Deaf To Reason, Part 17
Customer: “I was waiting in line for a long time.”
Me: “Sorry, the last customer paid with a check, and I haven’t done one of those in a while. It kinda blindsided me.”
Customer: “Oh, so [Store] hires people who use disabilities as an insult, do they?”
Me: “I… uh… No, it’s just a phrase.”
Customer: “The N-word was once just a phrase!”
Me: “Pretty sure that was always a derogatory insult from the beginning. ‘Blindsided’ just means—”
Customer: “I know what it means and stop saying it!”
Me: “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to cause offense.”
I process the transaction in silence.
Customer: “That item is supposed to be 10% off!”
Me: “Oh, that sale actually starts tomorrow, but I can apply the discount now for you.”
Customer: “Seriously, so dumb.”
The customer was sadly… blind to the irony.
