Cannock, United Kingdom
Today, a customer yelled at me so furiously that she sprayed my face with spittle. I had to stand there, smiling and politely explaining that I needed to see a receipt before I could give her a refund. When she finally gave up and left, my boss bitched me out for "provoking the customer". FML

Go away, lady!
Today, at work, I had a customer accuse me of taking the giftcard I had issued her for her return, after spending 15 minutes trying to fix her screwed up transaction. She began to yell, and follow me around the store. Security had to intervene and I had to be locked in an office until she left. FML

That's exactly why the person whom coined the phrase, "The customer is always right," was clearly wrong.

When someone's description of their conduct in a dispute is THIS innocuous yet simultaneously short on detail, it just makes me wonder what's being left out. For instance, HOW were they being saved money? Was it by being pestered to sign up for a membership card or something? It doesn't automatically mean this IS such a situation, but there are a ton of serious wrongdoings (or at least legitimate annoyances) that can be reworded into something innocent as long as you use as few details as possible. There's a good chance you've heard someone who's wronged you before describe their actions in similar ways. Of course, this is just skepticism and paranoia on my part. It doesn't mean I'm right about it on this one.

More context, please? It's hard to know what to say when there's so little detail.
