'He apologized to me and the lost his job': Tyrannical manager gets fired after heroic customers catch him publicly humiliating a 16-year-old retail employee

Not all customers are bad guys, in fact, in this next story, a pair of shoppers came to the rescue of an employee floundering on the sales floor because of a berating, tyrannical manager. 

If you've ever had the misfortune of working in retail, you know that it's no cakewalk. Under pressure from management to maintain unrealistic goals and constantly surrounded by the babbling buffoons of the shopping world, being a retail employee can feel like you're the only sane person ever to set foot in your place of employment. Because of this, the sales floor is equally boring and insanely stressful–just like any other mundane work environment with callous clientele. Despite being veiled in torturously boring workflow, retail workers learn the most about the real world when dealing with irate customers, but when faced with the final boss of lost patience, nobody is ever fully prepared.

So when u/Unlikely_Lead9174 clocked in for their average shift at Circuit City (remember that place?), they were baffled when a pair of customers came to their aid. Normally, when a customer has something to report about an interaction in the workplace, their employment future is doomed, but in this case, the good guys were cleverly hiding in plain sight as heroic shoppers.
