Didn’t Keep Quiet About It
I’m the morning cashier, and I have an extremely sore throat. To save the pain, I keep my talking to a minimum to the customers, just saying hello and asking the necessary questions.
I ring up around five customers and hit a quiet patch, and then my manager calls me into the training room.
Manager: “The last customer you rang up complained about you.”
Me: “Really? No one seemed mad to me.”
Manager: “She said that you were quiet and unfriendly to her.”
Me: “I’m always quiet! And I have a sore throat!”
Manager: “I’m sorry, and I understand. I just have to let you know about it. You’re not in trouble.”
First of all, just because someone is quiet, it doesn’t mean they’re rude.
Second of all, if that whiny lady wanted a conversation so badly, why didn’t she just talk to me during the transaction?! She was as quiet as I was!
