Today, I tried a soup sample at a supermarket. An employee then came over and started asking me questions about how I got the cup for the sample, telling me it wasn't store policy to just give out sample cups. I was so stressed that I broke down crying in the middle of the supermarket. FML
gracewinchester tells us more.
Just to clarify: I wasn't just crying because of the soup. My college apps are due Monday, I was going to have to be at school from 7:30AM - 8:00 the next morning, I have a huge part in a play and expectations are very high, SATs are Saturday, LOTS more. The store's official policy is to have an employee come with the customer and get a soup sample. The soup sample cups look exactly like the salad dressing cups so she probably thought I was trying soup without asking or an employee made a mistake, which is actually what happened. I normally don't ever cry in front of people but for some reason that just set me off. Hope that clears anything up :)

Aww. :( It's okay, you didn't know the store policy.

Well unless you took it from somewhere, you weren't to know. They're the ones that will get in trouble, not you. Don't worry too much about it.

Not your fault OP. It could have happened to anyone.

I understand that the employee was probably trying to make sure you weren't stealing or that some one wasn't breaking a rule but they handled that badly. they shouldn't have been telling you it isn't store policy they should have be telling who ever gave it to you

This definitely wasn't your fault. How were you supposed to know the store policy?

This seems strange. Did you get it from an employee or did you see the cups and the soup and assume it was a sample? Also, why did you start crying when he asked you how you got the cup?

Unbelievable. To cause so much stress, over a sample cup of a ******* soup.
