Pay It No Mind-Reading
(I used to manage a high-end fashion store. There are many branches across the UK. A customer approaches me, one who I have had no previous communication with.)
Customer: *holds up non-descript ladies top* “Is this the one my friend saw and liked at [Other Store in Nearby City]?”
Me: *attempting to use psychic ability* “I couldn’t possibly know. What did she say it looked like?”
Customer: “She didn’t. Just that she saw a top she liked in your store.”
Me: “I really can’t help you. You will have to ask your friend.”
Customer: *walks away deflated*
(I wondered if all retail workers are meant to have supernatural abilities, or whether she thought it was just me?)
Question of the Week
Have you ever served a bad customer who got what they deserved?
