A phone store employee got the closing-time surprise of his career when a customer walked in and asked him to unblock his girlfriend on Facebook. The worker explained that the store sells phones, not social media account access, but the customer wasn’t having it. He refused to leave, demanded someone help him, and even asked how he could get in touch with Mark Zuckerberg. The worker’s reply,“Do I look like Mister Zuckerberg to you?”, turned the whole moment into a TikTok that has racked up more than 42,000 likes.
The customer then tried another angle, complaining about lost“male camaraderie”and suggesting the worker should have his back. The worker shut that down too, making it clear he wasn’t about to help anyone stalk a soon-to-be ex-girlfriend through a Facebook block.
Retail workers flooded the comments with their own closing-time stories, and honestly, this one belongs in the retail hall of fame. If you’ve ever worked a register, you know exactly how this goes. What’s the wildest thing a customer ever asked you to do after hours? Drop it in the comments.
