You know. I work in retail at the moment. (Although someday I'll be teaching these peoples children, so they'd better be nice.) And sometimes customers totally deserve to be bitched at.
I work at Victoria's Secret and you will never believe how cunty women get about their bras. I work in a VERY small store. It's one of the old school pink and gold stores. We're small, we get LIMITED stock. And women FREAK OUT if we don't have something. I had some woman scream at me that she was never going to come back unless we gave her a discount for being out of stock of the particular bra she wanted. Or when I'm doing a floorset during hours and carrying massive, HEAVY glass shelves across the store and women by the fitting rooms expect me to drop everything and let them in.
My favorite is during our semi-annual sale. "Is everything on sale?" No, dumbass, its not. Or women who peel off the stickers on the bras and switch the prices.
I had one woman at christmas who picked up the piece of luggage from the PINK collection (they're about $8

and tried to claim it was 50% off. She threw a giant hissy fit and claimed that the wall said 50% off so I should give it to her. We have two large cabinets separated by a chunk of wall in our store. One of them was sale, one fill price. I explained this to her. She huffed and told her daughter they were leaving. I just gave her a sarcastic smile and told her to have a wonderful day.
I have so many stories. Needless to say, treat retail people well. If you are rude, they can and will fuck you over. I can't even count the times I've given someone an extra bit off or a discarded coupon or tried that little bit extra to find them what they wanted just because they were nice to me.
