What a day what a week! I swear the work week after a holiday is ridiculously long!!! I promise you it feels like they threw in two extra days this week just to make up for the days we were off for the Fourth of July. With that being said my patience has been all this week. 

 I have legit work both my jobs every single day this week and a sister is tired.  So of course this week’s rant has to be hella juicy because I aint got no time for the bull ish. Per usual we’re gonna just jump right in.

Customer #1

 I don’t know if my customers or testing me or if I’m getting punked but I seriously wanted to hurt this dude. So I’m conversing with one of my associates when customer #1 comes up stating that he needed a size.

The Conversation 

Me: What size were you looking for? 

Customer: A medium 

Me: Where did you get the shirt from?

Customer: I don’t know? 

(Thoughts to myself) How the entire hell do you NOT know where YOU got the shirt from??? 🤨😒🙄

So I feel the shirt because I had a good idea which one it was.

Disclaimer 

The customer came to me looking for a WHITE medium button up shirt. The shirt he had in hand had clearly been tried on. Keep that in mind.

Me: Can I see your shirt? 

Customer hands over the shirt. 

Me: So what color did you say that you needed? Because this shirt you have right here is a medium. 

Customer: Yes but I want another white shirt because I might want to buy two instead of one. And can I get a black one too?

I handed the customer the black and white button up shirts and made my way around the store. Moments later I’m checking out a customer when the guy get in line with three folded shirts. Two of which I got down for him on the wall and another blue shirt.

The Rant

So you made me climb up on the wall to get you a mother 🤬 folded shirt when you already opened up a perfectly folded shirt?? Then on top of that yo ass took it upon yourself to not buy the shirt YOU tried on but instead would rather me climb a ladder to get you a perfectly folded shirt that you will once again open???

Just to be clear here, you don’t want the shirt that your own body odor is now all over, you would rather have a shirt that you think has never been worn? Well ain’t that some funny shit. Like what the hell do you think is going to happen to this shirt you just decided not to buy?? 

Let me tell you a little secret! 😬 We’re going to fold the shirt back up, nice and neat and put it right back on the floor so someone else like you can buy it. Isn’t karma a b****? You go through all that to make me give you a shirt that has also already been worn! 

Customer #2

My infamous customer #2 is just as bad as number one. As I’m about to put some clothes back on a floor a guy walks near the register. 

The Conversation 

Me: You ready to check out? 

Customer: Yes, can you check the price of this?

Hands me a clearance shirt.

Me: It’s $17.99 

Customer: Oh no, it’s ok.

Me: So you want it or you don’t want it? 

Customer: No, no it’s ok, I’ll put it back for you. 

Disclaimer 

When in the hell has a customer who is checking out ever volunteer to put something back, which is located at the very back of the store??

Summer Clearance Sale Hurry up! Everything is on Sale! Down to $4.99 Free Gifts End date: 7/26

So I decided to look back there because he was taking a little longer than expected to put back a clearance shirt.  Ladies and gentlemen do you know this fool when back shopping through the clearance items??? Like straight left me at the register looking a damn fool.

He FINALLY comes back to the register.

Me: You ready? 

Customer: Yeah sorry about that. (Hands me another shirt he found)I found this shirt back in the clearance section. 

Me: It’s ringing $24.95. It’s not on clearance. 

Customer: Oh it’s not?

Me: No, a customer probably stuck it back there. This shirt is actually over here. (Walks customer over the the new shirts on the men side) See all these shirts over here are $24.95.

Customer: Ah, I see. I will look at these shirts. 

Disclaimer 

Now this is now the SECOND time this man has stepped away from the register while I’m ringing him up. The shirt that he found in clearance was a nice medium dark denim button up that had clearly been worn because all the buttons were undone. 

I see the customer headed back to the register.

Me: Are you SUUURRREE you’re ready now??????

Customer: Laughs a little Yes I’m really ready now. (Hands me the denim button up)

I notice right away that this was NOT the exact same denim shirt but this shirt had all the buttons perfectly closed.

The Rant 

Not only did you play me at the register TWICE but then you got the audacity to put back the shirt you originally had to get a shirt that was perfectly buttoned? And let’s not forget that he originally put back the real clearance shirt because it was $17.99 but you are now unbelievably ok with paying for this $24.95 shirt? What in the entire hell??

Moral of the Story: Karma is a bad mother (shut yo mouth)

If you enjoyed this Rant, you won’t want to miss the other 26!
