Thou Shalt Always Have Free Cheesecake
(I work in the bakery of a grocery store chain. We sell our own cheesecake and the cheesecake of a very well known “factory”. We have full cakes of both brands but only sell slices in the name brand variety.)
Customer: *walks up to counter* “Do you have any chocolate eclairs today?”
Me: “No. I’m sorry, not today.”
Customer: “Okay.” *looks around for a little bit* “Your cheesecake slices are seven dollars?!”
Me: “Yes, ma’am. They are from [Popular Factory].”
Customer: “Oh, okay. Well… that’d use up all my money… Wanna give me a discount?”
Me: “I can’t, I’m sorry.”
Customer: “But… I really want the cheesecake!”
Me: “I’m not allowed to give any discounts, but I can call over my supervisor. He can—”
Customer: “I just want cheesecake!”
Me: “Want me to call him over?”
Customer: “No, just give me the cheesecake for free!”
Me: “I can’t, but my supervisor might be able to do something for you.”
Customer: “You are so un-Christian!” *stomps off*
