    Coworker Drops a Clanger

    This happened a long time ago, and the guy who did it died recently, rip.

    I was working in a shop and I had a really sucky customer shouting at me for some reason I was trying to calm her down.

    Suddenly the attention of both myself and the sucky customer were caught by a small movement in the tiny narrow strip of metal running down the side of the area we were standing by.

    Unfortunately it wasn't so narrow that we didn't both clearly see this coworker looking towards us and putting an imaginary gun to his head, beleiving we couldn't see him and not realising he was reflected.

    Sucky customer stormed out shouting she would put in a complaint to management. I don't remember if she did.
    Customer "why did you answer the phone if you can't help me?"

    and realized I've thought that more than once about customers shouting.



    I can't quite exactly picture what happened in the story, but I'm sorry to hear that someone died.
    Each one of us has a special place just like the Evergreen Forest. Enchanting, sparkling, and perfect. And, like the flowers that bloom there... fragile.

      Indeed, RIP.

      ME, I think what happened is that the CW was joking around, making a "gun" motion as in "I'd like to shoot this SC for being an asshole", but was in a location where he THOUGHT he could not be seen...He was, instead, reflected such that TA and the SC could see him clearly.

        I do believe said co-worker was making a "just shoot me now" pantomime aboiut the customer being unreasonable.
