Customer: “Hey, you!”
Me: “How can I help you, ma’am?”
Customer: “These bears are extremely boring. I paid money to see the animals move around.”
Me: “It’s very hot today, ma’am. Bears don’t like to move around much on hot days, and they sleep at least sixteen hours out of the day anyway.”
Customer: “I don’t care if it’s hot outside. Why won’t they do anything?”
Me: “Ma’am, the bears are not required to move around for your entertainment.”
Customer: “Well, they should be!”
Me: “They’re wild animals, ma’am. If they don’t want to move around, they don’t have to.”
Customer: “I want to see your superior! Maybe he will understand!”
Manager: “What seems to be the problem here?”
Customer: “These bears are boring!”
Manager: *tells her what I said about hot days*
Customer: “Go poke them or something. Make them move!”

Customer: “Yes! Just make them do something!”
