Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Customer followed me around the supermarket this morning then eventually out the door to accost me for stealing a newspaper! I was scanning my shopping as I went but apparently he saw me "scuttling around on the floor to sneak a newspaper into my bag" I was emptying things out to get something out of the bottom of my bag and trying to pack it all back in, all scanned already. I then went through the quick scanner checkout. I asked who he was and if he worked there. He wasn't backing down and was quite insulting! I told him about the self scan system. He didn't seem to understand.
The idea that someone would steal a newspaper!? Aaand do it by emptying out half a bag in the middle of an aisle! I'd be a fairly crap and financially unsuccessful thief if it was true!
Left me really wound up for half the day, not just the accusation, but the way he did it and language he used.
