Karma will get us all one day!

Work was quite uneventful for most of the day. We had the customers who were nice, customers who were demanding and of course the kids who dont know how to exercise any self control and mess all the sunglasses up. Sigh...But you get used to all this, its a part of the job. What you cannot get used to are those customers who think that they have a right to be aggressive and intimidate us. Today we experienced that. This lady [well not really a lady but more of a child] came to the stalls as we were closing and told me how her glasses had broken in one day. As proof she brought another pair of sunnies that she supposedly bought at the same time...apparently she got so angry at the broken pair she tossed it out. Hmmm, yeah right. So we tell her that we cannot offer her any exhange or refund without a receipt or at least for her to bring the sunglasses to us to have a look. So she goes back to her husbands ute [we'l take her word for that] and comes back with a pair of sunnies that not only have the lenses falling apart on the side but also the frame falling apart. So we look at it and then Jill says to the lady...well ive been working here for three weeks and ive never seen that pair of sunnies before. I was thinking more along the lines of wrecklessness with the sunnies...it was quite damaged. So we stand there thinking what we could possibly do in this situation. Then the lady asks us what we normally would do...i say we normally require a receipt but before she gives us the opportunity to figure something out she says outright..."fine if you wont do anything, il take these" Jill trys to tell her its stealing but she hurriedly walks away with a pair of new sunnies off the table. I WAS SO ANNOYED. But as Jill reminded me, she may enjoy those sunnies for a while but then Karma will get to her.

okay thats pretty much my rant about work. I shall post some other time when i have other interesting anecdotes to share.
