When The Customer Was Raised In A Sewer

A guy comes in looking for a water pump.

Customer: “I need a sewage pump.”

Me: “We only carry pumps for dirty water, not sewage.”

He immediately gets angry.

Customer: “So you’re not helping me at ALL?!”

Wow, that escalated.

Me: “You can buy one, but you’d lose the warranty. The store can’t be held liable if it fails.”

Customer: “You got an attitude!”

I try again.

Me: “Okay… what’s the head height? And the length of the pipe you’re running?”

Customer: *Vaguely points.* “From here to there.”

Me: “…Right.”

I gave up and called a supervisor to help him decide. Three minutes in, and I heard the supervisor shouting.
