I’ve worked at three hardware stores and each one had one of these ladies.

Seriously, one just spent like half an hour ranting to me about how she thinks the local gas and electric company is conspiring against her.

    One old lady started coming in once a week or so to rant at me about all sorts of stuff happening in her life. Every single time I would nod along wordlessly until she wandered off. Every single time she would find my manager and file a complaint that I was swearing at her. My manager let two of the complaints stick so she could deny me raises, but would never file the third. It felt like a conspiracy sometimes, but it never happened to anyone else as far as I could tell and the lady never stopped coming in.
