Some customers can’t follow a simple store policy, even if it’s within reason.

The following story involves an employee who refused a customer’s cash withdrawal because the tills were empty right after opening.

The customer became furious, demanded a manager, and stormed out.

But minutes later, the man returned with a weapon and attacked all of the employees inside in a way they never expected.

Oh no! What an aggressive customer! Read the full story below for all the details.

A customer throws a 9 AM chemical tantrum because he doesn’t understand how cash back works

I work at a retail supermarket.

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.

Since the store had just opened and the tills were empty, I told him we didn’t have the funds yet.

The customer got upset, walked out, and came back with a fire extinguisher.

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.

He screamed that he was phoning corporately and marched back out.

They were all shocked by what happened.

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.

Whoa! That’s completely insane.

The customer can’t seem to accept “no” or a reasonable answer. OP and his manager were simply following the store’s policy

How and where he got the fire extinguisher is a mind-boggle, but wow! Who would do that, right?

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

This one is curious.

Lol. Exactly, right?
