I work part time in the music and video department (important) but was off this day.

I was standing in an aisle looking at cheap DVDs when a couple of chavs came up with 3 expensive DVDs, all the same, and put them in the display for £2 DVDs.

They then picked one of them and then went in the direction of the checkouts.

Me thinking OH OH, took the 2 DVDs back to the music and video department and put them in their correct place and went back to where I was.

Not surprisingly a few minutes later a call was put out for a music and video colleague to go to the checkouts.

So the colleague and the chavs appear and the chavs are saying but the DVDs are here for £2 and point to where they put them and we should get it for £2.

Of course the DVDs are not there but they keep arguing that it was £2 and they want a manager.

I then say why, you never got the DVD from there, you got it from the correct display and left 2 others there in the wrong place so I put them back in the correct place.

The !!!!! threw the DVD at me and they stormed out of the door.

She came in the next day when I was working took one look at me picking up the phone and left again.

Everytime she comes in now if she sees me she keeps away from me. Security have been informed and she gets followed everywhere now.:rotfl:

    This sort of thing has always happened.

    Yep, I worked in retail people used to take 99p or reduced to clear stickers and put them on £10 items.

    Then argue hell for leather at the till.
