Saving For Savings

(A customer approaches me as I am trying to leave the store after my shift.)

Customer: “Excuse me, my son has saved over one thousand, two hundred dollars at this store. What does he get?”

Me: “I’m sorry?”

Customer: “Don’t you have some kind of rewards program for someone who’s saved that much?”

Me: “In the past, we’ve done some giveaways, but at the moment, I’m afraid we’re not running any long-term programs like that.”

Customer: *annoyed* “So he’s saved over twelve hundred dollars here and he doesn’t get anything?”

Me: “Well, there’s that twelve hundred dollars…”

(There’s a silence as she just stares at me.)

Customer: “You should really take better care of your customers.” *walks away*
