Monday night a guy came in to my 2nd job (truck parts monkey) and asked for a trailer light. We didn't have it in stock so we ordered it for him. Coworker, Ron, tells him it will be in Tuesday at 4:30 PM. Guy makes a comment about knowing we get the order in at 3:30 sometimes, Ron says, yeah but 4:30-4:45 is the norm.
So Tuesday I get to work at 4:15, and I'm talking to my manager Jon at the front counter when the customer walks in. He interrupts us to ask about his light. This is the conversation that ensued.
SC: You got my light?
Jon: Wow, you guys (meaning me and SC) look like you could be brothers.
We both kind of laugh (I didn't really see a resemblence personally)
Jon: Are you?
Me: No, I don't have any brothers
SC: And I'm an only child. Besides, I'm not that ugly.
OK, seriously, what? I don't know if he was trying to be funny or what. But even though he's been in there enough for Marcy & Steve to know him, Monday was the first he met me.
Well he certainly didn't redeem himself any.
Ron: Hey man, the order's still not here.
SC: What, oh man when will it get here?
Jon: Should be in a few minutes.
SC: How long is a few minutes? Cause I came in at 2 and I've been driving around wasting time, and this town's not big enough to waste time in.
Jon: Let me call the driver.
Driver ends up showing up at 4:40, guy gets his light and leaves. But dude? First you insult me for no reason, then I find out you showed up at 2 when you were specifically told 4:30 or later? Did you think it was going to majically fly out of my ass?
(Names have been changed to protect no one, I just like these names better)
