Being an indecisive shopper is already infuriating. Being an entitled choosing beggar on top of that is a destructive combination. This unlucky employee had the unfortunate experience of having to deal with a customer who spent over seven hours at a store and who had accumulated more than $800 worth of items in her shopping cart before admitting she only had $20 in cash to pay for it all.

Every so often, you'll come across a unicorn individual who manages to smooth-talk their way into buying something for free, but $800 worth of supplies? Come on, lady! Only an audacious person who truly lacks sanity could think they can argue their way into not having to pay for that. Apparently, this is not the first time this lady has attempted to get away with these kinds of shenanigans at the store either. It seems that she has way too much time on her hands and has developed an unhealthy relationship with what this store has to offer.

When the employee confronted the woman and told her that she was going to have to make some tough decisions, she ended up moving her cart to the seasonal section and proceeded to spend the following two hours removing items in her cart until she was left with just $18 worth of supplies she could actually afford. What did that mean for the employee? Unfortunately, it meant that they needed to put $782 worth of materials back in their rightful place with just 30 minutes until closing. Just another day on the job, I guess!

Shopping indecision is real, but a sane individual wouldn't necessarily add all the “maybe” items to an overflowing shopping cart, only to have to remove said items before checking out. If this is you, do yourself a favor and do some thinking about your wants and needs within your budget prior to going to the store. That way, adding one or two more items impulsively is not as crazy as adding $782 worth of “maybe" items. Have some common sense, shoppers!
