About A 9.5 On The Annoying Scale
(I am talking to [Customer #1] about a shoe we don’t have in stock when I am interrupted by a second customer.)
Customer #2: “Do you have this shoe in 7.5?”
Me: *scans* “No, ma’am, we have a 7 and 8; would you want to try that?”
Customer #2: “I need 7.5.”
Me: “Sorry, ma’am, we only have 7 and 8.”
Customer #2: “I need 7.5.”
Me: “I don’t have that; would you like to try size 7?”
Customer #2: “Okay, I will try 7.5.”
Me: “Ma’am, I don’t have 7.5; I have a 7 or 8, no 7.5.”
Customer #2: “You don’t have 7.5?”
Me: “No, ma’am, I don’t.”
Customer #2: “Okay.” *walks away*
Customer #1: *looks at me* “Did that really just happen?”
