The Unfantastic Mr. Fox
(A man comes up to me with a huge bag.)
Customer: “Can I ask an odd question?”
Me: “Go for it.”
Customer: “Would it be okay for me to put my fox costume on and stand in the foyer?”
Me: “Why?”
Customer: “Just for pleasure. I enjoy doing it and the customers would enjoy seeing it.”
Me: “I’ll just check with my manager.”
(I phone the manager and repeat the request. The manager laughs for a few minutes and says no.)
Me: “I’m afraid my manager has said it’s not okay.”
Customer: *looks down sadly* “It’s okay. They said no everywhere else I asked too.” *walks away sadly, dragging the bag with his fox costume in*
