While working at the jewlery counter...

Me: Can I help you find something?
Her: Where do you keep the rest of these charms? [holds up charm from another rack]
Me: We don't have anymore of those, everything we have is out here. But, we do have some more over...
Her: No. I used to work at Shopko. You keep some more of these under the counter.
Me: Uh, well no, but there's more over here on the counter.
Her: They're not the same kind.
Me: Yea, They're a little different, but 50% off, if that helps.
Her: I used to work at Shopko, and I know you keep ome of these under the counter.
Me: Well, uh, no...I'm sorry, we don't have anymore of those.
Her: [rolls eyes and stomps away]

2 min later, Steph joins me at the jewlery counter. The woman comes back and calls Steph over.

Her: I'm looking for some more of these charms. I used to work at Shopko and I know they're kept under the counter, but she...
Steph: No, I'm sorry, all we have is out on the rack.
Her: But, when I worked here they kept them under the jewlery counter.
Steph: Nope, sorry, we have more over there on the counter, though.
Her: [Glares at both of us and stomps away again.]

5 min later, Steph and I are back by the fitting rooms talking.

Me: You know, she asked me the same question just before she asked you. I think she thought I was hideing them or something *chuckles*
Steph: *laughs* We used to keep them under there but it got to be too cluttered.
Me: Ohhh, I see. I told her we had some others over on the counter too, but she said they were different and didn't want them and got all flustered w/ me. But, you know, she "used to work at Shopko", I guess she knows everything.
Steph: *laughs* Well, that's cool, what, does she want a cookie?
Me: *laughs* Oh yes, she definetly deserves a cookie.

[The woman walks out of the fitting rooms and glares at me holding a lepoard print thong in her had she had just tried on]

Her: I heard EVERYTHING you said. *has this look on her face like she just said something very cool*
Me:*chuckles* Yea...
Her: [stomps off w/ her thong and continues to glare at me over her shoulder...obviously forgetting she's stopming around a department store with a LEPOARD PRINT THONG]

Later, Steph and I hear the front deck page Mike (a manager)...and then Mike pages Steph...and he asks Steph if she likes embaressing herself, tells her to stop ticking off the customers, and mentions me. But, I wasn't wearing a nametag (I don't have one yet) so the lady didn't know who I was, which is Mike paged Steph rather than me, but then he knew Steph was training me on the register in jewlery so made the connection. And, I'm sure the bracelete-charm-thong-woman mentioned me, the "evil brunette" to Mike.
And so, she was all flustered w/ me because...uhm...she overheard me saying things that were compleatly true? it's not like we were compleatly ripping on her and calling her a bitch and all (which we could have) I mean, we were just talkinf about how ridculous she was being because she thought she was some cool ex-Shopko employee. She was the one being rude, if anything I should have been pissed off at her. And I certainly didn't say any of that to her face, it's not my fault she heard while she was trying on her *thong*.
But anyway, she filled out some report on me and now I might get writed up or something. Mike never actually talked to me about it. I hope she doesn't fill it out on Steph just cuz she didn't know my name...

Anyway, other than that, work was fine. It was actually pretty funny, whether I get written up or not.
