Unfiltered Story #160952

I open a second register to help with the growing line of customers. A man sees me and jumps to my register, but there were others in line ahead of him that should have been helped first.

Me: You were not next.

Him: This makes up for all the times it has happened to me.

I am irritated but bite my tongue and get him rung up. When he is out the door with his purchase, I apologize to the older couple behind him.

Me: I am so sorry! Two wrongs do not make a right, but I did not want to start an argument.

Thankfully, the couple was patient and understanding.
