Some people out there think the rules just don’t apply to them…

And you’re going to read about one of them in just a second!

Some places have strict rules about when you can and cannot sell alcohol. The woman in this story didn’t seem to understand those rules, and if she did, she definitely didn’t think they applied to her!

Check out how this grocery store worker handled this difficult customer.

“But I was here early!”

“While I was working at a grocery store some years ago, there was this one particular incident that happened on a day I was not at work myself, however I came there to shop.

Laws here make it so the sale of alcohol is forbidden after 8 pm, so the store would cover up the beer aisle and fridges.

I came to the store about 7:55, and the incident happened from here.

One customer didn’t think the rules applied to her.

A woman comes into the store with a shopping cart, and sees that my colleague is about to start covering the alcohol, but says nothing and grabs a 6 pack of beer.

As the woman made her way around the store to the register, I was at self checkout minding my own business when I hear:

“WHY. DID. YOU. CLOSE. THE. ALCOHOL. SALE. SO EARLY!” Followed by: “I WAS HERE 7 MINUTES BEFORE! SCAN IT!” (She had brought a 6 pack of beer, which won’t scan in no matter what since it was now 8:03pm) “I WAS HERE BEFORE IT CLOSED! LET ME BUY IT!” yeah, you get the picture.

My colleague at the register got more and more tilted and started talking back, not sure what he said since he was much quieter.

She’s really upset about this.

Suddenly the woman starts addressing other customers “I WAS HERE BEFORE 8, SO I SHOULD BE ABLE TO BUY THIS, RIGHT?” (Insert cricket noises)

She pays for some stuff and then runs outside the store entrance and calls someone.

I am on my way out of the store at that point and hear her talking. “CHECK THE CLOCK, I WAS HERE EARLY!” “THESE IDIOTS TOLD ME IT WAS CLOSED BUT I WAS EEEEARLLYYYYY”.

The crazy lady wasn’t done yet.

Then she finally goes back inside and screams at my colleague “YOU *******.”

Not sure what happened afterwards as I was on my way home.

Man, alcoholism sure is something eh?”

I’d hate to be the employee who had to deal with that crazy lady!
