A Customer Of A Different Color

I work in a restaurant, and we get a call asking for a manager. That’s not always a good sign, but okay. I answer the phone and this guy is in a panic.

Caller: “My wife and I come in a lot, and I know this is going to sound weird…”

Okay, I’m thinking this is going to be really bad.

Caller: “I’m at [Paint Store], and my wife loves the color of your patio doors. Can you please send the paint guy a few pictures? I can’t remember exactly what they look like, but I told her I got it!”

I’m on the verge of just cracking up.

Me: “Of course!”

He gave me the number, and I snapped a few pictures and sent them off. Just the quaver and desperation in his voice told me I had to help him out. That’s definitely a first for me.
