An Internal Decision

(The manager in our store usually works the shop floor on weekends when we’re busy as if she were a normal staff member. It’s worth noting that she is always running around, never standing still. She comes into the lab where I am sorting orders, stops still, and smiles at me.)

Manager: “You know sometimes you get really mean, rude, horrible patients?”

Me: “Yep, all the time.”

Manager: “Well, the one I’m with is as bad as I’ve ever seen. She waited for five minutes to get her glasses, and so now she wants something for free.”

Me: *confused* “Well then, what are you doing in here?”

Manager: “I told her I’d ask the manager.” *giggles* “I think I’m going to say no!”
