I work at a hookah lounge that is frequented by people of many nationalities. As a result, there tends to be language barriers when referring to certain items. I am approached by a Somali customer.
Me: “Hi sir, can I help you?”
Customer: “Yeah, can I get a condom?”
Me: *holding in a giggle* “I’m sorry sir? A what?”
Customer: “A condom. You know, for the hookah?”
Me: “Oh! You mean a plastic mouthpiece?”
Customer: “Yeah, a condom.”
I give the customer the plastic mouthpiece and politely inform him the difference between what he was asking for and what the right name for it was. We both had a laugh about it!
Question of the Week
Have you ever served a bad customer who got what they deserved?
