Years ago when two year cell phone contracts were still a thing and you had to pay per text message, I worked at a Sprint store in a busy area in Michigan. We weren't a corporate store which meant we didn't have access to billing or refunds, we were more there for repairs and sales. One day this man comes in fuming about being charged $.20 for a text that allegedly sprint had sent, probably a bill reminder, but I don't believe you were charged for texts from the company. Anywho, I explain to the man that we aren't a corporate store so I wouldn't even be able to access the bill to refund, and that was just UNACCEPTABLE and starts screaming. Starts drilling into me about how I'm just a dumb kid and people my age may love to text but he's never going to and how it's unfair he has to pay this charge.
I had just went to the corner store for a snack and paid cash, and i just threw my change in my pocket. I reached into my pocket, smiled at him and pulled out a quarter. I said "here you go, with interest."
I felt like a Goddess, it was so petty and his face... priceless. "THIS ISN'T THE POINT!!!!"
He slammed the quarter down and left.
I hope he's having the day he deserves.
