I Become Employee, Destroyer Of Air Pumps

, , | Right | February 5, 2012

(A customer comes into the store part of the petrol station after unsuccessfully trying to inflate his tires with our air pump that was labelled as being out of order.)

Customer: “I can’t inflate my tires.”

Me: “Sorry about that. The air pump is broken at the moment, and we’re waiting on the technician to repair it next week.”

Customer: “This is outrageous! I need to inflate my tires!”

Me: “Sorry, there’s not a lot I can do. We have small cans of air, but they’re quite expensive and are only meant for emergencies.”

Customer: “This is the third station in this area I’ve been to today with a faulty pump!”

(Suddenly, the customer narrows his eyes at me.)

Customer: “This can’t be a coincidence.”

Me: “Wait, are you saying I sabotaged not only our own pump, but the air pumps at several competing petrol stations as well?”

Customer: “You must be doing something. This is outrageous!”
