The Ghost Of Christmas Freebies
(At the cash till beside me I hear this exchange.)
Customer #1: “You should be giving out candy canes.”
Coworker: “Pardon me?”
Customer #1: “It’s Christmas; you should be in the Christmas spirit! I want to know why you aren’t handing out candy!”
Coworker: “Well, it’s very busy today and we’re understaffed. If we were to take someone off of cash, people would have to wait far too long to purchase their books.”
Customer #1: “I don’t want to hear your excuses! Let me talk to your manager.”
Coworker: “He’s right there, two tills down.”
(My coworker takes the next person in line.)
Customer #2: “What was she complaining about?”
Coworker: “She was complaining that she wasn’t getting any free candy.”
Customer #2: *jokingly* “In that case, can I have a free puppy?”
