Yet Still They Come
(Due to a power outage we had to close our store. The lights were all out and there were 2 large green bristol board signs displaying “CLOSED, NO POWER, SORRY”. A woman walks up, walks through the entryway, and tries the door to the store proper, which is locked. She then turns around goes to the exit door, pulls it open, and walks in. I stop her.)
Me: “I’m sorry, ma’am, there is a power outage. We’re closed.”
Woman: “Does that mean I can come in?”
Me: “No. ‘Closed’ means you can’t come in.”
Woman: “Then how come THEY’RE allowed in?” *points to people behind cash registers all wearing store aprons*
Me: “Uh… they work here.”
Woman: *leaves angrily*
