Of Breath Smoke And Breast Strokes
(A customer with children in tow tries to book a smoking room, but we are sold out.)
Customer’s Kids: “We want to go swimming!”
Customer: “They don’t have any smoking rooms, and I gotta smoke. We have to go somewhere else.”
Customer’s Kids: “Can’t you just go outside and smoke?”
Customer: “It’s snowing outside! Oh, you’d like it if I had to go out in the cold and snow just so you could go swimming, wouldn’t you?”
Me: “I can call the motel next door for you and see if they have any smoking rooms available.”
Customer’s Kids: “But they have an indoor pool here! We want to go in the pool!”
Customer: “That’s all you do, isn’t it? All you do is think about yourself! I gotta smoke!”
