Word Of The Day: Owned
(As I am working in the department, refilling betta containers, dressed in company attire and name tag clearly displayed.)
Customer: “Do you work here?”
Me: “Yes ma’am, I do. What can I help you with?”
Customer: “I was standing here for 10 minutes, waiting for someone to help me.”
Me: “Oh, well I have been here for the last 20 minutes.”
Customer: “Could you help me find this [competitor's can of cat food]?”
Me: “I am sorry ma’am, we do not sell that brand here.”
Customer: “DO NOT TELL ME THAT, I WAS JUST HERE LAST WEEK AND BOUGHT IT!! I KNOW YOU SELL IT!!”
Me: “I’m sorry, we don’t.”
Customer: “FINE THEN, PROVE IT!!”
(I turn to the back of the can and read it.)
Me: “Marketed and sold by [competitor]. Anything else I can help you with?”
Customer: *turns and walks away*
Me: *smile*
