Wow.

A quote from Customers_Suck:

" Background: I am the manager of an arcade in a mall.

Question of the day? Who pisses me off the most?

If you guessed Mall Walkers, you guessed correctly!

I am usualy at work between 5-6 hours before the malls open dealing with broken machines, taking money out, etc... Basic manager stuff. I hate dealing with the Mall Walkers. I want them all to die. I have to deal with "Hey sonny, can I get a stuffed animal for free? I'm a senior!" I get that about 10 times a day.

Today, took the cake as far as horrible mall walkers go.

So I was in the store (Gate is closed and locked) taking money out of the games as I do every morning so I can take it all to the bank. This old lady walks up to the gate and yells.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING? ARE YOU STEALING THAT MONEY? YOU ARENT SUPPOSED TO BE DOING THAT!!"

This caught me way off guard, but I told her "Maam, im the manager and I am just taking this money out so it can go to the bank."

"NO! YOUR STEALING! THIEF! THIEF! THEIF!!" She screams at the top of her lungs, then she waddles off.

A few minutes later she shows back up with a group of mall walkers and they all start accusing me of stealing and telling me I had better run because they called security. I know the morning security guard, and know that he was probably laughing his ass off at the situation. HE comes up to them (Chuckling as I thought) and tells them what I am in fact doing. They dont believe him, and say he is in on it and they are going to call the cops.

So about twenty minutes later a cop shows up and talks to them, then to me. Does he yell at them for making a false call? No.

He tells me "You need to be less suspicious and stop scaring these nice people. Next time you scare someone into thinking you are a thief you are coming down to the station."

WHAT THE FUCK????? WHAT!!!! THE!!!! FUCK!!!!

Then mall managment gives the lady a bunch of mall gift certificates for helping to catch a shoplifter, and then they have the balls to tell me I had it coming by looking "So iffy." Yea, because a well groomed guy, in glasses, wearing a button shirt/tie and black slacks really looks iffy.

Every store in the mall has coupons for the mall walkers, to encourage them to walk by every store in the morning or some bullshit. It is completly optional, and I have been doing it to be nice. Well fuck them, today those coupons went in the trash.

I FUCKING HATE MALL WALKERS!!!!!!"
