Take It Or “Leave” It
I’m standing in line waiting to purchase some wood-filler. The customer in front of me is complaining.
Customer: “People won’t wait in lines this long. This will be the undoing of this company.”
Staff: “Sorry, sir, we are going as fast as we can.”
Customer: “People will not wait this long.”
Me: “Well, you’re waiting, aren’t you?”
Customer: “Am I?”
Me: “Well, yes, you are, since you’re still in the queue.”
Customer: “Oh, well, I’ll leave! See how long this company lasts!”
The customer slams a pack of easy-stick hooks on the counter and walks out.
Me: “One less person to wait for.”
The staff then thanked me, as he had apparently been harassing them for quite some time.
