Heading Down Rocky Road
(I’m working a stall at an amusement park. A lady and her 4, maybe 5 year old come over.)
Customer: Hello! We would like to play this game, please.
Me: Okay, $5 to play.
Customer: Here you go!
Me: Thank you. Now, the point of this game is to throw the rubber chickens onto that target over there. It’s the one held down by rocks-
Customer: Rocks?! You said he would be throwing rubber chickens, not rocks!
Me: I didn’t say he would be throwing rocks, I said that rocks are holding down the target-
Customer: I demand a refund! This isn’t safe for kids!
(She actually pushed me out of the way, and took about $50 back)
Coworker: Hey! You can’t take all that money!
Customer: Shut the f*** up, b****! I am taking my money back and there is NOTHING you can do about it!
(Another coworker signaled the owner over)
Owner: What’s the problem?
Customer: This stall is NOT safe for kids, so I’m taking my money back!
Owner: I’m afraid you can’t do that.
Customer: Why the h*** not?
Owner: Because security should be coming over in about 3 minutes to bring you to the cops.
Customer: Too bad I won’t be here!
(She starts running for it, but looks back at us, and flips us the bird)
Security: Excuse me, ma’am, but where do you think you’re going?
(Customer recaps the story)
Security: Yeah, I’m not gonna let that happen.
(Security handcuffs her, and takes her out to a cop car)
Security: Oh, and I’ll take that money, too. Thank you, and come again!
