I've mentioned before that I work in a convenience store in the bottom of a hotel. Pretty much all of our customers are staying at the hotel.
I should have seen this customer coming. She was in line behind a gentleman buying breakfast items, bacon, eggs, and the Sunday paper. I rang him through, and then nicely asked if he wanted a bag. "Hmm, no, I think I'm good," he says. The lady behind him then gives me a dirty look, then says, "How are you supposed to carry BACON without a bag?!?" The man calmly folded the newspaper around the bacon, looks at the lady like she's nuts, and says, "Um, I'm staying upstairs. I just take the elevator...." I should have known there would be trouble, oh I should have.
The man leaves, and the woman puts a single pastry on the counter. I ring her up, and she thrusts her money at me. So I put it in the register, and the receipt prints out, as it's apt to do after you put money in the register.
Me: Did you need the receipt?
Lady: No, I guess not, I mean it's not like I have a a BAG to put it in.
Me: *oblivious, throws away receipt* Uh huh, do you need a bag?
Lady: NO, I guess NOT. I don't need a BAG. I'll just have to CARRY this I guess! *storms away angrily, still ranting* Why should you give me a BAG? Do you know how absolutely RIDICULOUS I'll look carrying this around without a BAG?!?!??!
Um, yep, everyone is judging you, carrying around your pastry at breakfast time in a hotel
Seriously, why do people reject things they want just so they can complain? I bet ten dollars that someone mentions how yummy her pastry looks or something, and she takes it as an opportunity to complain about Mean Evil Store Clerks who Don't Give Out Bags.
