When People Are Too Lazy To Even Read Comic Books
(I used to work at a comic book store. One day, only my manager and I are working on an early morning. An excited customer comes in.)
Me: “Hello! How can I help you?”
Customer: “Hey, I just saw a [Superhero] poster outside! Do you have that movie?”
Me: “I’m sorry, we don’t sell any movies or DVDs. That’s actually a comic book series.”
Customer: “Is it good? Do you have it?”
Me: “It is awesome, actually. But unfortunately, we’re sold out. You’ll have to wait until the trade paperback comes in.”
Customer: “Okay, but when does the movie go out, then?”
Me: “That’s not a movie, sir.”
Customer: “So, you don’t have it on DVD?”
Me: *sighs* “No, sir.”
Customer: “But it will be? When will you have it?”
Me: “It is a comic book, sir. And I don’t think it’s going to be a movie. Ever.”
Customer: “So, it isn’t on DVD?”
(I’m trying to gather all the patience I’ve got.)
Me: “No, sir.”
Customer: *smiling* “Okay, I’ll come back later today to see if you’ve finally got the DVD!”
(Finally, he leaves and I turn to my manager.)
Me: “Please, let my shift be over for today.”
(He just laughed at me.)
