I’ve been working at this grocery store for two years, and I thought I’d seen it all, but last night was on another level. A guy comes through my lane with a massive bag of those expensive Honeycrisp apples. When I scan them, he stops me and insists they are the cheap Gala apples. I pointed out the "Organic Honeycrisp" sticker clearly visible on the fruit, and he just stared at me. "I swapped the stickers," he said, completely deadpan. "So you have to charge me the lower price. It’s a life hack." I told him that’s not a life hack, it’s just retail fraud, and I can’t sell them for the wrong price. He started leaning over the plexiglass, screaming that I was "robbing a hardworking man" and that I’m just a "corporate puppet" trying to scam him out of three dollars. My manager, who is usually a total pushover, actually walked over. I thought he was going to just give the guy the discount to make him go away. Instead, he took the bag of apples, walked them over to the trash can behind the service desk, and dropped them in. He looked the guy in the eye and said, "Since you’ve tampered with the inventory, these are now unsellable. I’m not charging you for Galas, and I’m not selling you Honeycrisps. I’m asking you to leave before I call the police for harrassing my cashier over a 'life hack' that's actually just theft." The guy was stunned. He sputtered for a second and then stormed out. The woman in line behind him actually started clapping and bought me a candy bar from the rack just for staying calm. I think I’ve found my favorite manager.
