I think it'd be kind of an ass thing to do to sue him. His life sounds pretty fucked as it is.

Take the money, make sure all the managers who didn't believe you are right there when he apologizes, then turn to them and say "Hear that assholes? FUCK YOU", walk out and find a better job.
The kind of stuff you find while cleaning a grocery store bathroom:
-Numerous bottles of aspirin/midol (pretty tame)
-Used pregnancy tests
-Wedding magazines in the stall... men's room
-White supremicist propoganda
The best, though, was when a co-worker called me into the women's room to show me one of his findings when he was cleaning. In the last stall, was a pair of panties... completely soaked through with liquid poopie. The best/worst thing ever found (I didn't have to clean it up, at least).
Also, there was the time when I helped unclog a toilet, and after about 5 minutes of no results, it EXPLODED onto my pant leg.
And the thing is, I don't even clean the bathrooms that often. Once every 4 months or so.
-Worse, though, was when another co-worker

But she'll never get the other one as he has info on the GM that could get that guy fired, so he can pretty much get away with anything he wants to. They're both good guys (the latter being a friend of mine from high school) but I wouldn't recommend crossing either. This oughta be interesting.
Personally, I'm hoping my new job prospect calls me sooner rather then later. I'll try to stick with this one on weekends for a little extra cash and the discounts, but quotas and drama are eventually going to start taking their toll on me.
A woman comes up and stands diagonally behind (and close to the counter) the person I'm ringing up. I figure she has a question (otherwise, who the hell starts a diagonal line?) and I figure I'll be nice and ask her if she has a question. She says no and I leave it at that. After ten seconds, she starts saying shit like, "Is it because I don't have a brown bag in my hand? (our bags are white)" and something about awards. I say, "I asked if you had a question because people usually start the line over there." She flips out and starts going on and on about how rude I am, how I can't force people to stand where I want, how the carpet around the counter feels nice, and apparently she has a right to scold me because she's won awards for her retail customer service. If she were some crazy wart lady, I could've shrugged off this nonsense but she was a regular soccer mom who seriously thought she was teaching me a good lesson.
I've also learned never to say sorry to anyone EVER. Say something like "thank you for understanding." Say sorry and they'll take it as a window of vulnerablity and proceed to walk all over you.
That's one of the things I hated most about retail, that it was cliquey like friggin' high school. If your not one of the guys who goes out with the boss for drinks to kiss his ass, you get shit on.
TRUE STORY.....HONEST.
One day a guy comes into my dept. and I ask him is there something I can do for you today (or something to that effect). Immediately before I can finish the sentance, he says JUST LOOKING!! as if he was about to reach for his stun gun. I say "well Just Looking...." in an effort to diffuse the situation with humor and relay that Id be around in case he did have a question.
The guy bolted
Later on I find out from one of my friends at customer service that he wanted to see my manager. She asked him why. He said because I called him "just looking". She did not understand why he would be mad, and he just left without speaking to anyone.
That is the ONLY time that such a joke didnt work. I hate it when I honestly and genuinely extend an intent to help out customers and they end up shitting on me like I was there to rape their dog.
My favorite thing, and the one that's most likely going to make me piss off a customer, is explaining the exact same information to someone time after time after time. "I'm sorry, we don't have that game used. No, that's not a used copy of the game. If we had it used it would be $25, but we don't. He didn't bring me a used copy because we don't actually have one in stock. As I explained to you 27 times previously, we don't have that game used." Chop that up over a five minute period and you get the idea.
Not exact quotes, by the way.

What I really fucking hate is when a customer crop dusts me while I'm trying to help them. And what's even worse is when they expect me to keep helping them after they do it. ( I walk away until the air clears)
