Grocery stores provide plenty of products, but apparently some shoppers also expect the merchandise to double as furniture.

When you need a rest, do you find a chair or sit directly on someone’s inventory?

One customer chose the boxes, then became offended when a stocker suggested they were not designed for that purpose.

The merchandise however, had its own response.

I thought it was obvious

I’m a stocker at a regional grocery chain.

I have a pallet in my aisle and I’ve got my cart, and I’m working the pallet.

Then a customer does the unexpected.

Some lady comes by and decides to sit on the boxes on the pallet, drawing my attention.

Me: “Could you not sit on our products?”

The customer somehow makes the stocker out to be the problem.

Lazy Customer: “Well you don’t need to be rude about it!”

Luckily, karma steps in.

As she says this, one of the boxes collapses under her weight.

Me: “I thought it was obvious…”

Goes back to stocking.

Common sense is nowhere to be found here.

What did Reddit think?

It really should be obvious.

Some people have zero survival instincts.

This rude customer better be ready to pay up.

This customer really has the audacity to call someone else rude.

The customer accused the stocker of being rude for asking her not to sit on the store’s products.

Before she finished complaining, the box collapsed beneath her and OP quietly returned to work.

Nothing strengthens an employee’s argument quite like the merchandise immediately presenting its own live demonstration.
