You Won’t Believe These Clothing Store Moments

Story 1

I was working customer service at an outlet store when we had a woman walk in wanting to return some items. When I asked for her receipt, she said she lost it, so I thought to try scanning the barcode to see if I could bring up the purchase in our system and that’s when I noticed the tags had the store logo on the back for a different store. The store that had been gone since the 1990s.
When I confronted the lady about the fact these clothes were bought from another store (and had to have been bought at least 8 years prior), she said with a straight face, “Well, I obviously can’t return them to that store now, can I?” I was nearly floored by that encounter. © ******Wolf / Reddit

Story 2

I used to work at an outdoors store and someone once came in looking for a fully waterproof vest. I asked why he would want such a thing, and he told me, “I have a very expensive down vest and I need a waterproof vest to cover it so it doesn’t get ruined.” I tried repeatedly to explain that a rain jacket will do the same job, without getting his head/neck/arms soaked.
He was insistent that he can only wear a waterproof vest, because what’s the point of owning a $750 vest if you’re covering it up with a jacket. We went back and forth for a good 5 minutes, and he just couldn’t grasp that the parts of him not covered by a vest would get wet. © eztrov / Reddit

Story 3

A man came in to our shop to try on a plaid shirt that was displayed in the shop window. He said he had OCD and asked to try on every plaid shirt (probably 50+ shirts) we had in his size because he needed the lines to match up at the seams.
I was bored, so I decided to help him instead of focusing on other customers. The sale took about an hour and a half, but he bought $400+ worth of clothing and then called our district manager to say how happy he was with me because other employees wouldn’t take him seriously. © Unknown author / Reddit

Story 4

I had a woman screaming at me that I needed to “look in the back” for another size of a shirt she wanted. She couldn’t comprehend that she was in a thrift store. © dazzleduck / Reddit
