Wel, this one nearly made me some slap her. I had been called off the sales floor from my work to ring customers. A woman and her son, about 10 years, were next. She has 3!or 5 articles of clothing which I rang up and I then told her the total. She informed me that she has already given me her credit card, I informed her that I did not have it. She went off on a tangent about how she’s put the card right here on the counter, jabbing the spot on the counter. I again told her I didn’t have it, hadn’t seen it on the counter and hadn’t picked it up. She insisted I had it and that I had better give it back to her, and a few other choice comments. At this point I told her that we recommended to never put a card down on the counter, we’d had several con artists who worked in pairs to steal cards, she said I’d already done that. So now we’re at the “I want a manager” stage, I ask the supervisor to call one up. The manager arrived. She informs the manager he has to call the police. Then her son moved his arm and said to his mom “Here I have it.” It had been under his forearm the whole 10 minutes or so that she’d gone after me. She told me to pick it up and finish her transaction. I did, the kid laughed looking me straight in the eyes. My manager saw what had happened and banned them from the store, she had to sign paperwork to that effect. This was all pre cell phones and cameras in the stores.
