(The customer has been hovering around my register for the past few minutes.)
Me: “Can I help you find something, sir?”
Customer: “Do these gift cards have expiration dates?”
Me: “Nope, they’ll last until you feel like spending them.”
Customer: “Oh. Uh, where can I find the restroom?”
(As soon as I turn around and point to the bathroom, he grabs a rack of gift cards and sprints for the door, trailing cards behind him.)
Me: *yelling after him* “Sir, those don’t have anything on them until you purchase them.”
(He stops at the door for a moment, then sheepishly returns and puts the rack back.)
Customer: “Why don’t you guys have a freaking sign out saying they’re empty?!”
