Another day, another customer screaming at me for something completely out of my control.

He waited until yesterday to order something he wanted for tomorrow morning.

He cut it close, but he paid for overnight shipping.

I make sure it gets into a UPS worker's hands, and I not only mark that no signature is required but to leave it at the door even if he's not there because that's what the guy requested. And I told the UPS worker too just in case.

I have to pay extra for this, BTW, and that cost doesn't get passed on to the customer.

Dude just got done screaming at me because the UPS worker DID NOT leave it at the door as instructed and instead left a note to pick it up since the customer was not there.

Customer doesn't have a car, so he's screaming about having to pay $50 for an Uber ride to pick it up after he already spent $150 for the product and overnight shipping.

Like I control all the package carriers in the world and I purposely targeted him. Because that's how I get off or something.

I was nice to him and said I was sorry for the inconvenience, blah blah.

He ended with "well I guess you got your sale and I threw money in the garbage"

And it's like yes I got a sale.

But if you just go to the UPS store and get your product that was delivered less than 24 hours after you asked for it, then you can go get your tattoo tomorrow that you KNEW about for weeks ahead of time and failed to plan properly for.

Oh and don't worry, you can still slather my high-dose lidocaine cream on your skin because you can't handle the needles Mr. Tough Guy.

I don't look down on people who want to use numbing creams for tattoos. Unless they're assholes. Then all bets are off and yeah you're a big fucking baby for using the cream. You can scream at somebody who went out of their way to make you happy and the problem isn't their fault, but you can't take a tattoo without lidocaine.
