No Good Deed Goes Unpunished, Part 2

Boss: “Hey, I need to talk to you for a second.”

Me: “Is there a problem?”

Boss: “I received a complaint about you from a customer. By our rules we have to pull you aside and tell you.”

Me: “Okay, what’s the complaint?”

Boss: “Um, you were too nice.”

Me: “Come again?”

Boss: “Apparently, you were trying too hard to be nice and doing your job bagging for her. She got offended by it, so… be more careful, I guess.”

Me: “Wait, I’m in trouble because I was being too nice?”

Boss: “Yeah.”

Me: “This is a new one.”
