Giving Voice To Stupid Complaints
(I work at a fast food sandwich shop. I come out of the back room and hear an irate customer talking to my coworker. I decide to watch, because she can get rather sassy with rude customers.)
Coworker: “Would you like anything else on this?”
Customer: “Could you not talk like that?”
Coworker: “I’m sorry, I’m recovering from a cold, so my voice is a little hoarse.”
Customer: “Your voice is really annoying me.”
Coworker: “I’m sorry, I can’t speak any differently until my cold is completely gone.”
Customer: “Your voice is getting really d*** annoying!” *points at me* “You, finish my sandwich. I’m done with her.”
(The customer immediately became very polite once my coworker went into the back room. I finished up the sandwich and rang her up.)
