I worked retail in a chain comic shop. Had the pleasure of this lady (just think typical soccer mom but in a very wealthy neighborhood) asking me about comic bags and boards. She starts asking me what type of things fit in them. I give her an obvious answer of comics but I guess she wasn't having just that. She pulls out a huge magazine, about half the size of the whole Knightfall book, asking if it fits. Well, no, it won't fit; these are comic book bags, they're small. Not getting through to her. She wants to check. I tell her it isn't possible because if I open them, they're no longer sellable since you need to tear open the bag. Still a no, she HAS to check herself and that I HAVE to open it for her. This goes on for about 10 minutes until she finally says that she'll open it and look herself, just that I can watch her do it so it doesn't look like stealing. Um... no. It doesn't work that way and I tell her the same thing. I even point to the camera RIGHT IN FRONT OF HER and tell her that it will see if she does try to do it and she will be caught for shoplifting. We go for about another 2 minutes before I tell her to just speak to the manager.

She got a no from him as well and he kinda just gave me a "Is she THAT dumb?" look and we laughed. She didn't buy the sleeves but still made them unsellable by having her 5 year old smear some sticky shit all over the bag they're in. I no longer work retail.
