Seizing Any Opportunity To Complain

A customer came up to me at a customer service counter and told me:

Customer: “I think a customer is having a seizure at the front of the store.”

I thanked her, ran over to him, saw that he was already bleeding a bit from his lip, and sat on the floor with him. I turned his head slightly, made sure he wasn’t going to choke or hit anything else around him, and then just hung out on the floor with him, timing his seizure with my watch like you’re supposed to do.

Just as this poor guy’s starting to come to, I hear a woman clear her throat above me. I look up, and it’s the same woman who came and told me about the seizure in the first place.

Customer: “Are you going to be able to help me soon? I really have to leave, and I didn’t think this was going to take this long.”

The entire ordeal (from me being told to the paramedics, my manager had called, arriving to take care of him instead of me) took four minutes.
