“I was working in Target at the returns desk when a lady came in with a cart piled full of stuff to return. She had her receipt and everything had the tags attached so we rang it all back. She was nicely dressed and very polite, but offered no explanation as to why she was returning other than a vague ‘changed my mind.’
A few hours later my shift ended and as I was walking through the store to the backroom I came upon the same lady with a new cart that was filling up again. The next day a coworker told me when she checked out, her total was over $7,000 and she paid without question. Since I was on the returns desk again, I walked over there and who do I see standing in line with a cart full of stuff to return? The same lady!”

“I used to work for a brand name handbag company and I worked both high end and outlet stores. The outlet store was the craziest, I listened to a customer’s wants and gave her a couple different hand bag suggestions while we walked through the store together, she seemed very nice. She ended up picking a full sized purse up and THROWING it at me yelling at me that is wasn’t the perfect bag and then stormed off. I left soon after that..”

“I worked at a store for a couple of years, and I remember we once returned a candle because the wick burned out. At the bottom. Of a candle.”

“I was 8 months pregnant and an assistant manager at a retail store that told us that we could apprehend shoplifters, as long as we saw exactly what they took, exactly where they put it, and called the police and kept them in the store. So my coworker and I caught this girl, who was probably 16 or 17, and we had called the sheriff’s office and we were just standing with her, waiting for him to show up. She then pushes MY roly poly ass to the ground and took off running. And despite my insistence not to, my coworker took off after her screeching like a pterodactyl through the whole mall and out to the parking lot, where the sheriff then tackled the shoplifter to the ground. After an explanation, he brought her back inside to apologize and he’s literally holding on to the back of her shirt and saying, “you NEVER, EVER push a pregnant woman!” and insisting I overlook policy about chasing shoplifters for my coworker, who he felt did the right thing (I did). He wanted me to press assault charges but I said I was just too tired to deal with that, so he instead gave her a trespass for the whole mall – not just my store, so I wouldn’t have to ever see her face again.”

“A mom let her kid shit in a rain boot that was on display. The display rain boot. I worked in a nice children’s boutique and can’t make this shit up.”

“I used to work at a copy and print center at Staples. As a result, have learned that people, when given the power to print anything, print some messed up stuff. The absolute craziest thing someone ever wanted me to print was a banner with nickelodeon characters on it. Sounds pretty mild, until I saw them photoshopped with members of the KKK. Some guy honestly came to Staples to print his KKK propaganda.”

“I worked at a lingerie store and all the panties have dates on the inside of the tag from when they were made. Tell me why I had some middle aged women come up to me and say “ I got these as a gift recently and they don’t fit.” The parties were dated from 1998.”

“I used to work at a liquor store and one day, a customer that was considered a “regular” came in, sweaty and smelly from the walk from her home to the store. She grabbed her drinks and a pack of smokes and lingered around the counter after paying. Finally, I was like “So, what are you up to today?” And she’s like “I have a baby rabbit in my bra” and whips out a live baby rabbit.”
