Pretty Bad Service

(I am organizing stock in the front of the store. A coworker is idling by the front desk, clearly wearing her work-vest and nametag.)

Customer: *approaching my coworker* “Excuse me, do you work here?”

Coworker: “No, I’m just here to look pretty.”

(My coworker promptly walked away to another section of the store, far away and out of view. I stared after her for a few seconds before approaching the customer to offer help. The customer didn’t seem phased at all, and seemed to believe her!)
