No Pink Bunnies, But Plenty Of Jackasses

, , , | Right | April 12, 2008

(During the Christmas season, our large bookstore gets awfully busy. The phone rings.)

Me: “Hello, this is [My Name]; how can I help you?”

Customer: “Hi, I’m looking for a book.”

Me: “Sure, I can help you out. Do you know the title?”

Customer: “Okay, so, the book is about a bunny rabbit and I used to read it when I was a kid. It had a pink cover.”

Me: “Do you know the title, maybe?”

Customer: “Look, I’m very busy and I need this book for my kid. It’s about a bunny and the cover is pink. How many pink bunny books can there possibly be? Go look for it!”

Me: “Sir, we have no option in our search system regarding book covers–”

Customer: “Look. Go f****** find it. I’m very busy!”

Me: “Sure, let me put you on hold for a little bit.” *click*

(Later, I found out that a customer came in looking for a pink bunny book and a “fruity-sounding” bookseller. I’m a girl.)
