How Do I Put This Deli-cately, Part 5
I’m a customer deciding on what to get at a supermarket delicatessen. A worker has already approached me asking if she could help and I told her I still needed some time deciding. Another customer storms up to counter.
Customer: “HELLO?! Excuse me!” *Mumbles something*
Deli Worker: “Sorry, what was that, ma’am?”
Customer: *Very loudly* “Where are the delicatessen premade salads?! I have been looking everywhere for them!”
The deli worker is a tad stunned and points down in front of herself and the customer.
Deli Worker: “They are right here, ma’am.”
The customer turns red and begins to stutter.
Customer: “Oh, they are right here!”
The customer calls over her friend. They order some salads, and as they do, the customer is telling her friend very quietly how the deli worker was trying to embarrass her about the salads being in front of her.
Customer: *Places cash on the counter* “Here! Where the heck is my bag for these?!”
Deli Worker: “Ma’am, you pay up at the checkouts and you can get a bag up there if you like.”
The customer went red-faced and scurried away with her friend.
