  • I know how I would have *liked* to respond ...


    This happened while I was checking out a customer.

    Customer: "May I ask you a personal question?"

    Me: "Um ... maybe ...?"

    Customer: "Were you raised a Catholic?"

    Me: "Well, yes, in fact I was."
    *wondering if I've suddenly broken out in stigmata or something*

    Customer: "What's the most commonly-used phrase in the bible?"

    Me: "SIR, DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW LONG AGO THAT WAS?!?"

    So I took a stab at it and of course got it completely wrong.

    Customer: "The most commonly-used phrase is 'Be not afraid.'"

    Me: "?!???"

    Customer: *points to his own face*

    Ah ... and then I got it. Because, you see, I was wearing a mask.

    Me: "Sir, I woke up with a cough this morning. I didn't think customers would appreciate me coughing my germs all over their children and their food."

    Customer: *blinks* "Oh, um, I see."
    *takes his groceries and leaves*

    I'm sure you do, you absolute spam sandwich.

    ***************

    I would have LIKED to remove my mask and then cough all over his purchases and THEN explain why I was wearing one. But I haven't yet won a lottery and can't afford to be fired.

            There are few things that annoy me more then misapplication of scripture and that's the furthest I'm going to go into that territory. I just don't understand being offended by what somebody else is wearing on their own face. These people have not changed in 4 years. I'm glad you told him that you had illness symptoms. That just shuts it right down and I really appreciate your wanting to keep others from getting sick. He really should take a lesson from you.
