Plastic Bag Panic

I’m a produce guy at a grocery store. There are literally 15 rolls of plastic bags in the department. I got yelled at by an elder customer (mid 70’s)because we were empty in one spot. When he asked me to fill the empty roll bags so he could shop I had to explain to him that the supply shipment was late. The customer being a total a**h*le stomped his feet like a 5-year-old and screamed at me… “I JUST NEED YOU TO DO YOUR JOB!”

My response was, you can get yourself a bag from over here or if you really want a bag and there’s a roll here and here and here and here and there and here and there. He literally went to the store manager to complain about the plastic roll bag being empty where he wanted to shop, so I took a full roll off of another display and put it where the empty spot was. Let’s just say history repeated itself.
