How odd, that you would back up some fool trying to get past polite
suggestions at a place of business. Customers are not god, including
myself. We should speak up when guarantee's are not met, or products are
not whole. This fool just happened to serendipity draw his own straw, and
that is rude. If this is a larger chain, this checker just could have gone
to another store. I don't think hilarity in believing one lost their job is
evidence of the truth in a reenactment.
