What More Can We Do?!

I’m at my till one day with the light red, a closed sign on prominent display, and my gate shut.

Suddenly, a customer tries to force the gate.

Me: “Sorry, but this till is closed!”

Customer: “You’re standing there at the till, so you must still be serving!”

Me: “Nope, definitely closed.”

The fact that this customer had to bypass two actually open and empty tills to get to me was just the icing on the cake.
