Maybe this is the proper thread.
On Friday, last, BLACK FUCKING FRIDAY, I had a problem customer. He was seriously dissatisfied with the fact that we did not have all of our advertised "Door Busters" in one place, ready for the taking. I told him that the advertised products were on a (cardboard box, we call a "shipper") display in the middle of the store.
He just continued to go at me, for more than an hour. Popping back around every few minutes to snipe at me about how terribly poor I was at organizing things. But any who understand merchandising and ad sales knows that the reason you offer insane pricing (on something we call a "Loss Leader") is to promote shopping, not to just lose your shirt with people coming in to get JUST the sale items. We want them to shop.
Yeah, we want them to look for stuff!!!
This asshole, got in my face one too many times. Really big fucker, too, probably three hundred pounds and at least six foot five or maybe seven if he would stand up tall like my mom taught me to do. He was probably used to pushing his weight around on "lesser" people.
He called me names, he told me I should not even have a job, over and over he taunted me and I let roll off my back, until he shoved me. He actually looked me in the eye and pushed me, FFS!!
Shit, REALLY!! I am a low level worker at a huge complex store system. I do not make enough money to have some retarded asshole push me. I have NO way to affect anything that happens here and this asshole decides to PUSH me. ME!!??. NO! I REACTED. I only have a few reactions when I am pushed and any of them will get me fired.
Right, he is going to push MEEE! .. because he had to escort his fat ugly wife to this store on the WORST fucking day of the year. NO!! Motherfucker!!
Now I am not in the shape I was in five years ago and I still favor my dodgy hip that has a prosthetic embedded in it. I have only barely worked out on my bag in about three years, using my legs. I still keep my upper body fairly developed, but my legs are not so dependable, but they were on this day.
He fucking pushed me!! That was just too much. I could not take any more of this asshole.
I kicked his plant foot out from under him and when he went down hard onto the carpet, I stabbed my hand into his carotid and jugular area , putting him to sleep in about fifteen seconds. Yeah, he hit my arm over and over, but each blow was lighter than the previous - I was using a proper sleeper hold on him.
Another employee came over to help and I said, "Get the Cop!" Ever since Walmart had someone killed at their door Best Buy has hired two local police at all fifteen hundred stores to maintain the order of the crowds. The cop was there in seconds and I had let the sleeping guy start to convulse. (ever put someone to sleep using a way of stopping the blood to the brain? The human body convulses violently as it tries to survive and regain consciousness)
Anyway, I knew the cop was coming and I was not yey ready to deal with this asshole yet, so I did not allow him to regain consciousness yet. I put him back under just as the cop arrived.
This stupid fuck, I have to assume he was thinking it was me, regained his "spirits" and cold cocked the cop who was trying to help him. Now THAT young buck police officer WAS in decent shape and had cuffs on the big stupid fucking guy in about three seconds.
The guy was screaming at me the whole time. They called for a back up car and hauled his as away, but not before he insulted my lineage and raising many ways. I never said another word. I am pretty sure that I made my statement quite clearly to him. Just dumb luck he hit the cop and got hauled away.
I know I did what I had to do and I am fine with the consequences, If I get fired I can just find another job. Pretty sure there is a camera record of what happened, they just have not found it yet.
I am probably going to be fired.
