They Should Also Slice, Dice And Julienne Fries
Customer: “I am looking for some heels, in white. They also have to be dressy, like for a wedding…”
Me: “No problem… we have some over here.”
Customer: “But I need to be able to hike in them because it’s outdoors.”
Me: “Uhh, maybe if we looked over here…”
Customer: “It also has be open, kind of like a sandal.”
Me: “We have some nice hiking sandals…”
Customer: “But it has to be waterproof because it rains a lot where we are and I need something to keep the water out.”
Me: “This might be difficult.”
Customer: “Oh! And it has to be super comfortable, with excellent arch support.”
Me: “We’re kind of limited here…”
Customer: “And no backstraps, because I have plantar fasciitis and backstraps will just hurt all day.”
Me: “So you are looking for a white pair of waterproof hiking sandals with no backstrap, but with heels and excellent arch support?”
Customer: “You forgot comfortable.”
Me: “I am sorry, could you repeat that?”
Customer: “I said I needed them to be super comfortable.”
Me: “And you’re serious? Have you ever seen shoes like this anywhere else?”
Customer: “Well, I would think that’s your job.”
Me: “I thought so too, but then again I am not a magician.”
Customer: “That is very offensive! I demand to speak to your manager!”
(Naturally, the manager was called, who promptly proceeded to laugh her out of the store.)
