I really cant deal with customers coming in and talking about how they're leaving to take care of someone whos about to pass, or people that come into the store wanting texts, or something from a close one that recently passed.

It's an aggravation to have to deal with people who thrust their own problems onto you. Not to mention the people who are just lying for personal gain. ๐คจ

i had a customer who went in depth about ther father dying and after the grim details of his passing asked for text message detail and i had to inform her that it was aginst policy to give out that info. its really hard to say no to people like that, but when the guns to your head you got to do what you got to do.
