Salty Tears of...relief?
I accidentally (I swear) made a customer cry. She was standing behind a current customer and she looked up at me only to screech "OH MY GOD!"
I thought I was in deep shit until I hear...
"YOU'RE BACK!! YAY!!!"
Then she breaks down weeping, saying over and over how glad she was to see me again. She was the SM for a vitamin store a couple doors down who took over a couple months before I left. She was REALLY happy to see me, apparently.
New Property Manager
A woman comes in while I'm helping an elder man check out, bid him a good day, and ask her if I can help her.
RW: Me
Woman: Her
ASM S: Assistant Store Manager S
RW: Hi, can I help you?
Woman: Wow, you were so polite to him!
RW: (...uh....) ...thank you, is there a way I can help you?
Woman: Is there a Manager around?
RW: (Crap oh crap oh crap) Sure, today's Manager is S, hang on and I'll go get her. (Goes to get S) S, there's a lady who wants to talk to you.
ASM S: (Gets this look on her face like "What Did You Do THIS Time?" and greets the lady) I'm the Manager today, can I help you?
Woman: Your cashier was just so nice to that gentleman! (Goes on and on and ON)
It turns out the Woman is the new Property Manager for the Complex and was giving all the Store Managers her card and contact numbers.
