Do not hit the customers...
Back in my old job in the video shop. T'was a great job, free vids, popcorn, no other staff to hassle me cos I was the assistant manager and even had a deal going with the pizza guys next door (1 vid for 1 pizza).
It was teh bestest job in the world. Ahhh.

Anyways, the only bane of my job was the customers, especially the teenagers. They would come in just to annoy me. Opening and closing the door (which had an annoying alarm), throw chip cartons inside the shop, come in and knock the empty video cases from the wall...

All in the name of fun.

Well, one day they went too far! They had F*cked me about too many times. I spotted one of the kids* stealing coke from the fridge, whilst another was busy nicking the popcorn, whilst another other kid distracted me by throwing the boxes around the shop...
I just saw red mist.
I grabbed the coke stealing kid by his ear and wrenched him across the shop. Kicked the other little bastard (the vandal) so hard in the arse and balls. Then, grabbed the last kid (as he tried to run off), tripped him up and then dragged him outside the shop by his leg... Much to the amusement of the other local shop owners!

I grabbed the biggest one and pinned him up against the wall and screamed in his face "If you so much as THINK about fucking with me again then I'll cut your weenie little dick off and post it to your family!!!"

From that day, they never so much as thought about coming into my shop again. Leaving me free to watch films, eat pizza and get paid for it.

*Disclaimer: When I say Kid. I mean cocky, cider swilling sixteen year old.

I know this has very little to do with the question. But it was probably in my contract 'to not hit customers'.
