Me: "Can you please describe the complaint?"
Customer: "It's about an order I got last week. My balloon bouquets deflated, and they ruined my grand opening!"
Me: "I’m so sorry to hear that, ma’am. Could I ask when you purchased the balloons?"
Customer: "[Date Five Days Ago]!"

By this point, all the shelves are gone. The entire building is just wooden crates and empty space. Only five of us are still working, and we’re all sitting near the back entrance, a big garage door, lifted maybe a meter for ventilation.
Suddenly, a man ducks under the half-closed garage, nods casually at us, and just walks straight inside.
23 Cattastic Memes of Cats Filling Shopping Carts and Emptying Wallets

Evidence suggests felines are hopelessly hooked on retail purrapy. They nap on keyboards until the exact moment a sale goes live, then pounce. Click click and purrchase. Shopping lists become whiskerlists stocked with feather wands, crinkle tunnels, sardine pillows, and twelve identical cardboard condos for "investment purrposes." Every day turns into Caturday Cyber Monday. Packages arrive, meowney vanishes, and the real prize is always the box, delivered with furime shipping straight to the throne room.
Cats adore a good catalog scroll: "Add to cat" here, "paws to pay" there, coupon code MEOW10 applied with ruthless efficiency. Their loyalty plan boasts Nine Lives Rewards and a free sparkle ball every thousand zoomies. Returns policy? Pawntless. If a toy is ignored for five minutes, it is archived under the couch until 3 a.m. when it becomes essential again.
Final tally: carts stuffed with crinkle toys, jinglers, and a "totally different" scratcher. Wardrobe rotates bow ties and bandanas; décor trends cardboard chic; budget converts to treat points. Doorbell rings, goods earn three sniffs, two zoomies, five purrs, and the packaging is promoted to MVP: Most Valuable Plaything until the next flash sale.

Read Mask and You Shall Receive
I work in a large clothing store, and during COVID lockdowns and restrictions, we had to deal with constant checks from COVID marshals. This meant we were frequently reminding customers to wear masks properly and to keep to the social distancing markers on the floor.

We have a spineless manager who gives in to every customer request, and I do mean EVERY one. He ignores store policy every time a customer raises their voice. We have an annoying group of regular customers who have realized this and demand to speak to this manager every time they don't get their own way.

Pets have a way of weaving themsevles so deeply into a family that they become much more than just animals. They can be a comforting companion, a listening ear, even a best friend. Growing up, my parents' tabby cat Julia wasn't just "the cat," she was the glue that held me and my parents together. A family photo didn't look complete without her, she got her own presents on Christmas, and we even celebrated her birthday every year. The idea of losing her, especially to someone else's household, would have been totally unthinkable.
That's the very dilemma one young dad and pet pawrent finds himself in. He entrusted his beloved cat, Ella, to his sister while his wife is in the hospital during a difficult pregnancy. This was always meant to be a temporary arrangement, but when it came time to bring Ella home, his sister and her family had a surprising (and frankly impolite) request. In just a few weeks, Ella had wriggled her way into their hearts, and now they simply couldn't let go. Instead of taking this as motivation to adopt their own new fluffy family member, they actually tried to convince him to them keep her forever!

Read Double Of You Is Still Less Than Half Of What I Am
I’m working the register when a couple comes up wanting to split a purchase on one item. No big deal, it can be a bit of a headache, but it’s doable.
Me: "Alright, your total comes to $18.45. What would half of that be, so I can split it?"
The guy immediately sneers.
Customer: "You don’t know what half of $18.45 is?"

One of the managers’ jobs was to check dates on food, which they frequently missed. Anything I found over the weekend, I’d remove from sale, write it off, leave the write-off receipt on the desk for the managers, and bin the items.
One of the managers decided that this was bad (for reasons) and made it a rule that only managers could write anything off or handle refunds.
