Always A Complaint On The Braaaaainnnz

(I’m in the return line at a big department store when I overhear this conversation:)

Worker: “I’m sorry, but this receipt is two months old.  You only have ten days to return an item, even if it’s defective.”

Customer: “Braaaainz.”

Worker: “I understand it’s frustrating, but I’m tied by the corporate rules for returns.”

Customer: “BRAAAAAIIIINZ!”

Worker: “Sure, I can get you a manager, but she’s just going to tell you the same thing.   Corporate is very firm about the returns policy and she cannot override it either.”

Customer: “Braaaaainnzzz! BRAAAAAAIIIINNNZZZZ!”

Worker: “Well, I’m sorry you feel that way, but again, there’s nothing more I can do about this.”

Customer: “Braaainz!”  *customer shuffles off*

Worker: *to me*  “Hi!  What can I help you with today?”

Me: *confused* “Um.  Brainz?”
