Where Customers Never Tread

Our store sells home gyms and exercise equipment. A customer wanders over to me, red and sweaty.

Customer: “I came here to buy a treadmill, but none of them are working!”

Me: “That’s odd, I was doing a demonstration with one just this morning.”

I walk over to the treadmills with her and turn one on.

Customer: “Oh, wait… it… moved on its own?”

Me: “Uh… yes? You set the speed and elevation on these controls here.”

It was then I realised that she just stepped on all the treadmills without powering them on and was just… forcing that sucker to move through sheer force.
