Positive:
A customer came in wanting a gun. I was unable to provide him one because of the wait time and his past criminal record. Since Customer service is of the utmost importance, I took it upon myself to go outside standard policy and get him the fully automatic assult rifle he wanted for protection; he had it in his hands about an hour later when I delivered it right to his front door, fully loaded with a 100 rd magazine, and an extra 5 cases of ammo. He offered me a generous tip, but I declined as it was company policy.

Negative:
Some old lady came into my store looking for a present for her son. She didn't look like she had any money, so I called the cops and told them she was harrassing my other customers. She was hauled out in chains. But it made me feel good inside.

Positive - You happy, customer happy, everyone happy

Negative - Customer is an asshat, you do your job anyway, don't hold a grudge, treat him fairly and within company policy
