So, this review is mainly on a brief experience I had at TJ Maxx with a rude customer. It was back in November when I was doing some driving around and decided to stop by here and browse.
I actually did find something I was looking for, a beard detangling cream. I decided that was the only thing I was getting and headed to the register. Typical packed Sunday, long lines which aren't really my thing.
However, I only had one thing and it was something I was looking for. With that in mind I just waited patiently in line. The customers in front of me had a cart full of assorted merchandise and I did not think anything of it. Until the guy in the group saw my one item and politely offered for me to go ahead of them, which I was very appreciative of and thanked him.
The lady of the group obviously took notice of this and took some offense to it as well. Not saying anything directly to me, rather a lowered tone conversation with the guy in Spanish. I could almost feel she was pissed that he let me go ahead of them, oh well.
I got to the register and paid for my detangler with no problem. As I was walking away towards the exit, not even passing the other registers yet, the automated recording called out the next available register for the next customers in line, which were them.
Before I could continue walking off, this rude woman pretty much went around me and brushed past me so abrasively to rush to that next register. I once again didn't mind it until she decided to let out the most sarcastic, condescending, and disgusted "SORRY"s she could muster.
That was when I knew she had done that on purpose. That tone of how she said it, I was all to familiar with. Where I work I deal with equally rude and nasty people of all kinds. But I know what the sarcastic sorry sounds like in the tone she said it. I cannot stand that crap, was this her idea of payback? A confrontation? Whatever, she seemed old enough to know better.
I was not at work so I decided to be petty as hell in this situation. I retorted with an extremely audible... "IT'S OoOOoOKaYYyYYY!" to match her bitchy tone, loud enough for here to hear. I did not even give her the chance to respond or look at her as I walked out the door, into the parking lot and to my car, so I could get the hell away from that circus of stupidity.
TL;DR - woman with a full cart gets mad at me, because her possible husband let me go first without consulting her, because I had one item. She decided to be petty and stupid at the register and I gave it to her right back. Don't enable dumbassery, folks! read more
