    Font - A male Karen at work Karen I work at a little hole of a store making 10 dollars an hour and deal with jerks all day, it's located in a trashy part of town with a lot of homeless and entitled people, honestly if not for the customers it wouldn't be a bad place to work at.

    Font - So I just get on shift with one of my supervisors and manager when this one guy walks in and immediate has an attitude. He's short, fat, and missing his front teeth. It was just me at the front and the first words out of his mouth were "Is your manager here, go get them."
  • 04
    Font - Now I didn't know which one he was referring to as a lot of times customers would refer to my supervisors as my managers, and I explained that to him, hoping he would clarify who he was looking for. I also didn't want to get my part manager as, you know, of town and some of the customers are creeps, like 50 year old men who hit on my 20 something coworkers, so I ask him if he needed help with anything to figure out why he was lookings for my manager.

    Font - He doesn't say and just snaps "Go get your god manager." I just shug and grab the both of them to deal with him and this is where I learn why he was here. The guy claimed he was here the night before and had slipped on the wet floor. Which I believed at first because was working the night before and do remember checking him out, and the floor was wet as I mop every night.

    Font - I normally wait an hour before closing to mop, hitting areas that I know don't get much foot traffic first and then finishing the more busier areas after closing like the main entrance. But this one night was super busy and after mopping one aisle, a line of customers waltz up to the counter and I got busy dealing with them that I forgot to put up wet floor signs. My bad I know and did get written up because of it, so it was completely possible he did slip and fall.

    Font - For starters, he said he slipped and fell in aisle X, and knocked over a whole shelf of things. Aisle X happened to be right next to the counter where I was, it also happened to be an aisle for car parts, sprays, flashlights, that kind of things. So all the stuff he could have knocked over were heavy, LOUD things. Yet me and my supervisor (same dude who was working rn) didn't hear anything.
  • 09
    Font - He also claimed that he told the cashier at the time (aka me) what had happened. Spoilers, he didn't, all he did was buy his Dr pepper and left. He also then claimed he had a recording of him falling and of my supervisor, the same one who was working that night, admitting to seeing him fall.

    Font - This pissed my supervisor off as now the guy was straight up lying about him, and didn't miss a beat in calling him out. The guy got louder, now almost shouting that he knew who our district manager was and that his uncle was a lawyer, I'm not even joking, and that he had a case.
  • 11
    Font - The two traded words, my supervisor keeping his cool and just repeating that he never said anything and that he didn't see it happen, while the guy repeated he was going to get him fired and how "I was just going to file a complaint but now I'm going to sue you."
  • 12
    Font - He made it clear, he was going to sue both the company and my supervisor for his attitude. It was clear that the guy was just trying to goat my supervisor into a fight so he could claim we were being hostile, luckily my manager got my supervisor to leave and pretty much separated the two. I stuck around tho because he wasn't calming down and I wasn't going to leave him alone with my manager.

    Font - Eventually, my manager gets on the phone to file a complaint for him, refused to do so himself, and she ask for his name which was required for filing a complaint and you know, because he just threatened legal action against us. He refused to give her his name, she asked for his phone number so they can called him regarding questions, he refused to tell her. She asked for a detailed account either through emailed or letter so our HR knows what happened, he refused that too. He pretty much

    Font - My manager just hands him a list of corporate contacts and he leaves after once again shouting he was going to sue and get all three of us fired. I get fairly written up and now we're having a store meeting, I don't know if it's tied to this incident or not.
  • 15
    Font - My manager did later admitted there was nothing on the camera, my supervisor and I chatted about it and I made it every clear that he came in looking for a fight and a lot of his story didn't make a whole lot of sense.
  • 16
    Font - He marched in, cussed at me, and ended up shouting so loud that he actually stared off a customer. I don't know if this fits here but that guy can just pissed off

    Font - Cinemaslap1 7 hr. ago My absolute favorite thing to do, when people get uppidy and threaten lawsuits, is to shut down. "I'm going to sue you" "Well, sir, since you have now threatened legal action, my hands are tied. Corporate will not allow me to help a customer who is threatening legal action due to the risks it runs. Unfortunately, we have to cease all communication and business partnerships."

    Font - The response back is always "well, I don't want to get them involved.. but if you don't..." and there's the "threat" of legal action. My hands are tied, I'm not losing my job or career over your temper tantrum.
