In the Reddit post titled “Can’t you just buy it for me?” the author shares an encounter with a demanding customer in a retail setting. The customer expresses a strong desire for a pair of shoes but states that she is unable to purchase them herself in person and wants them to get shipped to her as on-phone payments were not available. Believing that the employee should accommodate her request, the customer asks the employee to buy the shoes on her behalf. The employee, caught off guard by the unusual request, handles the situation professionally but ultimately declines the customer’s demand. This story highlights the challenges faced by retail employees when confronted with unreasonable customer expectations and requests that go beyond the scope of their responsibilities.
