Number Teeeeeewwww
(I am a customer who overhears this exchange. A customer rattles the door of the restroom, which is locked. She calls out to an employee.)
Customer: “The bathroom is locked! I need you to unlock it.”
Employee: “I’m sorry, ma’am, but I can’t do that. It’s not a public restroom.”
Customer: “But someone opened it for me before! You need to open this for me. I need to use the bathroom! Can’t you make an exception?”
Employee: “You can go next door to the grocery store. They have a public restroom in the front.”
Customer: “But I can’t make it there! If I could make it there, I wouldn’t have asked you! Now I’m going to s*** in my pants!”
(I have moved several rows over from this discussion as the customer gets increasingly agitated.)
Employee: “I’m sorry, I can’t open the door.” *goes back to work*
Customer: *stomps off with her cart, shouting* “I just s*** my pants! I HOPE YOU CAN SMELL IT!”
