Hoping For Some Generational Knowledge

(I work at the only department store in my city, which is very busy and well known. My mom often comes in to pick me up, so the staff all know who she is. I work at customer service, so many people know to ask me for help, and even if I’m not working if they are polite I help them. As I go to the back and see my mother waiting, I notice a lady approach her.)

Customer: “Excuse me, where can I find [item]?”

Mom: “I think they’re over there. I’m not really sure.”

Customer: “Well your daughter works here. You should know!”

(The lady storms off and I approach.)

Me: “Did she just…?”

Mom: “She did, and you want to know the worst part? That’s got to be the third time this week.”
