The Customer Service Is Baloney
(Sometimes we get customers who don’t realise that we have so many variations of different meats. This happens on a day when my coworker is tired and on her last nerve, and is therefore being rather unhelpful.)
Customer: “I’d like some of that one, please.”
Coworker: “Which one?”
Customer: “The salami.”
Coworker: “Which one?”
Customer: “The mild.”
Coworker: “Which one?”
Customer: *irked* “The Hungarian.”
Coworker: “Which one?”
Customer: “Gah! The one that isn’t free range!”
Coworker: *smiles brightly* “Coming right up, sir!”
(The customer looked about ready to smash his head onto the counter. Occasionally when I order something from this coworker I’ll repeat the above conversation just for a laugh. For some reason she never finds it funny.)
