Happened to me once. I did not know who he was in told him so. It’s possible the guy was bluffing. He claimed to be some state senator.

    Yes, they claimed their cousin owned the store. The store ower was in their 60s and lived across the country. They, on the other hand, was a pissed off, drunk, early 20s college student at a closed pizza shop at 4am. No, your cousin is not the store owner.

      In every case I’ve seen of this, the cousin probably does own the store - and knows very well they have idiot relatives. If the relative says anything it will be “you should have been harder on [censored]”

        They 100% didnt in my case. The company wasnt very large and for some reason liked to include the founding/owners family history as part of on-board training. They were just a drunk college kid upset we wouldnt serve them pizza after closing hours.
