Happened to me once. I did not know who he was in told him so. It's possible the guy was bluffing. He claimed to be some state senator.

I've never had one of these moments, but when I was a manager at my current job years ago, I did have a guy who threatened "he was gonna have my job". It was ten at night, the weather was shit, I was on my way to take my last break, we had no carts, and he was verbally harassing one of my minor associates, who had come to me about the guy being a complete douche. I told my associate to go on home (he was off), and not to worry about this because he wasn't gonna get in trouble. The guy took deep offense and made all sorts of claims about how he knew the owners of the company. Sure buddy, you're friends with the Waltons, and that's why you're shopping here late at night alone. ๐Ÿ™„

I always take some comfort when lying dicks are bad at it, at least. Sorry about the retail hell, though.
