Best Idea I’ve Heard All Day
(The receptionist at our computer repair store is handling a customer at the front desk.)
Customer: “Can you fix my laptop screen? There’s a big black mark on it.”
(The customer opens the laptop to show a cracked screen.)
Receptionist: “How did that happen?”
Customer: “I closed it, but there was a beer bottle lid inside. It went weird after that.”
Receptionist: “We can repair it for you, but it will cost approximately $1,000 as this is physical damage and not covered by warranty.”
Customer: “I am not paying $1,000 to repair a stupid laptop! You are trying to rip me off, you little b****! It’s under warranty! I know my rights!”
Receptionist: “I am sorry, sir, but we cannot replace the LCD under warranty and you will have to pay for it yourself if you want it replaced.”
Customer: “I’m not paying, so you can go f*** yourself!”
Receptionist: “That’s the best idea I have heard all day, thanks! I’ll go do that right now.”
(The receptionist goes around corner and into back room.)
Customer: “What the f***?!” *leaves, slamming door*
Receptionist: “Is he gone?”
Manager: “Yes, are you finished?”
