Customer: “I bought ten fish and they all DIED. The customer service desk said you would get me new ones. Here’s my receipt.”
Me: “It looks like you had ten feeder goldfish?”
Customer: “Yes, and they all DIED. I want new ones.”
Me: “That’s unusual. Goldfish are pretty hardy. Did they have any little white spots, or anything like that before they died?”
Customer: “No, I went to feed them and they were all dead in the bowl!”
Me: Wait…you had ten goldfish in a bowl? What size?”
Customer: “Like this!” *points to a small bowl on the shelf*
Me: “Ma’am, that bowl only holds a gallon of water. The general rule for fish is ‘a gallon of water per inch of fish’. So for these goldfish at the size they’re now, you would need a tank larger then ten gallons to accommodate them.”
Customer: “I want them in a bowl! Maybe I’ll get smaller fish. How much are these?” *pointing*
Me: “Those are fancy guppies; they’re two dollars.”
Customer: “EACH?”
Me: “Yes.”
Customer: “What about those?
Me: “Those are angelfish; they’re four dollars.”
Customer: “EACH?”
Me: “Yes.”
Customer: “Just give me the ten fish to replace my other ones! Those are only 39 cents each!”
Me: “Fine…but if you put them all in the same bowl, they’re all going to die again, and I don’t want to hear about it when they do!”
Customer: *pause* “Get me my fish!”
(She got her new fish. No idea what the death toll was.)
I work at a convenience store. I am nineteen years old, and have been working there since I was eighteen. My boss has a very high turnover rate. This store has been open for two years, and it has seen more than 12 employees walk out the door and never return. at least 9 of them left unpleasant notes or had huge fights with the store owner (Amir.) One of them even had to get taken away by the cops, because he’d made death threats and refused to leave the building.
