Probably < 3%, but those shitty ones were just so, so shitty.

From jobs I've had in the past:

Yep, you have the guy that got me reprimanded and had me re-count a till because "I didn't give him his change back" (I did, I was right, he threw a Karen fit.)

You have the guy who bought nothing but condoms in the quick-check isle and was being really skeevy about it.

You have someone who got pissed he got caught shoplifting and pushed someone into a display with some very pointy crates behind it, and then skipped town when it came to his court date (allegedly, it wasn't me pushed through it, but still.)

You have the person who demanded a full refund for a $30 cake I wrote on because my piping work, while nearly immaculate at the time, wasn't acceptable enough for her and "there wasn't enough white left on the (foot-and-a-half long rectangular) cake."

You have the one woman who had one foot in the grave that had a constant miasma of piss and rot that would come to the teller window, not leave for a half hour, and require actually *closing the branch* after she left to disinfect the bank counters.

This one wasn't officially retail, but you had this one guy call the police on our legal office when he received an invoice that was higher than he wanted, after he'd already reviewed and signed a retainer agreement. You know, to hit the clerical staff with an inconvenience instead of the lawyer itself.

Lastly, library wasn't officially retail either, but I worked front desk, but I had a petty thief that would VERY frequently try to get new cards made from newer employees by bringing in "family members", would check out like $150-$200 worth of children's books and DVDs on their card, and then vanish for a few months.
