Some Compliments Can Creep Up On You
Medical Office | Friendly
| July 13, 2014
(I have just signed in at reception for an appointment, while an elderly man is headed for the door. I have long hair; it ends just above my bum.)
Elderly Man: “Mornin'”
Me: “Good morning.”
Elderly Man: “You have lovely hair you know.”
Me: “Thanks.”
Elderly Man: “It would look lovely draped over my silk pink cushion.”
(The elderly man leaves the office at a pace I did not realize he could move at.)
Me: “Erm… thanks?”
Receptionist: “It was a sort of compliment, I guess…”
(Luckily, I have not seen that man at the doctor’s again!)
Question of the Week
Have you ever served a bad customer who got what they deserved?
