Hold The Phone, Not The Line

I was at a rather popular big-name retail store looking to get a game that had been released that day. I had to wait for the sole cashier at the store’s electronics department to be finished with a couple of customers before they could get me the game from behind a locked glass door and then ring me up. All of a sudden one of the customers decided to get on his phone for… too long.

The cashier noticed me and told me to wait a minute, which I was willing to do because stuff happens. They must have noticed my patience for the customers was starting to run thin, as they put the customers’ order aside, got the game I wanted out, canceled their order after informing them they were on the phone and holding up the line for too long, and then rang me up.

To that cashier: you didn’t have to do that, but kudos, and if you’re reading this, I hope you’re having a good day.
