Today at work was one of the weirdest, and the most awkward and annoying days of my time at Walmart. Besides it being a weekend and being insanely busy for a small store. This one customer decided to take up 2 hours of my life, and work time for nothing short of an insanely crazy ride. Granted, she also took up 2 assistant managers, a CSM (customer service manager), and a ZMS's (zone manager specialist) time, all in one go.
She started off wanting one of the display jeeps kids can drive that we had on clearance. But then of course you needed to get a battery for it, sooooo that pisses her off. So she put her 3-4 year old son into the jeep just to see if he liked it. Nope. So then she tries out the John Deere tractor for kids. Her son ****ing loved it.
She let em test drive it up front where he runs into everything, doesn't know how to steer, keeps getting in the way of customers (to whom I had to apologize to for her son being in the way), all while his mom is enabling him by calling him to drive over and obviously doesn't give 2 ****s about whose way she is getting in.
Now were a small store, we don't have the room to have a kid test drive a tractor, let alone room for much of anything. So we were clogging up customer traffic and it wasn't pretty.
After I finally convince this kid to get out of the tractor so he and his mom can finish shopping he starts balling his eyes out. So I ended up having to drag the tractor behind them while they shopped. While everyone else got to escape and go back to their jobs. We finally made it to jewelry where she tells me this story about:
How her husband runs several businesses, and just sold a multi-million dollar business and invested in a beer distributor and just started up this other business, which he has to stay at for 12 hours a day for 6+ months because it's just starting out. And how he bought her this $12,000 diamond ring and one of her family members stole it. And how she always buys several hundred dollars worth of random stuff for her kid, because he is so spoiled and she doesn't know what else to do to get em to listen.

So I had to help her pick out a ring cause I have "good taste" and after 30 mins she picks out this crappy $28 ring........
During that process shes complimenting me saying I'm such an angel, and I'm a great help and she really appreciates me helping her out and blah blah blah. After she bought the ring she ended up running away to the beauty department to get hair dye and make-up. WHILE I HAVE TO WATCH HER KID. So for 25-30 mins I'm trying to entertain this kid by showing em jewelry and having em play with my badge and asking him basic questions. Just so he doesn't cry or freak out.
Eventually we get to the checkout and were walking down to her car (which she forget where she parked) and she's flirting with me. Asking me if I had a girlfriend, and if I did she was the luckiest girl in the world (I just said yeah) and how I'm such an angel for helping her out so much and she was giving me hugs, and wanted to give me her number (if I wasn't taken). We get to her car, and there is this huge ass dent and a buncha scratches on the rear passenger door. (So much for having a lot of money bull**** story she gave earlier). I go to put the tractor in the backseat of her car and the car is trashed. Empty food bags (McDonalds/Wawa), crumbs everywhere, paper everywhere. A ****ing disaster. (And she said she had money.... PFFT).
After I put the tractor in her car she comes around and gives me a huge hug and kisses me on the cheek. THE ****ING HELL LADY!
Ugh, walked as fast as possible inside and washed my face off. Then immediately went on break with some people where apparently my face was twitching due to stress.
****ing **** **** **** **** ****!!!! :fail:
