It’s amazing how quickly some people lose it when they don’t get the answer they want.
Today, we’ll meet a supermarket employee who had this very thing happen after a customer asked for cash back right after the store opened.
Since the registers were still empty, she explained that they didn’t have enough cash to give him yet.
Even after a manager told him the same thing, he stormed out and kicked a display on the way.
Then, just a few minutes later, he came back carrying a fire extinguisher.
Read on to see what happened next.
A customer throws a 9 AM chemical tantrum because he doesn’t understand how cash back works
I work at a retail supermarket, and just yesterday right at 9:00 AM, we had our first customer of the day walk in and demand a cash withdrawal.
Our company allows people to do cash back from their bank accounts at the till, but the catch is that we can only pay out what we’ve actually taken in from cash-paying customers only.
Since the store had just opened and the tills were empty, I told him we didn’t have the funds yet.
When the guy came back, he seemed even more upset.
He absolutely lost his mind and demanded a manager. When she came out and explained the exact same thing, he stormed out of the store violently kicking a display plant on his way out.
We thought the drama was over, but five minutes later this guy bursts back through the doors wielding a fire extinguisher. Before any of us could even react he started spraying the entire front staff with it, screamed that he was phoning corporate, and marched back out.
We were all just standing there covered in white powder, completely shocked. It was barely the start of the morning shift, and we had already witnessed a grown man throw a temper tantrum, assault a plant, and commit a literal felony before most people have even had their morning coffee.
Yikes! Hopefully they called the police on that guy.
Let’s take a look at what the folks over at Reddit would’ve done in this situation.
This person’s manager had eggs thrown at them.
Now, here’s how customers should act.
This person has never dealt with someone so upset.

According to this comment, people think the liquor store is a bank.
The guy completely lost his mind.
Not being able to get cash back when you need it is very annoying, but it’s hardly something worth throwing a fit over.
But then, he really showed the kind of person he is when he came back with the fire extinguisher.
Let’s hope they called the police and the guy got arrested, because that’s just terrible.
