A customer has just checked out and has left her cart at my register. As she’s walking away:
Me: “Ma’am, you forgot something.”
She looked at me like I had just insulted her.
Customer: “It’s not my job to put it away.”
Me: “Well, it’s not my job either!”
She does not know what to do with that response, so just stands there kinda stunned for a moment. I break her out of her daze by taking my forefinger and giving the cart the gentlest of nudges toward her. She just takes it, puts it back, and leaves.
