Don’t Put Your Neck Out For Any Customer
(I am working as a cashier at a clothing company. We have just gotten a new scarf in that is more popular than the company anticipated, and we sell out super quickly. I am wearing the scarf while working the register.)
Customer: “That is such a great scarf!”
Me: “Thank you!”
Customer: “Where did you get it?”
Me: “Oh, I got it here, but we sold out, unfortunately!”
Customer: “How much is it?”
Me: “It was [price], but unfortunately, we sold out. I can maybe see if another store has it in stock?”
Customer: “How much is that one?”
Me: “It’s [price], but again, we’ve sold out. It may be available online.”
Customer: “No, how much is the one that you are wearing?”
Me: “Again, it’s [price], but we’ve sold out.”
Customer: “No, how much is the one that is literally around your neck? How much can I give you to sell me your scarf?”
Me: “Sir, I will not sell you clothing that I am literally wearing.”
