It’s Going To Be A Long Year…

It is January 2nd. I am working with my assistant manager. We have had a sign on the door for at least a month saying we, like many other businesses, will be closed on New Year’s Day.

An older woman marches up to the assistant manager.

Customer: “I came yesterday to get my precious dog’s food and there was no one here!”

Assistant Manager: “I am very sorry, ma’am, but we were closed yesterday because of the holiday.”

Customer: “I know! How dare you be closed?! I didn’t know you would be closed and I needed my dog’s food!”

Assistant Manager: “We had signs up on the door to tell you we’d be closed.”

Customer: *Gets angrier, going red in the face* “But I needed the food!”

I hurry away so I don’t get caught in the crossfire. Later, the assistant manager comes up to me.

Me: “She wanted us to open on a holiday just for her?”

Assistant Manager: “Exactly.”
