I was arguing with a customer about how condescending she was being. She then claimed “You’re just on your period!” I denied it, her statement having been false. She stormed off. What did I see? Blood running down the seam of her pants. Not being able to contain my laughter, I fell to the floor. IMMD.

“AND FOR THIS TRANSGRESSION, WOMEN SHALL FOREVER BEAR THE CURSE OF BLOOD”-the capslock adds a little sumpin, dont it?
1: Arguing with customers is not really the way to sell stuff, I think.
2: Never trust something that bleeds for five days and doesn’t die.
I learned from reading How to Win Friends and Influence People that arguing is never the way to win people to your way of thinking.
“2: Never trust something that bleeds for five days and doesn’t die.”
Nah, you never trust something that only has enough blood to run one head at a time…
1: You think I care? Working there sucked. Plus, I was trying to bring them down for a few laws they had broken.
2: Never trust anything that has more than one functioning head. It’s probably from another planet and plans to an hero us all.
I smell shenanigans, where in the world do you work that you can deal with a customer like that and not get fired immediately?
my thoughts exactly. the first rules is customer is always right and then following up arguing with them by laughing at them as they leave?
Bull… I worked at K-mart for the summer and I got away with saying all kinds of rude things to rude customers. It’s about being nice to the nice ones and management knowing enough about the trash that came to that K-mart.
I think you’ve never been to notalwaysright.com. If a customer says that because they read the sales sign wrong, they should get a discount, the employees will probably have permission from the management to insult however they want.
I’ve managed at a theater and at a gamestop, and i’ve gotten in arguments with customers all the time when they are being obviously stupid and wrong. I nearly got in fist fight with one guy and then had the police escort him off the property
You would be surprised. Kroger in Fort Worth, Texas. And, no, I honestly didn’t get fired for that.
I actually got a high five from my boss after he finally stopped laughing.
I for one, worship you for having the guts to talk back to condescending customers. Every third customer at Whole Foods treated me like trash, and I have lower respect for humanity because of that.
And then you realized the floor you fell to was spotted with red.
I guess the period fairy believes in karma.
You made her so angry that she miscarried?
XD I only wish I had been so lucky! That would have made my day so much better.
You are a cruel person. How could you possibly wish that on someone?
I am evil. ^-^
I’m pretty sure that LolKat was just being sarcastic. Nobody would wish for a person to have a miscarriage.
How does seeing a woman on her period make your day? What sort of sicko are you?
it makes the author’s day bcuz the woman had accused the author of being on hers.
Funny, even funnier would be if she broke her water right then… Wait… It’s hard to get…
It’s the mere fact that she was the one on her period (don’t tell me you’ve never heard of that silly stereotype about women and their periods.) and she was throwing a fit. It just made my day.
It happens when you’re a girl. And, yes, I am indeed a disgusting human being who should be dealt with.
Clean-up on lane 6, clean up on lane 6.
Aren’t there, like…things you use…to stop the blood running out…like, pads and tampons and stuff?
If you know your period’s underway, yes. But those of us who can’t set their clocks by time of onset get little red surprises often. (And there’s more of us than one might think.)
Well, yeah, there are, like, pads and tampons and stuff, totally. I’m assuming the customer was taken by surprise, or just has an exceptionally heavy flow.
Does that make you squeamish?
I truly hate how annoying it is to have a leak but if you have a spill like that, oooo man, i can’t imagine. And bravo for talking back to a customer, there are alot of jobs actually where you can get away with it because sometime syou get pushed too far and that customer will always come back to do the same thing because he/she knows they can get away with it. Sometimes they do need to be put in their place. Customers are always right. but they let that go to their heads and take advantage of it and treat employee’s like idiots.
They’re referred to in the biz as “dissatisfied customers”. And a lot of the “abuse” policies in retail also cover customers. I’ve seen managers ask customers to leave because they were being abusive to the workers.
yep. so many ad-hominems are just projection.
Projection?! YOU’RE the one projecting!!
I can’t imagine being either party in this situation… telling a customer they were “condescending” or having my retort be “you’re on your period”. Who says that to people?
women
men are notorious for saying that as well
More men say it than women and it’s highly insulting.
More men definitely say it. They have no clue that the P in PMS stands for PRE…as in before. That means we’re in a crappy mood a few days BEFORE our period, not during. Anyone who uses that retort hasn’t the brains to come up with something smarter.
My school’s initials are PMS. lol.
Absolutely disgusting.
How does she walk around bleeding like that? there are tampons for that.
Gross.
Most of the time when taken by surprise like that, women don’t notice it for a while. Trust me. I’ve gone a whole day without noticing before. Then again, I didn’t exactly have a torrential downpour streaming down my pant leg, either.
