Can I help the next person in line?

An interesting anecdote we spotted on (The Customer Is) Not Always Right, an online forum for retail employees to sound off about the dingbat consumers they deal with on a daily basis (We can certainly vouch, after spending seven years of our youth working at a grocery store in a bad neighborhood, for the fact that some customers aren't "always right"):

Toy Store | New Hampshire

Customer: “Do you have any Wiis?”

Me: “No sir, Wiis are all sold out.”

(Customer pulls out a badge and flashes it briefly.)

Customer: “You sure you don’t have any Wiis?”

Me: “No sir, no Wiis. What exactly was that badge?”

Customer: “Border Patrol.”

(This being New Hampshire, I have to ask:)

Me: “Which border?”

Customer: “Canadian.”

(Customer walks away with a self-important air.)

To be fair, there's no way to independently verify this story, although we don't have much of a problem with believing that some arrogant Federal employee would actually misuse their authority in such an unprofessional manner, all in a pathetic attempt to snag a popular video game console.
