Some People Have Never Had A Real Problem And It Shows

I’m ringing up a woman with a very large order. By the time I’m done, the next woman says nothing to me.

Me: “Hi, thank you for waiting! How are you today?”

Customer: “You know the old saying? If you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all?”

Me: “Yikes. Bad day?”

Customer: “Well, I didn’t want to be waiting in line for a million years!”

Me: “I’m sorry, but that was a big order. It couldn’t be helped.”

Customer: “Good thing I can’t hear you behind that mask of yours, because I’m sure you’re being as rude as the last guy.”

I say nothing to her for the rest of the transaction. 

Me: *Rings her up* “Okay, have a day that’s as nice as you are.”

Sometimes I wish my life was that privileged, to the point where waiting for five minutes like all the common folk puts you in a huffy snit.
