Reminds of that one post somewhere where the guy asked the Target employee if he could take the camera out of the box to see it and the employee responded "I wouldn't care if you killed a man in front of me."

Working in a shop makes you realise there's a lot of weird people out there.
The weirdest experience for me was when a woman was trying to distract her child because I was putting some shoes on the child. She must have been only a year old. The child was whinging a bit and the woman was trying to distract her with toy bricks and some shoes from a nearby shelf, when suddenly she took one look at my name badge and said "Wow look at Lucy's hair, look at Lucy's hair!" and started touching it and stroking it. I just laughed and smiled but I was NOT comfortable with the fact that some random woman and her child started touching my hair.
Of course I had to act professional and brushed it off but it made me so so uncomfortable and anxious and nervous...

When I was younger an angry Walmart employee yelled at me and threatened to get me kicked out of the store because I was playing with one of those little bouncy balls they sell. It wasn't the big ones, but the medium sized ones that are the same size as a volley ball.
Okay i used to live in a tiny massachusetts town (read: white conservatives, white conservatives everywhere). Last summer i went back to visit and hang with one of my old friends. so we were at the local grocery and we're bored, waiting for her sister to finish shopping. So i decide to do some pushups on the railing, because why the hell not, there's nobody around.
Then, out of nowhere, the ugly, menopausal lady comes up to me and says (this is EXACTLY what she says): "Excuse me, little girl, I don't need you going around sticking your ass all up in the air in front of MY store. Sorry, but that's just the truth."
I'm mostly frustrated because she walked away before I got the chance to retort. And I had the perfect chance to be as rude as i wanted, since i didn't live there. however, both my friend and I were to stunned to do anything but apologize in the moment. We checked later and the manager said she had never even seen the lady before.

I had gotten up at 4pm the day before, working all night, and went shopping around 2pm, I was hazy and not really functioning at 100%, someone had dropped a cherry on the ground right under where the card swipe thing was and I stepped on it and looked down under my sandal and screamed "I stepped on a baby heart!" cause my tired brain saw the squishy red thing and freaked out, and the lady at the register was like WTH and my boyfriend was like, babe it's just a cherry, and I almost cried...

(This didn't happen to me but I watched something about it yesterday and thought it was pretty weird.)
So their was this lady looking for a baby to steal at a local Walmart. She was sitting in her car scoping out mothers with babies and such. Another woman began to walk out of the store with her baby still in the little car seat thing in the shopping cart. The woman with the baby made her way to the car and strapped her child into the backseat. She then closed the door and opened the trunk. The woman began to load her items in the trunk, little did the woman know the first lady was following her in a truck. The lady got out of her car, opened the other woman's car door and snatched her baby. The woman was screaming 'no don't take my baby', but the other one continued out with her plan. The lady ended up getting away with the baby but she was eventually caught, and the baby was returned to her mother.
And I found out about this because of my YouTube recommended.

At my Walmart we have a 70-80 year old hooker who wears fishnets, high heels and a feather boa, she's classy as hell.
And like a year ago I went the K-Mart and my sister took the cart to look at clothes and I was getting some panties from one of those racks where you like pick 5 for a certain price so I went through and took my time getting a few pairs and then I was holding this thing of panties walking through the clothes trying to find my sister with the cart and a guy started following me, and when I'd look back he'd turn away or something and I finally found my mom's friend who was there with us too and asked her where my sister was, she was more interested in the guy following me and was like "Hey guy, she's not stealing these panties it's ok." and I looked back and saw his ear piece and he looked up at one of the cameras and walked away. I though it was funny he thought I was stealing them, like why wouldn't I just shove them in my bag or something?

I was given a free cupcake by this lady taking donations in the middle of Wal-mart, and as soon as she handed it to me I dropped it. I panicked, naturally. The catch was; I caught it in midair, but most unfortunately, frosting-side down. Anyways, I felt like the baddest kid in town the rest of the day.
I went to an Apple store in NYC last summer to get an iPhone 5c for my mom and the employees all had weird smiles plastered onto their faces. The one employee who helped my mom find the right phone and talk over the price kept looking around as If something was gonna jump out and kill us or something. When we left, the lady at the desk, who was not a day over 50, yelled as we were leaving, "PLEASE come back, we enjoy your patronage.!"

there's an old man who screams at the merchandise
my mom has seen him multiple times & sometimes he'll be like "what are YOU looking at" to random people
i got to see him and it was spooky tbh, the funniest thing I can remember him saying was reading "NUTTY?? EARTHY?? SMOOTH??? WTF IS THIS ****????" about some coffee beans then he just walked away
he was also using the self checkout thing and calling it a little robot and telling it to be patient with him
we just stayed as far as possible from him but we could hear him from an aisle over lol

I worked in retail so this is one of many strange occurances. A customer came in one day, slammed a pair of navy blue cargo pants on the counter, and demanded a refund. He seemed so fumed because the stitching was poor or something like that.
It turns out we don't even sell that brand in the store. I'm not sure where he bought it, but it certainly wasn't from us.

A homeless person (probably drunk) came into the grocery store I was working at and asked me to explain a sweet potato was to him and what it tastes like and then tried to ask me out on a date. Um, no thanks!
This old dude behind me in the queue.. I didn't notice the basket you carry around your stuff is was not properly down the thing they keep them in before you pay and he started grunting because my basket landed a bit off and not completely straight down... Wtf sorry I didn't notice..
