(I am a manager at a popular theme park in Florida. A customer is complaining about the price of a princess dress. I have already started ringing it up and scanned their annual pass.)
Customer: “Oh, I didn’t realize it was that expensive. Can I get a discount?”
Me: “Well, you already get a discount with the annual pass.”
Customer: “Can I get more of a discount?”
Me: “I am sorry. The costume is in pristine condition; there is nothing wrong with it. I cannot justify a discount.”
Customer: “Fine! Let me talk to your supervisor!”
Me: “She’s on break. I am the manager on duty right now.”
Customer: *leaning in close* “If you don’t give me a discount, I won’t ever come back to the park again.”
Me: “So, you’re going to waste your annual pass because I won’t give you a discount?”
(His face turned red and he shoved over the bills to pay for it. Obviously, I yelled after him, “Have a magical day!” in a cheery voice.)

Empty threats strike again.
Don't be fooled by appearances. In Hawaii, some of the most powerful people look like bums and stuntmen.
