Why On Earth Would You Need To Know Where On Earth
(I work in an airport.)
Customer: “How long does it take to get to Glasgow?”
Me: “But you’re in Glasgow.”
Customer: “Duh! I need to know how long it will take to get here.”
Me: “From where?”
(Blank stare.)
Me: “I need to know where you would be departing from.”
Customer: “Why on earth do you need to know that?”
Me: “Because flying from Australia would take considerably longer than if you were to fly from say, Southampton.”
Customer: “That’s stupid. You work in an airport and you can’t even answer such a simple question!” *walks away*
(I saw him approach several other staff, but none were able to help him. He left shouting about how incompetent we all were.)
