Enititled Bitch Custy Gets Told By Riferous

Riferous gets a Retail Balls Award for taking out an Entitled Bitch Custy at Target:

Wassup RHU?

I was in the local Target today, returning some headphones that sounded like crap (what did I expect for seven bucks, I guess).  In front of me was one patiently waiting woman and one Entitled Bitch. She didn't appear to be at first, but it didn't take long for the entitlement to reveal itself.

Entitled Bitch was attempting to return, as it turned out, an iPod shuffle.  Without a receipt.  With a lot of things, from what I gathered from the two clerks helping her, it would be no problem to at least give an in store credit, but naturally with an electronic item, there's a problem.  They even have this nifty look up thingy that will let them look up transactions by credit card number, which they offered to do. But no, Entitled Bitch's mother had purchased it with her Target card.  

Return Clerk (RC) said that they could look up the transaction with Enititled Bitch's Mom's card, but alas, EB Mom lives and hour and a half away and that wouldn't work.  RC even said if they even had the number they could type it in.

Entitled Bitch is well dressed in the kind of outfit that says she or hubby has good money to spend on bland beige jackets, so I assume that somewhere in her overpriced handbag she has a cell phone and has the option of calling EB Mom.  But no, that would just make sense!  And why should she have to go to all that trouble?

So after seeming so patient, well, at first, anyway, for the five minutes RC has been attempting to help her (and she did go out of her way in my opinion), Enititled Bitch decided that she was not getting what she was entitled to, and engaged Bitch Mode.

"See, this is why - you're returns are just so - I always have problems here.  I don't like shopping here, and I am not going to shop here any more!"  There are two more people who have joined the line behind me, making a total of four people that Entitled Bitch is holding up at this point.  

Consider my buttons pushed.

I cut her off mid-sentence with "BRING A RECEIPT NEXT TIME."  

I know I shocked the shit out of her because she stopped talking and took a full three seconds before she turned around to look at me with That Face.  You know the face, the one where some entitled whore just absolutely can not believe that someone dared to point out that she might be - *gasp* - WRONG.

"It was a gift!"

In about three nanoseconds I put together that this was a gift, from her mother, likely to one of her litter of entitled crotch spawn, who decided that a 2 GB iPod shuffle was NOT what they were entitled to, and Enitled Bitch had decided that Target owed it to her to take it back because she said so.  A gift.  A. Gift.  And she was giving RC hell for doing her job. 

Unfortunately I was only able to come back with "Don't bring it back if you can't follow the rules", but I did manage to completely ignore her as I walked to the register and she left quickly and quietly, probably seething with anger that some rude prick dared to speak to her in that manner in public.  I like to think that she complained loudly to her husband, who pretended to listen to her and calm her down so that he could get the blow job he was entitled to.

RC clerk said "Thanks", and I said "I just want to return this" as I handed her my headphones WITH THE RECEIPT.  Even though I had opened them she processed the transaction without a hitch and I went on my merry way, thinking about how good it felt to be able to say something to someone who truly deserved it.

Until next time, stay classy RHU!

Very nice!

Most people I know who give gifts keep the receipt on the chance the receiver wants to return it.

Besides the fact that the buyer likely had the receipt or a gift receipt, there is also the fact that I consider it bad to return a gift. Sure if it's the wrong size or something, but when it's just that it isn't good enough and you'd rather have the cash.....

If I had a dime for every time a customer came up to me in Target and said "I'm never shopping here again" and another co-worker would shoot back "SEE YOU NEXT WEEK!" - I don't think I'd ever have to work another day in my life.

Don't you just love it when you take an entitled customer down a peg when you're a customer yourself? Because they know there's nothing they can do. They can't threaten to report you to your manager or try and get you fired because you don't work there. All they can do is rack their tiny brains for a lame comeback or storm off with their tail between their legs.

[many bells down]

You know, if she took it to an Apple store they'd probably take it right back without the receipt. Minus a "restock" fee, if it was opened, but I think they just take anything, no questions asked.

I'm betting the bitch is returning it for one shit reason or another, like little Suzy doesn't like what color it was or the type of player it was.

I'm from a similar school of thought as Logan-- What the fuck ever happened to just being thankful you got anything at all? It's one thing if it doesn't work, but the fact she won't call the gift giver says to me there's nothing wrong with it, she just doesn't like something about it, but it works fine. So she refuses to look rude by telling someone she hates the gift in order to get the receipt to return in, but she's perfectly willing to make a scene in public because because she wanted the pink one and not whatever the fuck color she got.

I wonder what their excuse would be when Grandma asks "How does little Suzy like her new iPod I sent?" ..."Well, she really wanted the purple one with yellow polka dots, so we brought it back to Target and got the cash and spent it on a new video game instead"

You should gess Koss Porata Pro. They are the best sounds with a great bass. Perfect for your listening experience (and no, I did not get paid to write that). If you like headphones better than those little tampon thingies you plug into your ear...

[Yingafred]

It really... REALLY ticks me off when people want to return gifts simply because they don't like it. It's so fucking rude. HNNNNNG.

And Riferous, you are my forever hero... <3

High five Riferous! You rawk! I hope I can have your spine if I see a fellow slave being abused by these custies.

[Diane]

It does at least explain why she didn't want to call her Mom for the card number. "Well, Mom, I need it to return the gift you gave little Snotnose yesterday. Yes, I know you went out of your way to get what he wanted, but you didn't get the right color. Well, Snotnose wanted it in blue. What do you mean, they don't come in blue? Just yell loud enough and they'll paint one for you."

[Kittyfoster]

If a relative of mine gives me back a gift I gave them because they didn't like it....well, they don't get anything else!!
I have a relative that gives back gifts because they don't like/need/doesn't fit.
OK, thanks, I'll return it and KEEP THE $$!

[LilBigRed]

as a slave of bullseye.. who went thru this exact issue at my own return counter.. I say thank you!! it's not often at all that we get bitched out by entitled bitches and treated like crap when we are only doing our jobs!

kudos to you!! :)
