Temporal Retentive

(I work at a restaurant as a hostess. I see a customer, her young daughter, and her mother on their way out so I bid them farewell.)

Me: “Have a nice night. Thanks for coming!” *smile*

(The customer gives me a long stare and then mimics me.)

Customer: *sarcastically* “Have a nice night…”

Customer’s Mother: “Can I have your store’s phone number and your name? I would like to complain about your behavior!”

(I don’t know what this is about, but I still give them the phone number. Two hours later…)

Manager: “Hey, a lady just called and complained about you.”

Me: “Really? What did she say?”

Manager: “You told her to have a nice night.”

Me: “What’s wrong with that?”

Manager: “It was still light outside.”
