I've worked too long in the retail industry. Even though I'm the buyer at my day job, I still get to deal with customers. We have a customer who I think is pure evil. She has people pay her to answer questions about our products. Yet she still asks stupid questions, interrupts, expect things for free, etc. for the sake of being evil. If she's getting paid to be stupid, people really will pay for anything.
I got a call today at 5:20 from someone frantically trying to get to the store before we closed for the weekend. The most awful act anyone can do is expect a business to stay open late because your lazy ass couldn't make it in during business hours. I absolutely refused to promise someone would stay late for her.
She drove up at 5:23 and I realized it was K.L. and I know she will not move along. She started walking the aisles asking inane questions. She grabbed two different products (imagine a box of Captain Crunch and a box of Preparation H) off the shelf and asked what the difference was. I said, "Well, they're made by different companies, have different ingredients and are different prices."
You can tell I'm at the end of a very long week when I start using basic logic at people. I left a brave co-worker handling K.L. and describing the differences between products that K.L. gets paid to know. K.L. may you always be third in line at the grocery store!!!!!!!
