This Man Pretended To Be A Store Manager So He Could Throw Out A Rude Customer

Some people can turn a routine shopping trip into a full-blown scene, and this one started with a rude customer demanding gin. A Reddit user shared how a young store worker got cornered by an angry shopper who kept pushing for freebies after claiming he deserved compensation for his "stress and inconvenience."

That is when another customer stepped in and decided to act like the manager, even though he was just there to shop.

Then he quietly told security what happened and walked out like nothing had happened. Here's the full story.

Here's the story in full.

The man was looking particularly smart that day because he had just attended a funeral.

When he stopped off at the supermarket on his way home, he walked in on an altercation between a rude customer and a sales assistant.

A quick interruption turned into the moment the whole exchange changed.

After an already bad day, the man decided to step in.

It also echoes the AITA fight between a lunch-stealing coworker and the person exposing him at work.

The customer insisted he should receive a free bottle of gin for his "stress and inconvenience."

Oh wait, now he wants TWO free bottles of gin!

That's when the man really delivered.

Boom!

Security got the final word, and the customer did not.

He then informed security about the situation before leaving the store.

Not every hero needs a cape, just a little nerve.
