Failed To Get The Rain Check
I work near the exit of my large supermarket, at the tobacco stand. I can see outside that it’s raining quite heavily.
A woman is buying a vape thingy from me, but she doesn’t look up from her phone once during the transaction. She just holds out her current vape and says:
Customer: “Replacement for this.”
I give her what she needs, and she pays by tapping her phone on the card reader. Without looking anywhere else except her phone, she takes her vape and heads for the exit, out into the car park.
I turn around to do some menial task, and when I turn back around to face the shop floor, the same customer is back again. She’s dripping wet from the rain, is finally looking at me and not her phone, and looks angry.
Customer: “You didn’t tell me it was raining! Now I’m all wet!”
