Not really funny but more significant. Went into ASDA (England) and they wouldn't let me in because I was a schoolkid, I was 15. I told them that's discrimination and unfair, went home and wrote them a letter. The letter changed their rules forever and I got in the newspaper PERSISTANCE FTW :P

A few weeks ago, some friends and I walked into Walmart, and saw a girl walking quickly toward the exit with a rather short bald guy chasing her. He caught up to her, grabbed her, and slammed her into a soda machine. We were about to try to stop him, but then he pulled out a pair of handcuffs...It turns out he was undercover security, and she was stealing a purse full of stuff from the store.

I was at eb games once, buying a game. I get to the cash and the guy was like "Oh, I'm guessing this isn't for you." to which I replied it was, and he seemed skeptical and found it funny. then I teased him about saying "What? you don't think I could play games?", and then his co-worker started laughing at him. the guy said he felt embarassed. giggles were had.

I blacked out and fell flat on my face in the middle of one of the aisles.One woman was rude enough to not only not help me up and check if I was alright, but proceeded to ram her pram into me in an effort to get by.

I went to GameStop and the employees were both girl and around 5'2" - 5'3", so they were going to scan the games on the top shelf and one told me to pick her up so that she can reach, even though I told her that I'd do it. What a day, I always go to that GameStop now. :D

I was handling 2 bag of cadburys mini eggs and was waiting in line with my mother. She asked me to go put something in the car... so I get out and I go put the things in the car and I witness that I still have the 2 bags of candy in my hand. For not starting a fuzz, I just put the candy in the car with the package and I went back.

I could have took 1000$ of stuff and everything would have been fine. If I went back in the store with the candies in my hand, I would have been in real trouble...

First was taken aback, then chuckled and said she must be miserable if her husband fits my pants - my suggestive manner disarmed the situation and ended up helping her make her choice as a male model.

Having worked as a manager in retail I have quite a few stories. But one that I always remember is when this woman came up to the register I was at with her items. She looked at me and then at my name tag and smiled at me. She said, "You look pretty young, you old enough to be a manager?" I laughed a little and told her I just look young for my age. She asked my age and I told her and she said, "wow, I would've never guessed. But it doesn't matter, you're still cute though." I smiled and felt myself blush a little when she asked me if I could give her a discount. Having figured out what all that nice talk was for I told her that discounts are only for employees. She pouted and proceeded to ask me over and over, pleading to give her a discount. I didn't know what the big deal was, it was only 10% so she wasn't saving much. I told her that and she just insisted because she didn't want to pay the full amount if I had the power to give her a discount.

She was really starting to get annoying and wouldn't stop. I kept answering nicely, "No, no, I can't do that. I could get fired..." on and on. This went on for a few minutes and I tried to make an excuse to leave her there when the cashier came back from her break. I just broke away when she came back only to have psycho chick try and follow me still asking for a discount. I was like what the hell is wrong with this woman? I just about had enough and told her, "Maam, I'm not allowed to do that." as angrily as I could. She looked at me, put her hand on my arm, leaned in close and said, "What if I s*** your ****?" I nearly choked on my gum. To make a long story short (and to keep out any details that might get me suspended), I gave in at that point and she got her discount.

I was at a gamestop and some little ginger kids came in with their parents. They ran around destorying everything. They knocked over shelves and even beheaded the cardboard cut-out link from back when twilight princess came out.

When I worked in PCs at Circuit City a few years ago I was in the desktop PC aisle at night. Some biker guy walked up to me and asked where our cold beer was.

He was piss drunk! He thought he was in Publix (grocery store)! I seriously thought for a second I was on some candid camera type show...

Same store but in laptops, I had a little old lady come up and ask me to help her, but I was already helping other customers and pointed her in the direction of a female associate. The little old lady began to cry and said, "I don't want women to help me. I'm sexist." I was stunned.

Another time (I've told this one a few times here) was when I was selling this really hawt girl a laptop and accessories for her first year in college. As I was finishing up the father told her, "Now I don't want you ruining this computer by looking at porn." And the hawt daughter replied, "alright, I'll stop looking at bestiality too." Wow... I almost fell over.

After a fierce debate about who would get the last GTA IV copy in our only local vide game retailer( not gamestop) with some American, I managed to get it. I beat around 400 other people the copy. All because I kept calling them to make sure I have my copy. :) Tuens out I reserved my copy while he just came in to get a non reserved copy. Beat him easily.

lol if she was willing to that for a small 10% discount then you used her my friend. I have two jobs. One at kmart and one at my local theatre, however I don't really have that many strange stories. I felt wierd tonight when I was in line and this woman was talking her boyfriend and suddenly the conversation turned extremely different. The guy looked at these batteries and goes, "hmm I wonder where these are made at." I said, "sir I don't really reccomend those batteries. They are cheap but they are extremely crappy." and he goes "Hey they are made in the usa!" and I jokingly replied, "yeah thats probably why they are crappy." Then he gets serious and says, "Look at it this way. Everytime you buy something made in china, you are cutting off one of your fingers." and I said, "Well I guess im out of fingers." then he goes, "You buy that stuff and we are getting closer and closer to communism. Pretty soon you won't be able to go outside without the governments permission!" then he his girlfriend said, "Well we are living in the last days anyway and I hope we aren't around for that. I just prey that the good lord takes us home." They walked away and I couldn't believe at the conversation that I just had.

another story is this fetis woman that goes to your register. She is the sister of one of my bosses. She rolls her wheel chair up to you and says, "I don't want this. I don't want this. I don't want this. I changed my mind about this..." after she gets done a pile of crap is pouring out of my register and all she wants is a box of macaroni or beans or something and goes, "That betta be the wight pwice cuz im [superiors name] sista."

Something very strange happened to me in a grocery store a little more than a week ago. I had just drank a can of Sprite and I needed to pee really bad. The bathroom had two stalls and a urinal. The urinal looked like someone took a dump in it, one stall was closed and the last stall had someone in it. So while I peeing in the urinal, I heard weird sounds coming from the stall. It sounded like farts or something. I was distracted, thus making it hard to urinate. The sounds continued. I ignored it and started to do my business. But then I started to hear very weird sounds. It sounded like gurgling sounds. And then some coughing and then spitting sounds. I wanted to leave, but I had already started. He continued to make these sounds. When I was finishing I heard a sound that sounded like he was puking. I had finished my business and washed my hands. When I was about to leave the bathroom, the guy comes out with his pants unzipped holding a chisel (he worked in the store too!). He looked at me and said "Sup man." I was very confused and decided to leave the bathroom as fast as I could. After I got all I needed and was in the parking lot I saw the same guy. I tried not to make eye contact and tried to ignore him. I never knew what happened in that stall... I also once went to Gamestop and saw two copies of Zack and Wiki. One was priced 29.99 and the other was 19.99. That was really weird! But I dont think that is as weird as the grocery store thing...

Something very strange happened to me in a grocery store a little more than a week ago. I had just drank a can of Sprite and I needed to pee really bad. The bathroom had two stalls and a urinal. The urinal looked like someone took a dump in it, one stall was closed and the last stall had someone in it. So while I peeing in the urinal, I heard weird sounds coming from the stall. It sounded like farts or something. I was distracted, thus making it hard to urinate. The sounds continued. I ignored it and started to do my business. But then I started to hear very weird sounds. It sounded like gurgling sounds. And then some coughing and then spitting sounds. I wanted to leave, but I had already started. He continued to make these sounds. When I was finishing I heard a sound that sounded like he was puking. I had finished my business and washed my hands. When I was about to leave the bathroom, the guy comes out with his pants unzipped holding a chisel (he worked in the store too!). He looked at me and said "Sup man." I was very confused and decided to leave the bathroom as fast as I could. After I got all I needed and was in the parking lot I saw the same guy. I tried not to make eye contact and tried to ignore him. I never knew what happened in that stall... I also once went to Gamestop and saw two copies of Zack and Wiki. One was priced 29.99 and the other was 19.99. That was really weird! But I dont think that is as weird as the grocery store thing...Jakendo

Having worked as a manager in retail I have quite a few stories. But one that I always remember is when this woman came up to the register I was at with her items. She looked at me and then at my name tag and smiled at me. She said, "You look pretty young, you old enough to be a manager?" I laughed a little and told her I just look young for my age. She asked my age and I told her and she said, "wow, I would've never guessed. But it doesn't matter, you're still cute though." I smiled and felt myself blush a little when she asked me if I could give her a discount. Having figured out what all that nice talk was for I told her that discounts are only for employees. She pouted and proceeded to ask me over and over, pleading to give her a discount. I didn't know what the big deal was, it was only 10% so she wasn't saving much. I told her that and she just insisted because she didn't want to pay the full amount if I had the power to give her a discount.

She was really starting to get annoying and wouldn't stop. I kept answering nicely, "No, no, I can't do that. I could get fired..." on and on. This went on for a few minutes and I tried to make an excuse to leave her there when the cashier came back from her break. I just broke away when she came back only to have psycho chick try and follow me still asking for a discount. I was like what the hell is wrong with this woman? I just about had enough and told her, "Maam, I'm not allowed to do that." as angrily as I could. She looked at me, put her hand on my arm, leaned in close and said, "What if I s*** your ****?" I nearly choked on my gum. To make a long story short (and to keep out any details that might get me suspended), I gave in at that point and she got her discount.

Well, yeah it happened. I don't know if you know this but us managers get some pretty wild perks every once in a while. This isn't even as crazy as some of the other things that happened to me when I worked there, but this was the first. I'm sure others who've worked in a similar place can relate. She was pretty, a little on the strange side, but pretty. If she wasn't I wouldn't have gone along with it. What I remember most about her is that she had this slight accent (she was Dominican) that made her sound so cute when she wasn't being annoying.

It was more of an awkward moment really...But I was at the mall one time and was perusing through a kind of geeky store full of models of dragons and expensive mediavel weapons and various other things of the sort. I was holding this model dragon about the size of the palm of my hand and was turning it over to see the price tag on the bottom, and...accidentally dropped it and its head broke off. It got weird once I saw the guy at the cashier sitting literally a few yards from me staring at me. So I slowly picked it up and put it back on the stand and walked out the door. I didn't have enough money to pay for the item I broke (I think it was around 40 bucks) so I kind of just left it alone before creaping out of the place. Extremely awkward I'm telling ya...

If you think that price thing is weird then you should have a look at the prices at the store i go to.

The last time I went there they were selling Battlefield 2 for 50 dollers. some new medal of honour game for 100 dollers and the same medal of honour game with battlefield 2 for free...

they also had crysis collecters edition for 50 dollers and normal for 100

none of that, i find the whole "ginger" statement offencive, how would it be different that saying "i was at gamestop and some little black kids came in with there parents..."

lol

racially sensitive people. It isn't different from saying they came in with black kids. It's just a way of describing who came in to give you a better visual image.
