Righteousness And Hyprocisy, Sitting In A Tree
(I was ringing this customer’s order up and the entire order consisted of chicken, pork chops, t-bones, and rib eyes.)
Me: “Your total is going to be [over $200].”
Customer: “Now, before I pay you, I have to say something…”
Me: “Okay?”
Customer: “I know this has no reflection on you and you more than likely can’t do anything about it, but [Store] has no right to sell live animals.”
Me: “Okay.”
(I start chuckling a little. We only sell live goldfish as feeder fish for people’s piranhas and Oscars.)
Customer: “Well, what on earth can be so funny about me saying that?”
Me: “Weeelllll, you really had no problem buying the dead animals we sell.”
Customer: “As a charter member of PETA, I resent everything you just said to me. Not only does this store sell live animals, but it sells dead ones, too?”
Me: “Yes. We sell pork, chicken, beef, bison, and several different types of fish.”
Customer: “And you see no problem with this?!”
Me: “Well, you see, as a card-carrying member of the NRA, the only problem I can see is that they don’t also offer to cook it for me, too.”
(The customer stormed off without ever paying for their stuff. My manager wound up writing me up for being less than courteous.)
