Unfiltered Story #288398

(I work at a well known department style store know for their earnable cash. While I was passing the men’s clearance I encountered a couple shopping, so I stopped to ask them if they were doing alright.)

Me: Hi, are you guys doing alright?

(Customer #1 kind of looks at me strangely, almost as she can’t believe I spoke to her.)

Customer #1: Yes, we’re doing fine, thank you.

Me: Of course! Let us know that if that changes.

(I start to walk away and when I’m probably a few yards away, I hear part of what Customer #1’s husband say to her:)

Husband: -Yeah, and that lady wasted your time by speaking to you!

Customer #1: Yeah.

(I wish I had turned around and said something but what am I supposed to say to that? Also, I was mostly just amazed at the audacity this man had; who says something so rude, so loudly in a practically empty store!)
