The only time I've ever worked retail is when my department at my last job "volunteered" us to work the road show booths as cashiers for our corporate launch (cell phone company in Singapore). I saw all sorts of stupid ass people the two days we had to work.
One guy bought $2000+ in cell phones only to pay with a huge wad of 10 dollar bills. Of course, all the cashiers had to get together to count the damn stack and held up the line forever.
One guy bought $40 worth of stuff and tried to pay us with a $10000 note (I'd never even seen one of those until then...) and he created a huge scene when he we insisted we couldn't make change for that. After 2 managers tried to calm him down, 20 minutes later, the fucking asshole pulls out a huge wad of bills from his pocket and counts out the money in 10s.
One dude was like openly gay. He managed to create a scene by asking to examine his phone and stuff after he had paid and signed his activation agreement. He then asked the cashiers all sorts of technical questions. He refused to talk to the sales people (who knew that stuff) and held everyone up for 15 minutes before declaring that he wouldn't buy the phone because we didn't have another color except for gray.
I swear... just the 2 days at a cash register makes me swear off retail work for the rest of my life.
