Awesome Bosses Are Hard To Ignore
(The store I work at is a punk/gag retail store. Our customers generally range from the usual teenagers, to the occasional adult. We’re required to greet every guest as they enter the store and provide them with a promotion. It’s not uncommon for guests to completely ignore us. This happens to be one of those times.)
Me: “Hey, Welcome to [Store]. How are you?”
Customer: *ignores me*
(Once the customer is out of earshot, I turn to my store manager who has been standing beside me given the rather slow day.)
Manager: “I’m great; how are you?”
Me: “I’m good! Can I help you find anything?”
Manager: “No, just browsing.”
Me: “All right! Well, jewelry is buy one, get one half off! Feel free to ask if you have any questions.”
Manager: “Thank you!”
(We then parted ways and went about our business as if nothing ever happened.)
