Rude customer flips out after seeing booked manicurist shopping for groceries

These days, it's not unusual to see people with multiple jobs. If you're living somewhere expensive, it's pretty much mandatory if you want to have some savings. It's difficult to find a life-work balance if you're working two or three jobs, especially if your customers are particularly demanding.

Reddit user annieemayy recently took to the subreddit Choosing Beggars to share an exchange between a manicurist and one of her customers. The text message took place after the manicurist told the customer they didn't have any free appointments that week.

The customer ended up spotting the manicurist at Tesco, a chain of grocery stores in the United Kingdom, and wasn't too happy about it.

The manicurist tries to explain that she was shopping for food and that it was 8 p.m, but the customer just wasn't having it. The conversation continues...

Unsurprisingly, Reddit users seemed to think that the customer was being unreasonable. 

One user wrote: "If she worked half as long as she expects OP to, how does she have time to get her nails done?"

While another added: "It's amazing how common this mindset is. I'm a software dev, and people are always seem stunned that I leave my work at work."

This issue seems to be pretty common for hair stylists too:

"Hair appointments too. A friend of mine is a hair stylist and a girl I used to work with saw her for her hair. Girl at work couldn't reach her so she asked if I knew what was up. I told her she was on her honeymoon and when she would be back. She kept calling her anyway so finally my friend answered."

Another user concluded: "I literally laughed out loud when she said she saw you at a store and saying why were you there when you could be doing her nails. People are so dumb and entitled just makes me laugh sometimes."

Sadly, Choosing Beggars are a common occurrence, even with people outing them on social media all the time. This Redditor shared a screenshot of someone asking them to deliver a toilet to a town 35 minutes away when they were giving away for free. 

Another Redditor shared a screenshot of someone asking an artist to paint their wall for free. Thankfully artists can survive on exposure.
