People are gross

Up +71 Down

I work retail in downtown Seattle, and people frequently come in looking to use the bathroom. I was working on our main floor, doing a stock check in the back room when a middle-aged woman ran through the door marked 'Private' and collided with me with a mixed look of pain, worry, and frenzy. There were tears streaming down her face and she screamed that she needed to use the restroom. I told her that they were upstairs and that the fastest way to get there would be the elevator. She then told me that she needed to buy some jeans first because she could no longer wear her own pants, grabbed an arbitrary pair in her size, and asked me to ring her up (all the while still crying and screaming). After I told her that they'd be $76.10, she yelled at me for how expensive the pants were and that the ones she was wearing would have to do (ew?) and then ran to the elevator. I walkied to the person working upstairs (a new girl who'd only been working a week) to unlock the bathroom for her, and she met the customer. Apparently, the customer had yelled at my coworker that she needed scissors to cut her out of the pants before 'it was too late'. We only had a box-cutter upstairs, and the customer had two people cut her out of her pants before she went into the restroom. I saw and heard nothing of the woman again until she left the store 20 minutes later very nonchalantly, wearing the same pants with a giant rip down the side.
