That's the point! So I can be SMART and RIGHT for once!
I love it when they tell me I'm stupid and I must be new...
It gives me good stories to scare my friends with whom have never been in retail. I have more tolerance for people I interact with in retail, than I do in my own crazy Italian family.
I actually had a mid 40's guy throw a coffee machine at me 8 years ago because I asked him politely to step aside so I can help another customer while he was waiting for his wife, whom was searching for another coffee pot. The f***er had some pair of balls to tell me he wasn't moving and he was staying right where he is. So I said something under my breath of "go f*** yourself" and he threw the s***ty coffee pot at me! My managers heard the disturbance and escorted the man out, meanwhile he's screaming his balls off out in the parking lot saying that I should be fired for my snotty attitude.
I would have liked to be that customer service rep that got the complaint at our headquarters in NJ at the time.
