No one said you had to give them a real address or phone number. Or one that you had lived at in the last 20 years. (^;
There are harmless cashiers at normal stores who don’t pester customers and simply move on with the sales, and then there are the smug RS punks.
One of them went even went into victim mode and started in that *I* would make him look bad to his manager if I didn’t give him the info he demanded for the mailing list. Yeah, it was my fault that the idiot was an arrogant a-hole. Yeah, that attempt at shaming me was going to make me give him any info.
I wanted to ask him if he had ever heard the word “No” in his sorry life, but he seemed unhinged enough. What a piece of work. He was obviously accustomed to manipulating and bullying people. I was not hostile, merely polite but firm with my “No thank you”, yet he came unglued. If this were an isolated incident I would pass if off as a rogue jerk about to be terminated, but these character types were the norm at RS. Definitely a systemic problem.
I only needed a small cable adapter but it was rather obscure and I didn’t want to goof up on a mail order. I went everywhere else first hoping to avoid RS, but there I was just wanting to pay the $3 or $4 and be outta there. I was about to walk out empty-handed when the kid in a huff decided to shut his trap and ring up the sale. Probably because another clerk wandered in from the back.
Sheesh, I can’t imagine what type of manager seeks to hire these types. If not for RS they’d be employed by the Obama regime as Obamacare navigators or IRS thugs.
