(I’m a cashier at a local chain store, currently running the self-checkout. We have various songs sung in Spanish playing. Part way through my shift, I’m approached by a customer who’s finished her transaction.)
Customer: *coming very close to me* “When did you sell your store to Mexicans?”
Me: *blinks* “We… didn’t, ma’am.”
Customer: “Then what’s with this music? I can’t understand a word of it!”
Me: “Ma’am, it’s Cinco de Mayo.”
Customer: “Oh!”
(The sad part is, we’ve been playing holiday-appropriate music for years. Is it really that hard to think that we’d play music in Spanish for Cinco de Mayo?)
Question of the Week
Have you ever served a bad customer who got what they deserved?
