Baggage About A Lack Of Baggage, Part 4
A customer wanted to buy a 25p eraser. It was only a tiny thing; it could fit at the end of a pencil. He could have easily put it in his wallet.
Customer: “Where’s my bag?”
Me: “You want a bag for the eraser?”
Customer: “I made a purchase; I should get a bag!”
Me: “We’re actually out of the small bags, and I assumed—”
Customer: “—you should never assume! It makes an a** out of you and me!”
Me: “You know what, sir? You’re absolutely right.”
I pull out the only bags I have accessible at my checkout; our very largest bags designed for bulky items and capable of covering size A1 packs of paper (594 x 841 mm, or 23.4 x 33.1 inches).
Customer: “You don’t have anything smaller?”
Me: “As I was going to say, sir, the sign at the entrance to the checkouts states we’re currently out of all our bag sizes, except our largest, but I shouldn’t assume that you didn’t read that.”
Customer: “This is ridiculous!” *Storms off, sans bag.*
