What is it about the holidays that brings out the worst in people?
Customer # 1
Customer: "Where are your noodles like these?" (points to asian salad)
Me: "Right this way..."
Customer: (something mostly inaudible)
Me: "Sorry, come again?"
Customer: "EXCUSE me, I was talking to you. (swomething about me being rude)"
Me: "Yes, ma'am, I realize that. I didn't hear you. That's why I asked what you said."
(her cell phone rings)
Customer: (answers cell phone)
Me: "They're right here." (point and walk away)
Customer # 2
(My portable phone rings)
Me: "This is Hillary in Grocery, how can I help you?"
Customer: "Grocery?"
Me: "Yes, ma'am. How can I help you?"
Customer: "I asked for floral."
Me: "Floral?"
Customer: "FLOWERS. Are you all total idiots?! Why am I talking to someone in the grocery department?"
Me: "No, ma'am, we're not all idiots. I was just making sure I heard you right. Let me transfer you to the right department."
Customer: (annoyed) "Just make sure you do it right."
Me: "Of course..."
(transfer call)
Really. What the hell?
It's a few days before Christmas, so you have to be a total ass to everyone you see?
On a side note, Happy holidays, y'all.
Be nice, damn it!
