Banana-Drama, Part 10
(I am putting out the most beautiful, bright yellow, spotless bananas I have ever seen. A man in his thirties approaches:)
Customer: “Do you have any greener bananas?”
Me: “Greener?”
Customer: “Well, yes. These bananas are too ripe. I like them greener so I can buy them a few days in advance.”
Me: “Sorry, no. I have put out everything we have in stock. Maybe we’ll get some greener ones tomorrow.”
Customer: *almost cutting me off* “WELL, TELL THE PERSON ORDERING TO GET SOME GREENER BANANAS! EVERYWHERE I GO, THEY HAVE GREENER BANANAS, BUT NOT YOU!”
Me: “I’m sorry, but there’s really nothing I can do. I put out the merchandise sent; we can only specify the quantities.”
Customer: “THEN I’LL TALK TO THE OWNER OF THIS STORE CHAIN!”
Me: “You go do that.”
Customer: “I WILL!” *walks off angrily*
(I was jokingly mocked about too ripe bananas for the better half of two weeks by coworkers. It has been one of the weirdest complaints to be filed against our store.)
