Best Retail Store Stories (Non-Fish Related)

[DMasker]

So I wanted a place where we can all share are best stories of retail stores (funny, good, bad, ect.) Ill start with my personal favorite experience.

I was at a Wal-Mart here in New Jersey years ago and over the intercom my mom and I hear: "If anyone has found the forklift please notify the front office, thank you." I think someone got fired that day..... Lol

So post em up people!

Something happens to people once they enter a store.... Not everyone but most. I see it every time. Looking for something and its right in front of them. Why can't you give me a lower price.... I don't want to wait in line.... Its a massive list.....

I was working at home depot. My friend went on the intercom to say something but messed up and said some... Derogatory terms. The intercom at home depot has a lag of a few seconds before it comes over the speakers. It was horrible, he ran out of the store and never came back. He was out of the store by the time it went over the intercom lol!

I was at the grocery store waiting for the wife to hurry up. There was a smashed banana on the floor and I thought it was funny after all the cartoons and falls I've seen. Well, 2 seconds later this lady walks by and, whoops! She went 4 ft. up in the air and, kapow! Up until that point in time I never once thought you could slip on a banana or peel or both! (btw-she was attended to immediately and I am sure she sued her way back to health)

One summer several years ago, my dad had the great idea to go to meijers at 2am for chlorine tabs for the pool. The "floor walkers" like to follow me around like I'm gonna steal something. I had my doo rag on with hair down to the middle of my back. I was wearing a muscle tee with my multiple tattoos showing. I admit I do look a little suspect wandering aimlessly through the store at 2am. I got separated from my pops and had 3 or 4 people come up to me and ask if I needed any help(really anoying). The last person who came up to me had a name tag on and was wearing a radio on her belt. At this point I had enough of being followed! I replied quickly "I'm looking for my dad. he has the early stages of alzheimers and likes to eat paint."... She said "OMG!!"..and grabbed her radio and ran off. I went around the end of the isle with the pool chemical and saw my dad with an open bucket of 3" chlorine tabs smelling them to make sure they were fresh ... We put the tabs in the cart and made our way to check out and all of the employees were gawking and staring..It was all I could do to keep a straight face ... I didn't tell pops until we were almost home !!!!
