I ran into an a**hole at work. So it was supposed to be my day off, but I volunteered to pick up the extra shift because we just had to fire somebody. Of course I was stuck at the front with crap duty. So this dude comes up, and he's got attitude just dripping off him. I'm taking care of my end of the job, and the guy just commences to f-bomb the hell out of me, and every other living soul over a penny. Tells me to tell the next person that needs one, to go "f" themselves. So I give him back his cash, hand him the bills, go to give him the change, and he closes his hand and pulls it away so the change I'm giving him falls everywhere. Then he gives me a nasty look.
So there's two young ladies being escorted by a young man, and they are next in line. The kid is getting nervous, and the girls are getting scared because this guy has gone full blown psycho. So I need to get him out of the place. I told him, "you dropped your change there", and he leans over the counter, looks me in the eye and say, "Take the change and shove it down your f****in' throat". So I told him to have a good day, and he left. About 10 seconds later when the kids finally came up, I apologized to them for that uncomfortable scene, and the bast**d comes right back in the front door, looks right at me and says, "what the f*ck did you just say!". So he had been waiting outside the door. I looked right at him and said, "I'm talking to my next customer". and he finally left. I told management, just to cover a** in case he calls corporate and says I was rude to him or something. They couldn't tell what really happened on the cheap video we have, so they were skeptical of my story, which just made my day that much better.
I was in no mood to spend the night in jail, or lose my job (tempting as it was), so I just had to stand there and put up with his bull. I'll tell ya, that was a toughy. I was raised not to tolerate that behavior from anybody, including while on the job. I don't mind getting cussed out, that's just part of life. But some screaming jerk getting right up in my actual face, that kinda pisses me off.
