We've recently acquired a gaggle of teenage boys from a nearby high school who come in and heckle the employees by asking a lot of questions about games that don't exist. Grand Theft Auto VI is their favorite- I pointed out that they wouldn't be allowed to buy it even if it existed- but they just cycle through fake sequel titles until they get bored and leave. Today, while they were doing their thing, a Real Customer came in and was shopping around.
"THIS IS TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE," one of the teenage bros shouted.
"You're not customers," I said.
"WE ARE TOO CUSTOMERS!"
"Customers buy things."
"WELL, I WAS GOING TO BUY SOMETHING, BUT NOW I'M OFFENDED SO I WON'T."
As they were huffing about in fake offense, the Real Customer picked out a game and came up to the register. He spoke quietly so the bros wouldn't hear him.
"I'm a high school teacher," he said sympathetically. "I know what it's like to get harassed on the job."
Thanks, guy! It's always good to have a reminder that the public isn't all bad.
