Slow To Realize
(I have mild arthritis in my left leg, so I walk slowly. I am bringing out some shoe boxes for a customer, and the rows are quite narrow, so a different customer is stuck walking behind me.)
Customer: *under his breath* “Man, can you walk any slower?”
Me: “Actually, I can! I have arthritis, buddy. It is painful for me to even walk!”
(The customer looks admonished and turns bright red.)
Me: “Don’t judge people by their cover!”
(The customer apologized. He ended up buying around $200 worth of shoes and told the cashier I helped him so I would get a commission.)
