I lost my job at wal mart (don't laugh) due to an asshole customer. we were in the older style stores that were not a super center. I was working in my department, electronics and we had 2 counters that faced each other that had our registers. one register was shut down cause it was not needed. and everybody thought they could bypass long lines at front and ring up their shopping carts full of stuff. for one we only have so many bags, and two they are big enough for things like CDs, and DVDs and games and cameras etc. well I had this one customer who came up to me at the register while i was ringing up a customer DEMANDING that i help him find a battery for his cordless phone. he held up the battery and it was one that did NOT have a wire (older batteries did not have them). I told him that we did not carry them and i would help him when i was done. i walked over after it slowed down and checked his battery and it was the older one as i suspected. i told him he had 2 options, one go to radio shack and order one from them as they can get the older style ones. or he could buy a new phone from us that would have a new modern battery that was easily replaceable and available. he thought about it and then got a phone and walked past me and went up to the front of the store to ring it up instead of me doing it. the next day i was called into the managers office and he told me that a customer said i was rude to him and had to be asked multiple times before i would help him. i explained my side and he did not care, and since i was still a few days away from my 90 day probation period, he fired me. if it would have happened a few days later i would just get a warning or a write up.
