Just Don’t Mention The War
(It’s Christmas time and it’s super busy. I’m working in the jewelry department, helping an older woman pick out a pendant.)
Customer: “Oh, well, these look nice.”
Me: “Yes, ma’am, they’re actually on sale, too. Let me grab some other pieces you might like.”
(I turn to see a man jogging towards the entrance of the store. A second later, our loss prevention man comes running by, jumps, and flies through the air, tackling the jogging man to the ground.)
Customer: “I think those two men are fighting, sir.”
Me: “Just checking the walls, ma’am.” *trying to act nonchalant to avoid causing a scene*
Customer: “Oh, you watch Fawlty Towers?”
(The woman completely forgot about the wrestling match one aisle over and I managed to make a delightful commission. Thanks, John Cleese.)
