Working Retail Is A Scream

A customer approaches our customer service desk. I am typing something up on the computer, but I stop and turn to her and am about to speak when she suddenly lets out the most blood-curdling scream I have ever heard. It’s bellowing and loud, and she does it without changing the expression of her eyes, which is weird. She also never breaks eye contact with me.

After a few seconds of that, she clears her throat and then speaks perfectly normally.

Customer: “Now that I have your attention…” 

She had a simple request and then left without issue. I was too shocked (and scared) to question it.
