Fighting in line

Fighting in line

"I once saw a fight between strangers because someone changed lines. They did not cut in line, they just got behind the other line. And someone in front of that person — so no way they were being affected — decided to verbally attack this person. The person fought back. Nasty things were said, and both these individuals had kids with them to witness this."

Asking associates to call other stores

Asking associates to call other stores

"Don't make us call other stores to find another size, color, or length. It's the busiest day of the year and the other stores get super annoyed having to answer our call. If it wasn't meant to be, it wasn't meant to be. Just go buy it online."

Trying to sneak into the back room for products
