So my husband came back from the grocery store yesterday and told me about a scene he had just witnessed where a couple were trying to return something at the checkout counter for more than it was worth. The young female cashier was polite and tried to explain the price but also that they would have to do the return at the customer service counter. The woman in the couple starts yelling at her calling her a B and a C and says you're treating me this way because I am black (over and over) and her man says that the cashier needs to treat them like human beings, they are yelling at her very loudly and making a scene and this little girl is near tears. Finally they storm up to the customer service counter and make a scene there before leaving. Things like that blow my mind.......would you have stepped in or minded your own business? I'm not sure what I would have done, because you can't predict crazy.

I've never heard it called a phone before.6 -
People don't understand they look like complete *kitten* when they make accusations like they were and them not be true. I usually laugh at people like that and shake my head. I don't get involved because that would put me in the "look stupid" category with them. I do need to remember to take my phone out though and capture it, so all of social media can laugh along with me.3

I did this a few months ago. It was kind of a similar situation, except the people were trying to use coupons that the store didn't accept. I was sarcastic and was "Fake Yelling" at the girl. It made her laugh (as well as my daughter made her laugh from laughing at her crazy dad)
People like this are simply trash to the world, and nothing more. Gotta love em. I feel bad for cashiers.0 -

Yep, this. Unfortunately as a well meaning bystander you could get a cap in your *kitten* by intervening with those scumbags0 -

I get this serving, when people see others being *kitten* and they are like "we like you" or "theyre jerks" or something. People are good sometimes0 -

If you're yelling at someone who works for the store and has nothing to do with propane tank placement then there is something not right with you and you are sure as hell not in the right. If you get your panties twisted over propane tank placement enough to scream in someones face then you got bigger problems.....I'm talking mental ones.4 -
Nope but I would have alerted a supervisor somewhere of an out of control customer. Been there, done that. People always looking to get something for free and they'll raise a stink trying to do it hoping they can embarrass you until you say yes.1

Nope. Not my circus, not my monkeys.3
