So this lady was waiting outside my store (in a mall) before I even opened. She was staring at me before I even unlocked the door, I still have my bag my coat everything still on, and she was expecting me to serve her right away. I tried to ignore her and entered the store closing the door behind me and start preparing for the day. I was hoping she would get the point that the store was not open yet but she didn’t. She continued staring at me until I ran out of things to do and have to tell her that I would not open for 10 more minutes. She seemed to understand but continue to stand there and stare at me. I left the store for 5 minutes while I went to the bathroom, hoping that she would leave. But as I was walking back I noticed that she was actually standing at the corner waiting for me, like she couldn’t believe I left her hanging. As I was opening the door to go back inside and try to ignore her she told me her order. I still was not open yet but she didn’t care. I told her to wait but she pulled out her card and stood at the till staring at me. When opening time rolled around and my delivery still had not arrived I told her that it would be a bit late and she got mad at me. She told me to call the driver, I told her that he wouldn’t pick up because he was driving and she continue to berate me for lying to her. When delivery came in she told the driver that she was waiting. I served her as soon as I could just to get rid of her. After she paid she told me I should say sorry. It’s not like I could control traffic. I told her the information as I knew it and that stuff like this was out of our control. About starts to a bad day and it was only getting worse… 😩
