Tack & Feed Store <PERSON>
A long time ago, back when I was but a youngling, I had a job in a tack & feed store. The feed people were usually the few farmers and the housewives raising chickens. The tack people...well, horse people are obnoxious and entitled as a species so this is the side of the store you're gonna hear about.
It was a Saturday in the spring, the people who do the horse thing were keeping us busy with their show season starting. In comes an early 90s version of a <PERSON> with her two kids. She had one of those big ass satellite phones (first time I'd seen one) and was dressed head to toe in DKNY.
<PERSON> immediately starts shouting that she must have jodhpur boots for the younger girl and hunter boots for the older one. I hustle over there to help her find the sizes and she says that these "aren't real leather." Well, they actually are, but whatever.
<PERSON> then goes on a tirade about how this store wasn't a tack store and she needed these items NOW and they needed to better quality because they had traveled all the way from (further away state) for her kids to show. And her kids forgot their boots! So I helped her get the boots, but we didn't have the exact size for the younger girl. 329
She demanded that I give her the larger boots free because we were "ill stocked" (30 years later I remember that exact quote). I told her I couldn't, I was just the 16 year old help. She asked for the manager. Manager was also the owner. This dude looked at her and said if she didn't want to buy them, then don't, but he wasn't going to give away merchandise.
She ended up buying both pairs of boots and then came back later to buy something else they had forgotten. She actually had the nerve to whine that we were "overcharging." My manager overheard and said that he bet it was actually more expensive on the show grounds from the vendors so she should shut up. He was so awesome. I wish all managers were like him. 245
