Rude Woman Demands Discount On A 50 Cent Christmas Ornament, Retail Worker Gets Revenge

I agree with the commenter about not telling her the other stores got sold out too. Let her drive around, waste time, energy, gas etc. and get frustrated and mad until the realization finally strikes (or doesn't, considering she doesn't seem that bright).

I think if I was standing behind this woman. I would have simply said."I will take all 12 for a buck a pop" forked over $12. Than simply would have handed it back to the clerk and said Merry Christmas. you are the proud owner of 12 stars

All hail the vengeful Christmas lady! Haha I so love this. Customers can be insane.

Excellent! She managed to get some kind of justice for the customer's nasty attitude without even being rude to her. I delight in her method of "revenge".

I'm just wondering how much money the woman spent on gas, returning to the store the next day when the ornaments were marked down to 90% off? I mean, even if they were still available, I feel like she would have come out ahead if she'd just sucked it up and bought them them for 75% off.

I think I would've had to tell her that I had bought them all...

This is the most excellent revenge post I've read yet.

Are you actually kidding me, such scandal for 50 cents ? ._.

As a former retail slave of 27 years, I applaud her act of "revenge".

It really is a nice ornament.

When I worked at a pet groomers, we had one customer with a Shih Tzu that would always drop her dog off early in the morning without an appointment (no biggie), would leave the dog from 7:30 am to 6pm (kind of a biggie since we closed at 5:30pm), never brushed her dog in between grooms (the dog was always seriously matted) then proceeded to complain constantly about the price even though she paid half of all the other customers with the same dog. During her last visit, the dog was so matted..the shop owner shaved the matts out to save the dog pain and suffering from a brush out. The owner (who showed up at 6:15 to pick up the dog) went into a meltdown tizzy right in the lobby. Two months later, the dog comes in with matts even worse. Shop owner says shave the dog and then tells me to let the owner know she is blacklisted from the shop. Thank God it was by phone (she sent her son in to pick up the dog.) You've never heard a woman cuss so much, but I was smiling the whole time

Jeremiah Deezy Heninger hit the nail on the head with his comment. Retail (like so many other jobs dealing with the general public) is a thankless job. I salute you, Sarah, for retaliating in such a manner! No one got hurt, no rules/laws were broken, and the 'little guy' made a stand for us all!

Awesome!

That she-orc was clearly well-off, dressed in fine clothes and driving a Lexus. And she wanted to save a buck on cheap ornaments? Serves her right that they all "vanished."

As someone who has worked in retail, I say "BRAVO! You are my hero!"

Working Retail : when you learn all about the darkness lurking in humanity... for every ten reasonable customers there's always one on the verge of criminal insanity. It takes remarkable restraint and tact to be good at retail sales (Not a great job for a wise a*s like me with little patience for entitled idiots...)

Merry Spitemas!

Love it

I have to say I was at a store once when someone wanted the next days discount price (going down to I think 75% from 50% the next day) and was very hostile with the cashier when they wouldn't change the price early. Said they would be back, flounced out, and I proceeded to buy every last one (only like $10 worth of stuff so not going to break the bank). The cashier managed to keep from laughing until I was heading out the door. Gave them to friends.

I feel for retail workers ALL year, but especially around the holidays. I always try to be extra nice and patient, many of these kids are in high school for crying out loud. We didn't start out as professionals, CEO's or Managers ourselves, so cut them some slack. I'm always especially nice to medical personnel and the people who handle my food as well.

I would've put all of them on sale for $5 a piece.

Or you could have avoided spending $30 by hiding them in the back of the shop for an hour... y'all!

lmao!!! i love it!

"People like that are not usually self-aware enough to see themselves from the perspective of those they view as below them.” That is so profoundly true.

She could have bought it and ask for a price adjustment tomorrow

Plot twist: That was the owner of all the stores, and she does this every year to sell some unsold items before they go too cheap! :)

Yeah, spending $30 on ornaments so one person with more money than you, can't get them, and will stop thinking about you tomorrow whereas you still carry this around with you 17 years later. You're totally the winner here.

Am I the only one who doesn't believe this? So, she worked in a "retail store" as opposed to just a store. And she took the time to notice that this woman was driving a "high-end Lexus", in contrast to those cheap Lexuses we see all the time. But really, who takes the time to notice what kind of car a would-be customer is driving? As for buying all the ones she had in her store, she could just have said they were sold out. And then ringing around all those other stores? Sorry, but this story has too many holes in it.
