I Can So See This On Broadway
(I’m hurrying to the bathroom as a foreign couple starts flailing at me.)
Me: “How can I he–”
Customers: “FAXMACHEEEEE!”
Me: “A fax machine?”
Male Customer: “FAXMACHEEEEEE!”
Me: “Okay… well, if you follow me over here, I’ll show you what we have.”
(I lead the customer over to the single fax machine that we carry.)
Female Customer: *staring at me confused* “FAXMACHEEE?!”
Me: “Yes, that’s a fax machi–”
Male Customer: “FAXMACHEEE?!”
Me: “Are you trying to ask if we carry any other fax machines?”
Male Customer: *stares blankly at me for a few moments*
Female Customer: *nods frantically* “FAXMACHEEEE!”
Me: “I’m sorry, but this is the only one we carry currently.”
Male Customer: “… faxmachee?” *hangs head and walks away with female customer*
