Suction Dysfunction
A customer comes back inside after pumping their gas.
Customer: “My discount didn’t come up!”
Me: “When you paid at the pump, sir, before you started pumping gas, it asked you if you wanted to use a discount. If you don’t use it, it saves it for later.”
Customer: “I don’t want to use it for later! I want to use it for now!”
Me: “I’m afraid that there’s nothing I can do for you now after you pumped all your gas.”
Customer: “Can we take it all back out and have a redo?”
Me: “No… sir. We don’t have those facilities here.”
Customer: “But it’s a pump, ain’t it? Just flick the switch from pump to suck!”
Amazingly, I was able to convince him to give his discount a whirl for next time.
