This Complaint Needs A Last Will And Old Testament
While not practicing, I have Jewish heritage and have a small Star Of David tattoo on the inside of my wrist to celebrate my family culture as well as hide a birthmark. I am checking out a customer when she spots the tattoo.
Customer: “Oh, you’re Jewish. I’d rather be served by a Christian, thank you.”
Me: “Well, it’s just me for now, ma’am. I’ll try not to Jew up any of your purchases.”
Customer: “What did you just say?! Get me your manager! I will have you fired!”
Me: “I am the manager on duty today, ma’am.”
Customer: “I will not be treated like this by a… by a non-Christian!”
Me: “’For the Lord sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.’”
Customer: “What?!”
Me: “Old Testament, ma’am. Basically, don’t judge a book by its cover. I converted to Christianity a few years ago, not that I would expect you to know what a good Christian looks like.”
The customer glares for a moment before leaving her basket and simply walking away. Later that night, our store manager (who actually is Jewish) calls and mentions he got a complaint from her. I tell him my side of the story.
Store Manager: “Ha! That’s great. I’ll just tell corporate you literally went Biblical on her a**.”
