Overpriced And Overpronounced

Customer: “I am looking for my sunglasses. I left them on the counter here earlier.”

I look in the drawer where we usually stash lost items. There are several sunglasses. I show her.

Customer: “No! Mine are much nicer than those!”

I check with my coworkers, nope, no sunglasses turned in.

Me: “I’m sorry, not finding any other sunglasses right now. I can take your name and number in case anyone turns them in.”

Customer: *Scoffs.* “I doubt anyone would turn them in, they are very beautiful!”

She points to the register counter:

Customer: “I’m sure I left them right here. I took them out when I got my wallet to pay… the cashier must have seen them! They are Giorgio Armani!”

She overpronounced it ‘jheeorrgeeoo arrrrmahhhni’.

Customer: “I paid $600 for them!”

She glared at me pointedly.

Me: “Well, all I can do is keep an eye out for them and take your name and number.”

She grudgingly gave me her info, once more informing that they were “Jheeorrgeeoo Arrmhahhnee” sunglasses.

I encouraged her to retrace her steps in case they were in the store somewhere, but she turned on her heel and flounced away. I’m sure she was convinced the cashier must have stolen her “very beautiful” sunglasses.

I don’t know, maybe if you have $600 sunglasses, be more careful with them?
