Let’s Hope It’s Canine Benign
(The owner of the pet store I work at calls me into his office to listen to a recorded call.)
Owner: “Are my employees idiotic?”
Me: “Uh… what?”
(The owner presses a button on computer and a recording starts.)
Coworker: “Its a wonderful day at [Pet Store]. My name is [Name]. How may I help you?”
Caller: “My dog has cancer. Do you guys recommend any special type of food?”
Coworker: “OH MY GOD! WE HAVE THE CUTEST DOGS!”
Customer: “My dog has cancer, you f***** a**-hole.”
Coworker: “…oh.”
(The owner stops the recording and looks at me.)
Me: “That wasn’t me. I don’t even answer phones! I stay locked up in the kennel, away from humans!”
Owner: “I know. You hear all the gossip they sprout when they’re back there. Are my floor people idiotic?”
Me: “… yes.”
