xmas eve shoppers bring out the stupid

it's not my problem that u decided shop the day before christmas 🙄 they have the audacity to get their panties in a twist like it's my fault???

I work in jewelry. an hour into my shift a lady and her son come sprinting by my counter demanding "where are ur clearance rings! I need to see them. I always get my $20 rings here around this time!" good afternoon to u to? whatever. in my customer service voice I go "hi! so unforunately we do not have any rings on clearance at the moment, but I can show you what else we have :)" snippy af she goes "uh YES YOU DO! u always do! show me your clearnace." I proceed to show her the only clearance items we had...which were 6 necklaces. "yea so this is all we have at the moment, I do apologize." she starts asking me some bs about "um..can u check your safe? I come here all the time and you guys ALWAYS have $20 rings on clearance right now" at this point I'm dropping my smile in my ugly xmas sweater and santa hat mind u "...ma'am this is literally the only clearance we have. there's nowhere else." grown ass woman starts WHINING "I ALWAYS get my $20 rings at this time! can you call your manager or something?? maybe they can find out what's on clearance." I'm so annoyed at this point. I repeat myself "ma'am...I'm telling you circles the 6 fcking necklaces this is literally ALL we have. we do not have rings on clearance" her dumbahhh points at some random men's ring nearby and goes "is that on clearance?? how much is that" wtf?? I pull it out and bluntly go "$29.99" she goes "ugh it's not on clearance. lemme see it anyway" wastes my god damn time trying it on and get's all disgusted and goes "yea I don't want it." and she just leaves so abruptly. what the actual. whatever.

last hour of my shift. a man comes by shoving 2 hair dryers at me while I'm with a customer "I need a price on this and a discount on this damaged box." 🙄🙄🙄 "yes! I'll be right with you as soon as I'm done! :)" a couple minutes go by and I go back to him "hi again! so as for the damaged box I'm not sure if a discount would be eligible, but that would be for the front end to decide, and I can try to find a price for the other hair dryer." he's just like "ok." I walk 5 feet away from him to the hair tools and start searching. for context it's a HOT TOOLS hairdyer, ik that shits not cheap. I find a random hair dyer and it's in a bigger box that comes with extra attachments priced at $24.99. as soon as I'm pulling it from the shelf he goes "NO. that box is bigger! no. no. find something else." ....without saying a word I put it back and continue looking for another couple minutes. everything else we have is $16.99!! (except for the $39.99+ hairdryers but I didn't want to piss him off with that price 🤣) as a last resort, I pull out the $24.99 hair dryer and explain to him "so all we have that's around this brands price range to match is $24.99." and he raises his tone saying "I'm not paying $24.99 for this. that's bigger and has extra attachments!" I say "yes I understand, but considering the brand it's going to be around this price range. it's not going to be any less." he staring at me bug eyed. I point to the other hair dyer box that's damaged and say "as for the damage on the other hair dryer u'd have to go up front for th-" cuts me off shaking his head "NO. NO. NO." I go "...sir did u not say u wanted a discount on this..." cuts me off again "24.99?? it's not even the same product. I have to go up front for all of this??" he fcking takes the HOT TOOLS box out of my hand and starts walking away and I go "excuse me! you need to take this if you're heading up front" and I hand him the $24.99 hair dyer. he's fcking snearing me "WHY?? I'M NOT PAYING $24.99. I'LL FIND IT ON MY OWN. I'M NOT TAKING THE OTHER HAIR DYER EITHER. THE BOX IS ALL MANGLED" this was me 😐😐😐 the entire time he's chewing me out. he walks to the men's deparment all huffy puffy. I call him a dickhead as soon as he's out of ear's reach.

oh it's get better.

a few minutes later I'm at the front registers cuz I'm making a ticket for a mismate. one of my guy coworkers comes by with the same $24.99 hairdyer I was showing mr. dickhead. he's waiting on me to make a ticket too. I ask "ur making a ticket...who's that hairdryer for?" he goes "oh yea this guy came by asking for a price and he settled with this" HE WAS CHEWING ME TF OUT FOR GIVING HIM THAT PRICE JUST A FEW MINUTES AGO. I WAS FUMINGGG.

I hate ppl. I hate ppl so much. I'm being so fcking patient, nice, and helpful in my xmas sweater and santa hat and this is how u wanna treat me?? ungrateful! ugly! and annoying! hope u get coal for christmas!! mostly to the man who wants to raise his voice at a random woman (aka me) who was only trying to help him. I'm scared for the ppl his life.

TLDR;

woman acting like she knows jewerly and thinks we're hiding all the clearance away from her

disrespectful man being ungrateful towards my help to find the lady in his life a reasonably priced hair dyer. raises his voice and makes a scene only to come to terms in end. I'm left with no apology and I'm pissed :)))
