Going to the pet store is always an experience. We never fail to run into an interesting character or two there. 

Maybe it's a man who is obsessed with reptile facts, a woman carrying two tiny dogs in a purse, and our purrsonal favorite, the people who bring their harness cats with them to the store. We tried that once, and our cat literally just froze in place. It was a purrfectly hissterical failure, but we got some silly pictures out of it.

All this to say that the pet store is never boring, and our cat lover's story below just adds to our hilarious hypothesis. She was there to buy food for her cats, when an entitled Kevin accused her of trying to steal the company's data because she was price checking on Google. He also confused her with an employee because she was wearing a polo. Luckily, an actual employee showed up to save the day, but kind of wish he hadn't so we would have gotten to see more of his purrfectly paranoid response to a customer doing normal customer things. Read through the whole story below!

    This happened last week at a pet supply store. I was wearing a plain blue shirt and holding a scanner app on my phone because I was price-checking litter brands.

    A middle-aged guy comes up holding a dog bed and says, "Can you check if this one comes in a larger size?" I smiled and said, "Sorry, I don't work here."

    He pointed at my phone. "Then why are you scanning stuff?" "I'm comparing prices on Google." He gave me the dirtiest look and said, "So you're stealing their data?"

  • Ugh, okay, Boomer. Go back to your house and complain about how nobody reads newspapers anymore. Just because you don't understand what we're doing doesn't mean it's evil. We don't need your conspiracy theories today, thanks.

    Before I could even reply, an actual employee in a bright red polo walked past. The man waved him over and said, "You should fire her, she's scanning your products for the competition."

    CAMSTONEFOX 16h ago Dirty, filthy thrift minded, conscientious consumer... how do you sleep at nights?! (looking for insomnia tips)

  • Insomnia tips that have helped us in the past couple of years: putting our phones away 30 minutes before bed and reading until we're sleepy (usually takes between 15 - 30 minutes), doing 5 - 10 minutes of stretches before getting into bed, and investing in good quality pillows. Once we got pillows that actually helped us get comfortable, we were able to fall asleep much faster.

    InvestigatorOk7988 15h ago Yeah, they wouldn't care even if op was scanning for the competition. I used to manage a Circle K (gas station/convenience store), every so often i had to go and get ciga tte prices from our nearest competitor. I usually just asked, and they'd give me a printout of them.

    Aladdin181. 5h ago You'd think the fact you were clearly holding a personal cellphone to scan prices and not a... scanner would also give them some indication that you don't work there!
