Unfiltered Story #174544

(I’m working on cleaning up the store and making sure the shelves look pretty, a customer walks up to one of the shelves. The shelf is empty because everything on there had been bought.)

Customer: “Where’s the uhh…” *motions vaguely to the empty shelf.*

Me: “Yes?”

Customer: “Where’s the, the, uhh, the product?” *Continues motioning vaguely to the empty shelf.*

Me: “Which product, sir?”

Customer: *Looks at me like I’m an idiot, and becomes frustrated* “The product!”

Me: “Sir, which product is it you’re looking for?” *I’m being extremely polite, even though inside I’m boiling up.*

Customer: “THE product! The one product!” *He’s yelling loudly now, flailing his arms and pointing at nothing in particular*

Me: *I continue being polite* “Sir, do you know the name of the product you’re looking for?”

Customer: *His face is red now, I can practically see the steam coming from his ears* “I WANT TO SPEAK TO A MANAGER!”

Me: *I simply nod and smilke* “Certainly, sir. Right away.”
