night. His arm was all teosted up & you could barely understand him because he was missing half of his jaw. Dude would take our electronic carts and run down displays then say it fell on him and he was going to sue us. Then he would always drive the electronic carts back to his house, or as far as they would go, and we would have to go get them. He would come looking for us for no real reason and if he couldn't find us on the floor he would come back to the break room or receiving looking for us. During the day he would then go to the office and make the CS page for us. & he never really needed anything, he just wanted someone to order around and have us get him whatever the cheapest thing he wanted was. He would be coming in and pick up a 50cent candy to buy to test if his EBT card was working and if it wasn't you had to hold the candy because he would be back every hour to see if he could get it. Each time he'd leave he would pick through both the ashtrays outside to get whatever he could to the point management asked him repeatedly to stop. He once trapped one of our cashiers overnight against the CS desk asking for help tying his pants so 'they wouldn't fall down' on his way home. So the cashier said no repeatedly and asked if she could call one of the men to come up for him & he just refused and pressed upon her all the more. Being overnight there wasn't anyone up front with her to help her out of the situation His reign ended when he caught his apartment on fire throwing his lit cigarette in a trashcan. While the fire dept evacuated the building and put it out he was at our store asking us all if he could buy a cigarette. "Sorry I don't smoke so I do t have any cigarettes" / "ok so can I bum a cigarette?" To every associate on that night beforr he tried getting the cashier to open a pack sell him singles before finally leaving to pick out the outsidr ashtrays again. I guess they found his sons body or something from an OD in the apartment & wouldn't let the guy come back so he was taken about 30 minutes away to stay with family so he stopped coming around. 2-3 years later he showed up one day with some caretaker & all of us who remembered him just noped out. Thankfully that was a one off and he hasn't been back since

I work for the "largest retailer in the US" hint hint wink wink, anyways I was a salary manager at the time and was working at a store with high theft, random violence (mostly in the parking lot), and a clientele that shopped the store Hard everyday needless to say it was considered a hard store to work at. So I'm walking down the back main aisleway during the holiday season (so lots and lots of customers in the store) and about 40 feet in front of me there is a guy walking along, I'm not following him or anything just coincidentally walking behind him. He stops right in front of the electronics area, pulls down his pants, drops a deuce, pulls up his pants, and continues to walk again as if nothing happened. There was another manager who witnessed it from a different angle, and he starts hollering over the walkie like "DID YOU JUST SEE HIM?!? DID HE DO WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE HE DID?!? I responded Yes, yes he did. It is one of MANY crazy ass stories from my adventures at that store lmao!!!

The worst customer I have had when working at Walmart in electronics was a old lady with no teeth in her late 50 or early 60s came in with a check that had big letters void on it and said dollar tree on it. When I told her I can’t take it she flip out like she wanted to fight me and that’s when another electronics worker said the same thing but the thing was she was not taking no for a answer so at this point I had it and said I will call a front end csm that deals with money and register to the back and because they might be able to take it but I knew Walmart couldn’t take check. Well when I told her this she went off and said so you are going to send a kid back her to deal with me I can tell you this I will make him a real man (i didn’t ask what see meant) well when he came back there she went off on him because he said he couldn’t take it. The next thing I knew she said you guys are going to play because I am going to have my boyfriend should up to deal with you guys. Well I went to the back to tell a manager and security what happened and they seem like they didn’t care. Well I was off the next 2 days and when I came back one electronics worker said this old lady’s 20 some year old boyfriend came to Walmart electronics with a gun waving it in the air threatening workers to take this void check. When security got wind of this a cop was already there because Walmart called the cops on a lady because she was about to leave the store when she realized she forgot to pay for a drink that was on bottom of the cart when she realized this she went back to pay for it. On her way to pay for it they stopped her and this is why they cops where at Walmart. Well back to the crazy ghetto guy when security got word the cops went out to get him and they ask electronics worker ware he went one custom said they seen him going in to the rest room the cops went in there seen he was trying to flush his gun down the toilet. When they arrested him they found out he had like 10 pounds of weed 5 pounds of cocaine and other drugs in his car. Well a week went by and I was told the guy that came in was part of a ring that sold drugs and was part of one of the biggest theft rings around because they went in to his house as well and found out he had like 3 bed rooms from floor to ceiling full of stolen stuff

Worked in a bicycle shop for a while started out in the back and then was the store manager. At this time it was myself and another employee in the store, we had a customer come in with a flat tire and needing it replaced, which I made the repair, we dont patch the inner tubes we just replace them. So new tube tire was still good, so sent him on his way. He comes back in about 5 minutes later, and now the other tire is flat, and demands we fix it for free sine he was just in the store. So I politely inform him the original flat was on his front, this is now on the rear. Typically starts huffing and puffing, saying the same stuff I come in all the time....etc....so we need to change it for free. I stand my ground and tell him no and we will gladly do the repair but for not for free, I even offered to give a 10% discount since yes he was just in the store, he not having any of it, and then kicks over the last bike a row of about 10 bikes, and the all proceed to fall over like domino's. So I was about 19 -20 years old at the time, and proceed to take his original bike that he left at the back counter, brought it into the back and dropped it down the back steps. It def need more that a flat tire repair after that. I threatened to call the cops for vandalism to the store merchandise, he took his now busted bike and left and he never came back. I probably could have handled it differently but oh well.

[@MistressCha]

I have a similar story to your GTA V one from when I worked at GS. But I worked before you did, back for the release of GTA Vice City. Back then like always, had to do drivers, so reserves, reserves, reserves. So you could let a 13 year old Reserve GTA but you couldn't sell it to them when it came in without a parent present. So this kid, a pretty regular face in the store has been slowly paying off his reserve with what I'm assuming is his allowance. Release day rolls around and obviously I can not sell him a game without his parent/guardian present. I tell him as much. His mother comes in, fit to be tied that I interrupted her clothes shopping by making her having to come in and pick up this game that he has already paid for. I explained to her that yes, he could reserve it, but that because it was a mature game, that he could reserve it, but a parent with an ID had to pick it up. She says mostly the same as your mother did. "He's seen violence on TV blah blah blah." And I came back with, "Ma'am, that's fine, but there are main story line plots in this game that involve, running drugs, owning and operating a strip club, and picking up and murdering prostitutes." The anger on this woman's face as I told her and she turned and looked at her son, and he knew at that moment he FUCKED up. She looked back at me, apologized and then asked me if we had games for babies. And I had to think for a moment, but for the PS2 there was indeed an Elmo game, that cost the same amount as GTA. She had me roll the reservation payment to that game. And he was crying and screaming at her. And she told him, he was lucky she didn't take his PS2 and run it over with the car, and he would only be allowed to play that game from now on, until she decided different. I felt bad for the kid, but at the same time I didn't. It was one of the funniest things I'd ever been witness too while I worked there.

This job was literally the first job I had after getting home from Iraq and getting out of the Marine Corps. Told them "Y'all are pretty stupid. You just threatened to kill me and I'm still holding your driver's license in my hand. I've got your name, your address, and your picture right here."

You've told all these stories. I still watched the whole video.

[@AK-47ISTHEWAY]

Yeah most of his videos are the same stories over and over again, but he will tell them in different ways or completely fabricate the whole situation that happened to make himself look better. Like when he said he was a district manager for Walmart. He was never employed by Walmart. He was a vendor for a third-party company that supplied electronics and/or physical media to Walmart stores.

I'm a seamstress in a dry cleaner. when people piss me off, I sabotage their clothes. I know exactly how to make the seat of a pair of pants come apart the next time it gets worn

I'm a traveling industrial mechanic and one customer called my boss complaining that I was "all doom and gloom" because I had the audacity to point out critical issues on site for our equipment. They went on to say that "It seemed like he didn't even want our site operational". We're talking things like missing pieces/parts and horrible machine conditions that could literally cause our equipment to fail on startup and waste hundreds of thousands of dollars in repair costs. They asked that I not come back to site ever again since they felt I had a pessimistic outlook and they felt these problems were non-issues. Oddly enough, they went on to correct the problems anyway. I'm not sure what made them come to their senses, but whatever. I almost got fired over this. We can't be banned from a customer and expect it to just be okay. Fast forward a year, the same people at the same location specifically requested I be there for the installation of a sister piece of equipment since they felt "that he would be strict enough to find all the issues onsite and see that they get corrected". Yeah, riddle me that. I went from "never come back" to "please come back" without any explanation.

I had a customer call upset that garlic oil was put on his pizza, when the other manager on duty asked what we could do to fix it, he said he'd come back and throw a pizza at all of us.

I worked at a retail store at some point. This Kid came in and directly beam-lined right to the counter and asked for Matches. I said, "Sure, do you have ID"? And he said, "ID for Matches?". I said, "Yes, you need ID to smoke Cigarettes, etc.". I got shat from a colleague about this. I said, "Next time, you'll handle ALL of the customers and YOU apparently need to get arrested... not Me".

For that credit card dude, I’d have asked the DM for written instructions with his signature

[@hunterriley4993]

My worst retail experience so far was on Christmas Eve at Walmart. I’m an electronics associate, who is unfortunately stuck with the responsibility of running the show while my manager is on one of their many vacations. I had an unending line of customers on both registers, and the next thing I know a woman comes back there, yelling and screaming for one of my associates by name, saying her car was stolen and she lost her phone and one of us better get her a new one. One of my associates assist her in getting a new prepaid phone and they hand it to me to check her out her card gets declined and I ask her if she has another payment method. (Keep in mind its a $30 dollar flip phone) She then proceeds to try, jumping over the counter, and snatching the phone out of my hand yelling “give me the fucking phone”. I snatch it back from her and say no ma’am it’s gotta be paid for back here. She runs up to customer service and causes a big scene at the front of the store and then comes back to electronics still acting irate. She ended up getting escorted out the store by two cops. All this on top of the incredibly stressful day of dealing with last-minute Christmas shoppers. This is definitely my worst experience so far.

One time a baby shoplifted a pair of headphones from my store, so I dunked him in one of the garbage cans in the food court

[@SuspiciousGanymede]

Did you recover the merchandise at least?

[@Zan_Jayna]

@@SuspiciousGanymede No, I expecred the headphones to set off the door alarm when the mom left, but there was no strip on them. The baby picked them up while the mom was looking at something. I wasn't touching that with a ten foot pole. Clepto baby ftw, lol

[@Anime_Fan_0069]

I remember while working a Black Friday at Walmart in 2012, one dude hit a lady in the head over a copy of Battlefield 3 for the Xbox 360. While walking around the store, I found a copy of said game just laying around. Dude should've just wait and check the service desk to see if someone brought one up for return. That game is good and all, but it's not worth going to jail over. Lol

A Buddhist trainer told me: You'll live working in customer service. So many opportunities to practise your patience.

[@SlickWilly440]

Didn't know you could record adult videos in GTA. Gotta go revisit the game for nostalgica reasons...yeah.

[@Bossgaming60105]

It was kind of my dream job as well because of all the video games, I'm glad I haven't worked at gamestop

[@kitchenbriks3685]

My family had covid and I was told by my dr to quarantine for at least a week. My district manager wasn't happy about that and told me it was totally fine if I wanted to come to work anyway and it was my decision but to remember reviews were coming up soon.

[@wh5027]

Good lord. Just fucking sad.

[@Crowski]

Wow.......

[@FizpzPlays]

I died laughing when you started talking about roach legs in falling out the Xbox and the flurries from McDonald's.

[@UltimateEnd0]

I snuck into "There's Something About Mary" when I was 7 y/o and my brother shielded my eyes when the zipped up meat & potatoes scene came on. I also used my laser pointer and shined it on the screen. I was a little devil.

[@adamaizenberg756]

I’m gonna walk into the McDonald’s by me and be like, “You know how much I spent here in the last 30 years?” See if I can get some fries or nuggets out of this outburst, I’ll let you know.

[@TheMeJustMe75]

I used to work at Walmart and having my life threatened was a weekly/monthly occurrence. It freaked me out at first but finally just laughed at them. I did have a guy threaten to run me over in the parking lot while I collected carts. He never did but he waited for me to walk down at a far end and follow me. He tried to throw a drink on me but missed. After he missed he me he threatened to come back eith his friends to beat me up. I just looked at him and shrugged but I never saw him again.

[@jaydoe5654]

That NCAA bit was funny as hell

[@alancornwall5589]

I worked at Home Depot an some returned 1/2 of a 2x4 (3' were cut off) and the cashier accepted it. 🤦🏼‍♂️

[@OhFrittata]

Very happy I got this gem of a channel recommended to me. I was getting bored of KZbin and now I have another channel to binge, keep it up Cody, love this stuff.

[@ChickenPermissionOG]

People tell me I'm going to hell I tell them I'm already there.

[@ciscodeer9094]

The fast food job I worked at went corporate and tried to force me out because of disability, they also did this to a girl that had the same thing as me, so me and her quit

[@robbiem4624]

For the first story about the guy who threatened the associate girl. I would’ve called the police and had him arrested for not only threats but attempted fraud.

[@sterlingsterling5695]

I worked in the bridal industry and honestly had very few issues with my customers. The owner however..... OMG!!!! She had become too old to run the place so her kids did. However she was still there with a perpetual scowl on her face to side eye all the consultents. Part of my job was to dress and undress the brides when they were trying on gowns or having alterations. Now keep in mind that the dressing rooms only consisted of a curtain over a space that barely fit the bride and I in while I struggled to dress her in a big ass gown and still let her save her dignity. One day the owner comes charging up to the dressing room I was in with a bride and flings the curtain wide open and shoves an old veil 2 inches from my nose and shrieks, " DOES THIS LOOK LIKE WE CARE FOR OUR VEILS?" There my bride stood naked and exposed to the entire store without a stitch... not even a bandaid on. I stepped in front of my bride and held up a gown in front of her to hide the poor thing from all the people whose attention had been drawn by the owners shrieking.... let's just say I had a very blushing bride and for all the wrong reasons. Somehow I still managed to make that sale. When I sat down with my bride after that to complete the paperwork I told her our store policy was that because she bought her gown here the rest of her party including the mothers would get 10 percent off their purchaces. The owner comes over and asks why I gave my bride that discount. I said it was the store policy that SHE created. She then shrieks at me..." WELL YOU DON"T HAVE TO LOOK SO HAPPY ABOUT IT!" Part of my job is to be excited for the brides. I went over to the computer and pulled my sales sheets for that day. The sales were well over 20 thousand dollars for just that day. I said not a word and just handed her the sheets and walked back to my bride and appologized. SOMEHOW I still kept the sale. When they gave me my two week paycheck it was only a little over 600 dollars and they tried to tell me what a big check it was and how good I did ect.... They had only given me 1 percent of my sales. Yeah so the next day I literally took a HUGE bow from the back leftover from the 80's and pinned it to my butt. I worked all day like that with just one bride. I sold dresses to her entire party for the grand total of 300 dollars including the bridal gown. We were all acting so happy about it. We all had a ton of fun with the bow and when they asked me why I was having so mush fun I told them right in front of the owner that this was my last day and I was celebrating. If they didn't fire me I was going to quit. lol I ended up quitting because they didn't want to pay unemployment for fireing me. Was the greatest day in the whole 3 years I worked there
