Some customers just don’t know when to keep their mouths shut!

And if you’ve ever worked in a store of any kind, you know that’s the truth.

Check out how this worker got a bit of petty revenge on a customer who decided to stick her nose in where it didn’t belong!

Two ounces of cashews.

“At work I measure out two ounces of cashews in little bags.

The bag itself weighs .03 ounces so I usually do 2.03 or 2.05 ounces to make up for it.

A lady asks me for a bag of warm cashews, I hand her one and ring her up.

Here we go…

She holds them in her hand and tells me that that is not two ounces. “Ma’am I assure you they are two ounces, I measured them myself.”

She does not believe me and asks for me to measure them in front of her.

If you want to be that way…

I put the bag on the scale and it measures 2.05 ounces, so I say “Oh! Looks like you have a little more”

So I remove a single cashew from the bag and hand it back to her.

She was not happy and refused to buy the cashews, but it was worth it.”

This is why you don’t tell people how to do their jobs!

One reason, anyway.
