Every retail worker has that one bad shift that makes them question their career choices.

For this cashier, it happened when a customer with an $800 order came in with a rotten attitude.

But when the customer resorted to insults in another language, it was the cashier’s final straw.

Talking about me in another language

So it’s about half an hour into my shift and this four-cart full order comes through my line. I get to it and the lady starts being rude.

Right from the start, it was clear this wasn’t going to be an easy transaction.

She got a few pairs of headphones and decided she didn’t want them, so instead of giving them to me, she just put them on top of the soda cooler at the end of my register.

Instantly annoyed.

Next, she has this broken bag of shrimp and yells at me to get her a new one.

I faked a smile as my supervisor went to go get her a new one.

But then the rude customer kicks things up another notch.

I’m nearing the end of her order, and this lady tells me to hurry the **** up and that she’s in a hurry.

Uh, lady, the total is almost at $800.

Why would you go do big shopping like this when you’re in a hurry? That doesn’t make sense.

Finally, I get her stuff scanned and ask if she would like any bags.

And here’s where things truly get nasty.

She says 30, so I add those and go to get the bags when I see I don’t have any.

I ask my coworker for them and he gets them for me. She started yelling at him about how he better count them out. He did.

I get her out of my line, thankfully, and she starts going on about something in Spanish.

The cashier may not have understood, but someone else nearby sure did.

Now, my coworker also speaks Spanish and later told me that she was talking about how awful I was.

Hmmm, well I was being my normal self. But god forbid I do that, right?

I need a vacation.

What a nightmare customer.

What did Reddit have to say?

When customers play mind games, this user likes to play them right back!

If you’re going to be nasty, at least say it with your chest out.

Some people will do just about anything to get the last word.

Hypocritical customers are the worst.

With a customer this bad, retail workers are left with no other choice than to just grin and try to bear it.

This story only shows that retail truly isn’t for the weak.
