If you've never stumbled across (The Customer Is) Not Always Right , I would highly recommend checking out some random posts there. Especially if you haveworked inkind of customer service. This one was too good not to share here.“That will be 17.50, please.”“Are you a Christian, dear?”“Why do you ask?”“Are you?”“Well, no. Why do you want to know?”“Oh. I would like to be helped by someone else, please.”“Good morning ma’am, I hear you’ve been having a problem with the clerk?”“Oh, she didn’t make any trouble, it’s just that I don’t want my money to be handled by someone not of the faith. You should be careful, she’ll probably nick from the till when you’re not looking.”“You’re right, ma’am, I shall definitely have to reprimand her.”*surprised* “What for?”“For failing to notice that the lady was not planning on paying for the three Mars bars and the map of Europe she must have put in her bag while you were fetching me.”“Good heavens! I must’ve been so distracted I didn’t even notice the devil putting them there!”
