If You Can’t Stand The Heat, Get Out Of The Solar System
(This exchange happened while I was taking tickets at the entrance to the park.)
Customer: “You have a very serious problem with your lines.”
Me: “Ma’am, I’m very sorry, what was the problem?”
Customer: “I have been standing out here for twenty minutes in the sun waiting to get into the park. You need to do something about that sun… turn it down or something.”
Me: “Ma’am… I’m very sorry you were uncomfortable, but I really have no control over the sun.”
Customer: “You can’t just turn it down? Who can I talk to around here to get something done about this?”
Me: “You can go talk to Human Resources, ma’am… but I really don’t think they’ll be able to control the sun either.”
Customer: *storms off*
Customer #2: *walking up* “So… what’s it like controlling the weather?”
