A Sure Sign That It’s Going To Be That Kind Of Day
I work as an associate at a shoe store that’s going out of business. Every shoe is discounted at a different percentage depending on the type. I wrote the signs myself so I know what they say and which shoes go with each percentage.
Customer: “Um, these are supposed to be 75% off.”
Me: “Sorry, ma’am, but only heels are 75% off.”
Customer: “No, these shoes were under the 75% off sign.”
Me: “I’m sure, but there are other signs above it, too. Each sign tells you which sale applies to which type of shoe.”
Customer: “No! It doesn’t say anything like that! Let me show you.”
I go over to the sign with her and it says exactly what I said it did.
Me: “See, ma’am, it says it right here.”
Customer: “Oh… Well, no one is going to read that, hun.”
