Retail Can Leave You Bor-g-ed Stiff

(It’s towards the end of my work day, and I grab at the first item in a customer’s order right as she swipes her card.)

Me: “I’m sorry, your card did not read as I hadn’t scanned the first item yet.”

Customer: “NOOO!”

Me: *surprised* “Huh?”

Customer: “You have ROBOT-ITIS!”

Me: “Huh?”

Customer: “You said that like you say it a million times a day! Put more feeling into it, Miss Robot!”
