“she grabbed a hold of my purse”
ANYONE laying a hand on me loses it. A Best Buy employee found that out the hard way.
Any wonder why Amazon.com keeps growing?
Next time wait in line like everyone else.
Also you refer to the employee as "She", capitlaized, as if referring to God.
Interesting.
Is that you in the red shirt?
Am I missing something here? What exactly about her situation entitled her NOT to wait in line with the other customers? Had she checked with them all and confirmed that they were in the “not in a hurry” line before she tried to duck out the side exit?
Costco and Sam’s Club both have those reciept checking policies, and she must have known this before she stepped a toe in Costco that day.
Did I miss the part where she couldn’t wait in line with the other customers becuase she was rushing out to the parking lot to give CPR to the endearing old grandpa while she helped the labrador retriever deliver all those cute lil’ puppies?
Yikes. Get over yourself and wait in the line. If you’re that pushed for time don’t stop at Costco that day.
Impatient lady exits through the entrance and then is indigent when someone tries to stop her.
If she was in a hurry and didn’t want to wait in the check out line, would it be ok for her to throw her money on the floor and walk out with the product?
I guess they failed to see the princess tiara.
You’re lucky. At Sam’s Club if the employee at the door doesn’t shoot you the rest of the people in line might.
It is my observation that these type of fights always seem to be between two women.
"Welcome to Costco, I love you."
I wonder how Costco is doing compared to online companies, such as Amazon?
Costco loses millions every year with shoplifting and miscellaneous fraud. So their security is understandable, and I’m not sure this was handled properly or improperly. Those receipt checks take about 5 seconds each. So with 8 in line the writer would have had to wait a whole minute, maybe two!
BUT the writer was in too much of a hurry to wait in line, because OBVIOUSLY her time was more important than everyone else’s. She DID have that 5 minutes to sit in her car to calm down .. she’d have been thru the line faster than that. I’m not too sympathetic. I’d bet dollars to donuts this writer drives an SUV while talking on her cell, and paying no attention to anyone else on the road.
I hate queuing in lines as much as anybody, but wouldn’t dream of behaving as this woman did. (And I speak as one with a preternatural ability to pick the slowest line.)
Having said that, the employee should not have touched her, and I imagine she’s been advised accordingly— if she’s still employed there.
As for the receipt check "policy", it's just that, a store policy not a state or federal law. She had every right to go out another exit or go around the receipt check line and walk out the door. If in a hurry, I would have done the same thing, just like I will not stop if I set of the door alarm at Wal-Mart because the stupid cashier forgot to disable the security tag on one of products. A couple times somebody has followed me out, at which time I will show them my receipt, most of the time they will ignore it. But it is not my responsibility to stop because a beep goes off when I walk out the door.
Interesting. Queen Diva doesn’t think the rules apply to her. And of course, after her hissy fit, she definitely wasted way more time than if she had exited properly.
And my Costco receipt always has had the store’s phone number. Fishy story, on several levels.
I have a hard time seeing its relevance.
Not even close to assault.
Crowds, lines, delays. It’s why I do all my shopping the moment the doors open. I am mostly alone in the store except for the employees, get my stuff and am oughta there in 5 or 10 minutes.
