Customers Only Add Fuel To The Fire
While working the counter, I smell smoke. I check around and see that the chicken case has caught on fire. I yell for the guy I’m working with. He grabs a fire extinguisher and I start moving stuff in the case so we can get to the growing electrical fire.
A customer approaches. He sees this: I’m holding up a shelf so that my coworker can get the extinguisher close to the VISIBLE FLAMES.
Customer: “Do you guys have any more hams?”
Me: “Yeah. I’ll get them after we take care of this.”
Customer: *Agitated* “Is there anyone else that can help me?”
Me: “No, it’s just us. I’ll get them as soon as the fire is out.”
Customer: “Could you hurry?”
