The scalper customers at my job are annoying

The scalpers are usually people in their mid 30s to 40's. They buy collectable toys and cards in bulk and resell them on ebay.

It shouldn't be an issue, however: they're socially awkward, they scream at employees when the item they seek isnt in stock, some get creepily clingy towards employees that show kindness to them, and some are so obsessed with getting their product that they follow our vendors to their homes.

Some scalpers have even snatched toys and cards out of children's hands. A little kid shouldn't be getting bullied by an adult like that! I get that collecting shit has gotten popular due to covid and that covid has left people isolated which kills whatever social skills they have, but it's not an excuse to act like an idiot.

One of the scalpers tried to find out where I live on people finder sites. She seemed to think that the fake smile and fake bubbly demeanor I give to EVERYONE at work was something more. Lucky for me none of those sites(including the paid shit) have any of my current adresses, emails, or known relatives.

Is any of this normal?

      Same, what the fuck? I remember when I worked at a pharmacy we weren’t allowed to sell more than 8 bottles of baby milk to customers because people were reselling it to Chinese customers online but those people would just politely show up each day and peacefully buy their 8 bottles. They would be banned from the store if they were snatching it out of people’s hands.

    Ive been considering buyijg and reselling guns years later. Alot of WW2 guns were only $100 when I was a teen and those same guns at $1500+ now. Wish I had bought 30 of them.

    That's messed up. Customer service was hard enough before the pandemic, I can't imagine working a job like that now. Seems like a lot of people think this situation has somehow given them permission to act like a complete looney tune in public.

    The people who snatch toys out of children are complete scumbags.
