Irregular Regulars
(At the dry cleaners where I work, an elderly woman comes in nearly every day. We think she has something wrong with her mentally, but she’s a sweet lady.)
Customer: “Hi, girls!
Me: “Hello, again!”
Customer: “It’s a very nice day today, I’ve just been on a walk!”
Coworker: “Yes, looks bright and sunny!”
Customer: “The sun has made me tired. I feel like I need a nap…”
Me: “That’s a good idea. Why don’t you take a nap?”
Customer: “Okay!”
(She takes me literally and lays down right there in front of the door.)
Coworker: “Um… how are people going to give us their clothes for cleaning?”
Customer: “I don’t know.” *doesn’t move*
Me: “Can you please move?”
Coworker: “Please, we need to keep the doorway clear.”
Customer: “But I really like it right here!”
Me: “Wouldn’t your bed be so much more comfortable?”
Customer: “Oh, I guess so.”
(She gets up, takes some more mints for her coat pocket, and shuffles out the door.)
Me: “See you tomorrow!”
