Customer: “Fine! Whatever, you guys are f****** terrible salespeople.”
I give her the two tickets and have her sign for her card payment. There is usually always a pen on the counter.
Customer: “Um, I need a pen to sign for this! You must be their f****** star employee here! I bet you get employee of the month all the d*** time!”
Me: “Yes, I do! Thank you for appreciating my hard work!”
The customer scoffs and leaves.
Coworker: “What was up with her? She was so nice when I helped her.”
Me: “…”
