“This tale took place roughly 22 years ago at a community college bookstore. As with any college bookstore, the start of the semester was incredibly busy. In order to help ease the insanity in our small store, we set up a table outside the front door for doing returns. That’s where I was stationed for the day. People got in line. They got to me. I processed the paperwork for their return and sent them inside for the cashiers. This is an important point. I had no cash, no ability to process cards. Just me, a table, a stack of paper, and some pens. That’s it. Well, a middle-aged lady got to me. Her son dropped all his classes, and she was returning his books. OK, cool. I do all the paperwork, hand her back the document, and direct her inside. She went BALLISTIC that she has to wait in line again.”
“I mean starting nuclear wars ballistic. The customers in line behind her actually went to my manager to file formal statements about her behavior. Not mine, hers. I took a break and shook it off. Everyone has bad days, and I know I have the customers’ statements to back me up. A few days passed, and then my manager got a call.
It was the president of the college. With a complaint. Yeah, THE WOMAN CALLED THE PRESIDENT OF THE COLLEGE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT ME. So, my manager and I headed off to a meeting with the president and the woman. We walked in, calm and polite. The woman told her tirade, still screaming and cursing. My manager pulled out the statements and, without a word, handed them to the president. The president calmly read them. I don’t remember exactly what he said, but I do remember watching the woman turn more and more red. I do remember the word ‘entitled’ being used a whole lot. And I do remember him saying, ‘Don’t waste my time ever again.’ before he showed her the door.”
