Just being petty

I went to Wal Mart Saturday to look for some fishing gear. They do have some decent stuff like lures, hooks and line, but I never buy rods or reels from there. I was standing at the end of the isle, looking at some crappie jigs and there were 2 young guys putting rods in the display. If you ever looked at rods in Wal Mart, you'll see that some are way up on the wall, where it's hard for an average size person like me to reach. I'm average height 5' 9".

These 2 young men, I'd say around 20 years old, were well over 6 ft tall and apparently didn't see me because they were joking about putting them out of reach. It was all fun and games till they got nasty about it and started saying how they don't give a f**k about customers and they hoped somebody pulled the whole thing down on their head.
I walked around the corner, stood there for about 10 seconds and asked one of them "Can I see that rod right there ? " and pointed to one they just put up. I took my time looking at it, handed it back and said " Can you hand me that other one ? ". Long story short, I spent about 15 minutes getting them to hand me rods, looking them over and giving them back to go on to the next one.

Then after all that, I said " Thanks fellas" and walked away without buying anything.

I bet it made you feel a little bigger...

Don't piss off short people. There's a lot of evil packed in a small space and it can erupt at any time.

I would have reported that conversation you overheard, but you got your point across.

Good for you.
It seems customer service is a dying industry.

Without customers, No job.

Idiots

As a somewhat crotchety person of a 5' 5" stature who hates shopping at walmart... sir I would have done the exact same thing
Bravo.

Did you thank them for caring so much for a customer? I would have dropped that line so they really can be sure it's because of the smack talk conversation before

And to the size ridiculers, I'm fairly short too with 159cm and ally with the OP, so bring it.

Ummmm... I only do metrics.... Sorry

HUHUHUHU that's what she said.

Did you expect a higher caliber of employee at Walmart? The other day I was told to go f myself because I asked where the toy section had moved during their remodel while looking for a Walmart exclusive Monster Jam set for my son. I literally did nothing but ask where that section was. I generally detest Karens and in my line(s) of work understand a customer causing a brief snap but just being a malicious dick for no reason... It worked out well that one of the assistant overnight managers I oversaw when I managed my local store briefly had become store manager. Never gotten anyone fired before but damn that felt good and I didn't feel the slightest tinge of guilt. I recommend it.

Well done.

To all the short people in this thread, you are all teeny peeps. Like my 13 year old niece. Only not as tall.

I bet you did the right thing there, but i also remember when i was working in one of the first jobs i had, years and years ago in this shop where you could get flowers, trees and other gardening supplies,

Anyways, i worked there around three years, and in that time, probably 50 people tried to pick a fight with me, it was very strange, who in the hell goes to a gardening supply store to pick a fight with a kid?


I guess what i am saying, is that you dont know what they might have to deal with, customers service is not fun considering how many mentally ill people there are out there these days.

Well at least the workers spoke English!
