Some people are a little rude,Plus new pickups.

see the whole thing that's wrong with this story is that they were banned because a employee "verbally abused" him for no reason. This isnt some small mom and pop store, the manager would have taken this serious, and most likely given out some type of apology (bribe so you dont call corporate) in the form of a gift card, or a percentage off your purchase or something. i have never heard of a manager, who gets called out because a employee bluntly disrespected a customer, banning the "victim"....sounds like straight B.S. to me

The old man should probably be a little bit less condescending while he is working, especially if he has no other way to make money.

I don't know if I buy it or not
but if it's true you have very bad luck

i believe it. a similar thing happened to me at a toys r us once. i went in with my cousin. a got some figures and he got some cards. we knew more or less how much we were spending so we would just put our money together and pay all at once. the cashier rings us up and goes "$100 for toys to play with. only in america." then my cousin gave me his share of the money, i put it with my part and handed it to the cashier. then the cashier says "awww and ur even going halfsies." then she hands me some change and goes "ill give u the change since u put in more. he can carry the bags" i should have complained to the manager or something but i didnt feel like wasting time on her. i never see her there anymore so im pretty sure she either quit or got fired.

the only thing i find ridiculous is that the cashier insulted u and that led to ur firends getting banned. if the manager did anything he/she should have given u guys some sort of store credit or coupons or something like that.

lol at the "conspiracy theorists"... i highly doubt silent assassin would make up his stories, as if he was, surely he'd think of a much more interesting or spectacular lie than this. i've always been a good judge of character and he doesn't come accross as dishonest or attention seeking to me. quite the opposite. he seems like a good guy who is happy and secure in himself and his hobby, and is just unlucky in encountering immature jerks who have nothing better to do than try to bring others down to make up for their own insecurities. i admire people who stand up for themselves and their friends to people who think verbal abuse is ok.

you should have reported the guy to the store manager or someone even higher up, you did nothing wrong and he was out of line and deserves to be disciplined for his unacceptable behaviour.

I don't really believe the story. It sounds about as believable as a story from last year where someone claimed to have gotten attacked on his way out of Argos over some figure. I have never been insulted or attacked over figures, nor do I know anyone who has. Maybe this guy just has bad luck, or maybe he looks like a victim. Either way, I am inclined not to believe, but I could be wrong. I don't really care either way.

Im with you, plus a 70 year old dude saying that? HA.

Plus its Christmas season, probably the best time to shop for figs without getting weird looks, but ive never gotten weird looks for buying figs anyway.

I don't know about TRU, but Walmart has a policy where no associates are supposed to make remarks towards the customer's purchase(s), and the only time they're supposed to be concerned is when it appears as though meth ingredients are being plopped on the counter.

why would u hope your friends got banned, why wouldnt you tell off the old douchebag and 3 why wouldnt you ask to speak to his manager and report him??
