Retail Workers Share the Small Ways They Get Back at Rude Customers

Generally speaking, if an item is on clearance, there is absolutely no more stock in the back warehouse. As a customer, don’t bother asking and don’t demand that an underpaid employee go check “just in case.” The item is on clearance for a reason, and all stock is on the floor. If you insist on having someone check, you might have an experience similar to this. 

This storyteller had a woman insist he check the back inventory to see if the store had a different shoe size on clearance. He already knew nothing else was in the back, but the lady insisted. So he went back, played on his phone for 10 minutes until his shift was over, clocked out, and walked past her. Sometimes it doesn’t pay to be pushy.
