One horror story could be a collector finding a rare comic in a comic book store, but when they go to pay for it, the owner suddenly says it's not for sale after all. Maybe he realized he could get a much higher price elsewhere or just changed his mind for no good reason.
Well, there was this story where a group of friends who were regulars at the comic book store decided to start their own comic. They got inspiration from all the different comics they'd read there. They started small, with self - published issues, and gradually built a following within the store's community. It was really cool to see how the store became a launchpad for their creativity.
A rather serious type of horror story is the fraud type. Some comic book stores have been known to sell fake comics as genuine ones. They might use high - quality replicas and pass them off as the real deal. An unsuspecting collector could end up spending a fortune on something that is essentially worthless. This not only causes financial loss to the customer but also damages the reputation of the entire comic book collecting community.
I'm not sure. You might want to check local business directories or ask around in the area.
Sure. There was a time when a famous comic book artist visited the store unexpectedly. Everyone was so excited. He did some sketches for the fans there and shared some behind - the - scenes stories about creating his well - known comics.
I heard of a case where a luxury store sold a defective item as new. When the customer came back to complain, they were made to wait for hours and were finally told that it was their own fault for not checking properly before buying. It was really unfair as the defect was not visible at first glance.
One horror story could be when a gun store owner accidentally sold a firearm to a person with a serious criminal record. The owner didn't do proper background checks. Later, that person was involved in a violent crime using the gun from the store. It put the whole community in danger and the store got a lot of bad publicity.
One convenience store horror story is about a cashier who saw a strange figure lurking in the back of the store every night at the same time. It was always just out of sight when she tried to look closer. Another is when a customer entered a convenience store late at night and the lights started flickering, and he heard whispering voices but was the only one there. There was also a story of a delivery truck driver who saw a pair of glowing eyes in the storage area of a convenience store he was making a delivery to, but when he told the store owner, no one believed him.
There was a story where a jewelry store received a shipment of fake diamonds that they unknowingly sold to customers. When the truth was discovered, there were a lot of angry customers demanding refunds. The store had to deal with a huge financial loss and a damaged reputation. They had to go through a long process of verifying all their inventory to make sure there were no more fakes.
I once found a coat at a thrift store. When I put it on, I felt a really cold spot on the back of it. Later, I found out that the previous owner had passed away while wearing that coat. It gave me the chills just thinking about it. I never wore it again and returned it to the store.
One horror story could be getting locked in a department store overnight. I heard of a case where an employee accidentally got locked in the store after closing. All the lights were off, and it was pitch - dark. They were terrified of the strange noises and the thought of being alone with all those mannequins. Another story is about encountering strange, aggressive customers. There was a time when a customer became extremely angry over a small discount issue and started shouting and even threatening the staff.
