Today, a customer cussed me out for hiding behind the counter a jacket she's been "eyeing since it came out". She loudly exclaimed that she was going to report me to my manager and get me "fired." It was my personal jacket that we don't even sell. FML

ktmla tells us more.

OP here. To those of you who referred to me as "he"... I'm a girl :) I work at Hollister and the jacket is actually one my friend from Georgia gave me. It's his school jacket so I'm not sure why she wanted it. #1 Damn straight. #2 We don't but I'll make sure to put it in the suggestion box :-) #3 I was worried she would try to jack it (get it)... #18 I would've assumed the same thing had it not be from a school in a different state. #24 It's one of those things where it's only nice to me for sentimental reasons haha. Thanks though. #28 Although that is often true my manager is really cool so after the whole thing was over I was able to explain exactly what happened and I didn't get in trouble. #44 Thank you for your novel :-) you rock. #48/71 (and anyone's else who wanted clarification): I know your comment was buried but actually we do have that exact rule. We aren't allowed to have any personal items visible except for the clothes/accessories we are wearing (which are required to be from the store as part of the dress code). My jacket was actually behind the counter in a place not visible to customers and had she not been walking behind the counter (against the rules btw) to get to the dressing rooms she never would've seen it. I just couldn't include that in the 300 character fml. #64 I'm guessing that was a joke :) But if you were serious then if you are ever working in retail don't do anything like that unless you want to get fired. #67 More than you know. #74 Nah, she was just a bitch. #73 By fill pup I'm assuming you mean follow up. But you're right some people can really be jerks sometimes! #88 Exactly. #66 Obviously (not a) Product #83 The only place I told her to go was hell.. Wow, just kidding, that was dramatic of me. But no it was a school jacket. #84 I'm sorry that sucks.. Sorry this is so long I wanted to try to reply to as many people as possible. -Katie

Some customers are just morons, OP.

I'm sorry OP. Hopefully you guys sell common sense as well as other jackets.

It doesn't belong to him, so he couldn't give it away, even if he is the manager.

Some people are idiots, especially customers. I hope your boss realizes this

Sorry OP. some people are just stupid. Would love to see a follow up

My first guess was that she saw the same jacket in another store, and forgot that it wasn't your store. Then proceeded to this reaction like a fool. Sorry OP. She will be embarrassed when she realizes the truth.

yeah, 13, nothing about that made sense.

like everyone else said. "some people..."

Everyone else already said it though....

sell it to her at an exorbitant cost...

What would you have a jacket showing and not in a locker anyway? YDI

Not every store has individual lockers. NO the OP doesn't deserve this.

I wouldn't be surprised she was the customer

#19, the person means that the jacket doesn't belong to the manager, so the manager can't try to give it to the customer.

Well at least you know that you have a nice jacket
