You’re Just Spin-Cycling Your Wheels
(I work at a gas station with a carwash. A customer comes in and pushes his way to the front of the line. He is holding a shirt that is dripping wet.)
Customer: “Your car wash sucks!”
Me: “Sorry to hear that. What seems to be the problem?”
Customer: “I just bought a car wash and it didn’t clean anything! There is still a giant stain on it.”
Me: “There is a giant stain on your car, sir?”
Customer: “I don’t drive a car! I drive a truck, and the stain is on my shirt, you idiot!”
(He holds up his shirt to show me a nice brown stain in the middle of his white shirt. I look at him confused for a few seconds until I look outside and see two men pulling clothes out from the back of a bright blue truck.)
Me: “Sir, did you try and wash your clothes in our car wash?”
Customer: “No, I am just standing here with a wet shirt for fun. I want a refund. It didn’t clean my shirt!”
Me: “Sorry, this isn’t a laundromat, sir. I’m sorry. There is nothing I can do.”
Customer: “I bought a luxury car wash and it didn’t clean s***! I want my f***ing money back!”
Me: “We only give refunds on vehicles that haven’t been cleaned, sir.”
(The customer yells a few choice words, threatens to call the head office, and leaves. To date, I have not heard from the head office.)
