    Merch staff at big arena and stadium shows very rarely work directly for the band or even for the venue. The venue will go to an outside contractor to provide event staffing. 

    Whilst there's no excuse for being an asshole these guys are doing a job working unsociable hours for minimum wage and have most likely had to put up with hundreds of asshole customers before you got there. Unfortunately PJ fans are some of the worst to deal with when it comes to merch. Very few other bands have fans queuing up for merch hours before the event and buying up everything available meaning the merch staff spend a good portion of their shift apologising for the wait times and lack of availability. A few years back I was at a PJ show in London and overheard a couple of the merch stall staff talking saying that not one person had said please or thank you to them all day. So I am not surprised if every now and then one of them snaps at a customer.

    ;)

    The op seemed targeted to even get a snarked up comment after the show.

    Out of line. Someone was being uncool. Not really surprising, but a little saddening. 
    Oh well.

    Take care of each other.

    Go back to the merch stand today, find the guy who was rude to you and tell him the jerk store called and they’re running out of him. Caaaaaaaaastanza

    Appeared to be an animal, yet so polite.

    I interacted with 2 merch people the last few days and they were both absolutely delightful. Frankly I was suspicious.

    Don't go to a merch stand expecting the price to be calculated correctly every time.  Leakage.  Get in, and get the F out.  If your Large shirt fits like a Medium, get the F out.  All part of the excitement that is merch.  

    Haha, that's how it's supposed to be.  Now people want to check it out, try it on, and lineup moves super slow.   I miss the days where I want this and this, here's the cash, peace out.

    I went to a show the other night, and the lead singer kept shouting "Fuck you" to me, then told me repeatedly that the show was not for me. Very rude!
