He Decided To Throw In The Towel
(I work as a receptionist at a water park. A customer walks in with his wife and children.)
Me: “Hello and welcome to [Water Park]!”
Customer: “Hi, I would like tickets for my family and myself. I also want to rent some towels.”
Me: “Oh, we don’t rent out towels. They are only for sale.”
Customer: *absolutely shocked* “What?! You don’t? This is the first time I’ve ever heard of that!”
Me: “I’m very sorry, sir.”
Customer: “So you just let your customers leave with wet towels?!”
Me: “Yes.”
Customer: *stares*
Me: “…”
Customer: *looks at wife* “They don’t rent out towels. We have to go home and get the towels.” *walks away*
Me: “Um…” *looks at coworker*
Coworker: “Wow, that is some serious first world problem!”
(They never came back.)
