Retail Crazy People

First off I work for a large retail store, and everyday is something new. There never seems to be a day identical to another one. Customers are there to buy something and well sometimes they get upset if you don't have what they want. I try my best to make their shopping a little easier then going to the competition, I walk them to the product unless they tell me they are fine on there own. I then thank them and let them go on there way.
But now to the crazy few people, you know who you are. Their spouse sends them in to get something and they don't want to be there or they are upset because yesterday we sold the last item that was on sale and now we are out of it. So instead of thanking me for the help, they go crazy cursing me, asking for a manager, and insisting I check in the back of our warehouse for more inventory.
The more you try to help the worse it get's, and yet we still keep on helping the best we can to make the bad situation get better, trying to calm the disappointed customer down. Even though we didn't send you to the store or tell you to come in after the advertisement on the $79.00 light set now on sale for $29.00 has expired 2 days ago.
Sometimes we at the store blame it on the full moon or the other person who sent you, its not your fault your mad, they should have came in and got the stuff not you. So when your out shopping , whether somebody else sent you or you just wanted to get the last good deal, be patient around people who are really trying to help you, now granted there are a few of us out there who don't care at all, this would be our competition I hope, and not some of my co-workers. Besides who wants all the bad Karma that comes from negativity, I just want to do my job to the best of my ability, you don't have to like me at all, but just let me help you find what your looking for and be happy, not a crazy person like the ones I mentioned. I hope you have a better shopping experience every time you go somewhere now and thanks for taking a moment to read this. This was not created to offend others, just saying there are some funny people in the world we live in.
