Some customers think they can easily bypass store policies.

If you worked at a grocery store and saw a customer trying to break the rules, would you turn a blind eye or confront the customer about the store policies?

This woman is working in a grocery store where a customer can only buy one dozen eggs.

She saw a lady take 4 dozen, so she decided to inform her of the store policy.

It got pretty dramatic.

Read the story below for all the details.

Crying won’t get you anywhere

I work for a small chain grocery store.

By some miracle, they’ve managed to keep egg prices somewhat reasonable, but it’s limited to one dozen per customer.

This woman saw one customer take 4 dozen eggs.

I’m checking out a customer and noticed she has 4 dozens in her cart.

I said, “Unfortunately, eggs are limited to one dozen per customer.”

She says, “Yeah, I saw the signs, but wondered if you’d make an exception. My husband is vegetarian, and we spend thousands of dollars here.”

So, she called a manager.

Um, no.

I called over a manager.

She got more annoyed, and said I was rude and accused her of stealing.

Which I didn’t.

Her boss asked her to take a walk for a while so the customer could finish her shopping.

My boss told me to take a walk and she’d finish the transaction because this lady kept blaming me for everything.

When I came back, said boss said she started crying after I left.

Rules are rules, and that customer learned the hard way that she has to follow them.

Let’s find out what others have to say about this on Reddit.
