Don’t be rude to the people you want to help you

My wife works for a barn that sells hammers.

A customer approached the service desk.

He has a large broken outdoor umbrella.

First thing out of his mouth is “I’m a lawyer,” an implicit threat.

The rude customer demanded a refund for his broken umbrella.

He then demands a refund for the umbrella he bought the morning before.

The umbrella clearly has been wind damaged, and the previous afternoon had been exceptionally windy.

Refund declined.

The staff looked through their records and CCTV, and reported the rude customer.

Customer gets rather unpleasant and threatens to escalate to corporate.

The staff bid him good day.

The umbrella was later found dumped in the car park.

The staff then checked through sales records and cctv to identify the customer and report him to council for illegal dumping.

Serves him right!
