Entitled people can make shopping stressful by demanding special treatment or help from others. They often expect more than what’s reasonable and can cause awkward or frustrating situations. Their behavior highlights the challenges faced by both store employees and other shoppers who deal with such demanding individuals.

While shopping at Champs, OP felt a tap on their shoulder. A man asked for help getting a jacket from a high rack, mistaking OP for someone who could reach it easily. OP, standing 5’9” on tiptoes, informed the man that they didn’t work there. However, the man explained that he knew but needed help since OP was taller. Though puzzled, OP reached up, like a kid reaching for snacks on the top shelf, and handed the jacket to the man before walking away. Two minutes later, the man mentioned that OP got the wrong size. An employee overheard and kindly asked the man what he was doing. Later, dramatic scene was created. Scroll down to know the full story.
