Unfiltered Story #98560

My boss takes customer service very seriously, and sometimes agrees to go an extra mile or two for some of them. One of our regulars, a nice man with a Russian accent, comes in while she’s grumbling and struggling with a difficult shipping job that one such customer had asked her to do. He asks what’s going on, so she explains and tells him what the other customer is expecting from her.

Regular: “You should show him 50%.”

We all look at him in confusion.

Boss: “50%?”

Regular: “Yes. See the hand?”

He holds up his hand towards us, splaying out all five fingers.

Regular: *Mischievously* “Which one is 50%?”

He also suggested that, since we’re ladies, we could call the other customer “a donkey-hole”. Naturally, we love this guy.
