People have been crazy today. I'm starting to think memorial day weekend brings out the crazies.
One person opened up package of tape, ripped up a bag of 1 dollar candy, (spilling skittles everywhere I later find) crudely taped the candy's barcode to a big $20 dollar plastic swimming pool and got pissed off when I scanned a bar code from the large items sheet instead of the bar code he tampered with. After he insisted the price wasn't right and I scan the pool itself (I could clearly see something was off about it, but as the place was a discount store I gave him the benefit of the doubt) the screen clearly says 'skittles $1' and I was not fooled. When I offered to call the manager to sort things he refused and just threw the pool across the floor and went back into the store.
A few minutes later he comes up with a shoppingcart full of cases of beer, and claims that half of them are free because they are buy one get one free. Which was an ad run over a week ago that is no longer valid. To his credit he still had the old flier. I point out the expiration date as well as the 'limit 4' and he demands to see the manager. I oblige and take care of the now long line on the communal register while the manager talks to him. A few minutes later I hear him yell that we are all going to hell for being bad Christians, that he's gunna sue, and he throws the cart over making a huge mess while cussing and swearing out the door.
I am not Christian, but I don't think his own fellows want him. That's just the worst of it today, that's ignoring the clearly under 21 kids who lost their minds after I ID'd them for beer, and the guy trying to buy over $500 worth of gift cards with a visa card that's name didn't match his id, who claimed I was being prejudice for following anti money laundering rules.
