Unable To Please You
Grocery Store | Right
| January 30, 2016
(I am a cashier. Two customers approach the counter; one of them has an item of fruit.)
Customer #1: “Is this [price #1]?”
Me: “No, sir, it’s [price #2].”
Customer #2: *in a stern tone* “Please.”
Me: “…sorry?”
Customer #1: “So you should be. You say please when you tell me the price.”
Me: “It’s [price #2]… please?”
Customer #2: “That’s better.” *to Customer #1* “Don’t they teach people manners these days?”
(They put down the fruit and walk off.)
Me: “But… I… I was answering a question.”
