You Attitude Is Just Peachy
Customer: “Excuse me. How much are your peaches?”
Me: “We don’t have peaches at the moment, ma’am, sorry.”
Customer: “Yes, you do.”
Me: “No, ma’am, we don’t. Do you mean the nectarines? They’re 5.99 a kilo.”
Customer: *snaps* “I know what nectarines look like, missy.”
Me: “All right. I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to insinuate that, but peaches aren’t in season right now. There are none around. Sorry.”
Customer: “Does your boss know you talk to people like this?”
Me: “Ma’am, I haven’t done anything wrong. Maybe if you show me what you’re talking about, then I can help you.”
Customer: “The peaches! I want to know how much the peaches are! It’s a simple question!”
Me: “Ma’am, there are no peaches in this store. Just…please show me what you’re talking about.”
Customer: “FINE.”
(The customer takes me to the store front and points at a display.)
Customer: “THESE!”
Me: “Those are mangoes.”
