Oh yes! There were always a few regulars who live to make your life miserable. And if I see them coming, I try to get out of Dodge if you know what I mean. Suddenly, I have to pee like I’ve never had to pee before my life lol

Haha yes!! That sudden “emergency bathroom break” hits real quick when you see that customer stroll in. Pure survival instinct 😂
Aw, as someone who has lived this before, I can sympathize with the woman. I mean, I understand it's annoying, but I have been there, living paycheck to paycheck, strategically trying to decide what item I needed more and which to put back.
I have also been poor. You can use a calculator as you shop and track the cost that way. This person's method of waiting until they are at the cash-wrap is inconsiderate.
Oh God yes...when I worked at a retail store they didn't realize sales do add up and when we had to do go backs, we had half the store in one buggy.

Ikrrr. People would pile on sale items like they were free samples and then look shocked when it rang up over $100.
I had a couple when I worked at a men’s clothing store, who would come in, pick up an item, ask you for the price, if it wasn’t clearance or too low they’d put it back or ask if we could lower the price 😂🤷🏻♀️
To make it worse they’d bring you clearance items and ask you to scan it. It’d go on for about 20-30 mins usually and if they didn’t like the price they’d try to negotiate it or just leave
I still remember this one customer’s face, she was hands down the most ruthless I’ve ever dealt with. She’d come in a wheelchair and demand someone assist her while she shopped, treating them like a personal assistant, only to yell at them the whole time. We even had a nickname for her: “the chicken lady” (long story behind that one). Lol.
Chief
Wow, “The Chicken Lady” sounds intense! Some customers really know how to test your patience, huh?
YES!!! At the store I worked at we had so many people that would do this regularly, like it was a hobbie. One of them was a regular that would come maybe 3x a month. She would do this only to buy one or two items and usually the CHEAPEST items too. I always wondered why people did this...
