A Library Of Sarcastic Comments
(I’m the misbehaving employee in this story. I tend to be a bit snarky and sarcastic, but I can usually “turn it off” at work. Today, I’m shelving DVDs when a woman pulls a DVD off the shelf, loses her grip on it, and drops it on the floor. The snark just pops out before I can stop it.)
Me: *cheerfully* “You can just set that down anywhere, ma’am.”
Patron: *laughs*
Me: “Oh, my gosh. I’m so sorry. That just popped out of my mouth.”
Patron: “It’s okay! It was funny!”
Me: “Thanks. Sorry, I speak sarcasm as a second language.”
Patron: “We should get you a t-shirt that says that.”
(Thanks for being a good sport about it, lady.)
