You can tell a lot about someone based on how they choose to treat retail employees.

So when one shopper witnessed a rude customer acting superior towards the staff, they decided to deliver a pointed act of payback.

Privileged Folk

My favorite thing to do to entitled jerks when I see them treating someone poorly (for example, giving an employee a hard time in Target) is to walk to them and hand them an item and ask, “Excuse me. Can you do a price check on this for me?”

Here’s where they deliver the final punch.

When they inevitably tell me, “I don’t work here,” I slowly look them up and down and smirk and say, “Oh, well—sorry. I thought that was your work uniform.”

They’ve got this pretty much down to a science.

It works better when used on uppity white women dressed up and dripping in jewelry.

They lose their mind.

Don’t be an jerk to retail employees. ☮️

They were only matching these rude customers’ energies!
