This guy comes up to me asking if there are any “offers” on this moisturizer. I scan it.
Me: “It’s at its regular price of $25.”
Customer: “Are there any discounts you can give me?”
Me: “No.”
This man proceeds to harass me for seven-something minutes for my employee discount. I keep saying no.
Me: “One, I don’t even know you, and two, I can get into trouble. They’re tracked, and if I use it on the clock or on a register I’m signed into, it will flag.”
Customer: “Oh, you can just say I’m your friend.”
Me: “I don’t even have it on me.”
Customer: “You’re lying! It’s in your locker!”
Me: “They don’t even let us have lockers!”
Customer: “So it’s on your phone!”
I was so fed up that I was about to call security, but it got busy, and customers were coming up to me, so I said in this annoyed tone:
Me: “I… Can’t…”
He just walked away after that.
What made him think he could bully me into giving him my discount? Do I look like an easy target? I am pretty shy and timid, but, like, oh my god! I felt like asking him if he harasses employees at other stores for their discounts. I told my manager, and she said to call her if it happened again, which I definitely will do.
