After getting a replacement BBQ propane tank at the store, we took our 2 children inside the store to rent a Red box movie. While waiting in line, Debbie the Checkout coach at the time (7/28/09 around 8:00pm) said to us in a very unfriendly tone "there's no propane tanks inside! You need to take it outside right now!" I said “OK” and when my wife was trying to gather our children she said again "Right now!" While my family were going outside Debbie said to herself but audible to all of us "No body F***ing listens!" Then talked to the self-checkout line cashier "I worked my as* off". I confronted her about her language in front of my children and she came right up to my face and yelled "I worked my as* off!"
We didn't know propane tanks are not allowed in the store, it's an honest mistake. She has the right to notify us of store policy but she has no right to talk to us in that way. And it is absolutely outrageous that she cursed in front of my children.
She might be stressed out or over-worked, but that's not an excuse for her to treat customers that way. It reflects badly on the store, especially when the offender was at a higher level position.
