Terrible customers, as requested.
I had a customer come in to return some items one morning. He didn't have his receipt and he wasn't happy that all he could receive was store credit. He demanded to speak to a manager. I heard him out, and explained the return policy and told him all I could give him was store credit. He argued and demanded cash, because "thats how he paid". I told him he can either return the items for store credit or he can't return the items at all. He finally agreed and my cashier started to process the return. A line started to build and I decided to jump on to keep things running smoothly. I hear that customer getting gradually louder. He finally demands to speak to me again. He was yet again unhappy with the return policy. He had told us he had no receipt and no P.A.L.s card. He was upset that we requested a drivers license. I explained what it was for, and he complained that my cashier had written down his drivers license number, as well as his name, address, city, and phone number. To process a return we must manually put a "return slip" into a MICR machine. On this slip there are five pieces of information required to be filled out. Name, Address, City/zip, phone number, and customer signature. When I recited the return policy he yelled at me for demanding his personal information, and we can't ask for his social security number. How he works for the government and he can't have that information out to the "open market". Never once did I ask for anything besides those five items. He was so livid that my cashier had written down his drivers license number on the return slip that he was threatening to sue for "illegally citing policy". To appease him I filled out a new return slip and gave him back the first one. He continued to yell about how he's suing and he's demanding my name and my personal information. He demanded my employee ID etc. Told him he could have my name and that was it. By the end of it he was complaining about the cash issue yet again before he stormed out of the store.
After he left I decided to write an email to my district manager, as well as my regional loss prevention manager explaining the encounter. I looked up policy and found out I returned some items that I shouldn't have but considered it a form of appeasement. I gave them everything. I do mean everything. From description of the person to all of his information to all the transaction information.
While I was writing this I receive two calls from customer relations. He was persistent. He was demanding cash again. He was now harassing them. He refused to hang up and continued to call back. He was demanding cash from them. I decided to include that in the email. They asked me if there was anything else I can do and I told them no.
A couple days later I find out that the complain was sent back to store level to be solved. My ASM who was aware of what had happened called the customer back to resolve, and he refused to speak to her. Issue resolved, it won't go back up to the top. I also received kudos from the LP manager.
So I decided to look up transactions for the items he returned, and their weren't an within the past 90 days. BTW he claimed he bought them two weeks ago. I gave that info to the LP manager and i'm pretty sure he deactivated the card.
So a dirty little fucking thief steals from me, tries to return the items for cash and then cries to customer relations when he can't get his way. Oh and you probably lost out on that 80$ worth of store credit when the card was probably voided.
