Keep A Watchful Eye On That One
BIZARRE, PENNSYLVANIA, PHARMACY, TIME, USA | RIGHT | JUNE 22, 2017
Customer: “Hi, I was in here earlier and I left my watch here. I called corporate, and they said I could just come back and get a new one.”
Me: “What?”
Customer: “I was in sometime between 5 and 5:30 today when I left my watch.”
(This is taking place at 1:30 pm.)
Me: “We… wouldn’t have been open.”
Customer: “I have to track everywhere I go for my work. I can show you.”
(Customer begins pulling something up on her phone.)
Me: “This store opens at 8:00 am.”
Customer: “Okay, it was at 3:30 pm that I was in.”
Me: “…Today?”
Customer: “Yes.”
Me: “It’s 1:30; it hasn’t been 3:30 yet.”
Customer: “Is there a manager I could talk to about this?”
(While I call for the manager, she continues to talk.)
Customer: “Look, I know that you try your hardest, but I think it would be better if I talked this over with a manager.”
(After I hang up the phone, she gestures to the back of the store.)
Customer: “I’ll just take care of it meanwhile. Are they back there?”
Me: “No, that’s our pharmacy. The manager will be up here soon—”
Customer: “No, I mean your watches.”
Me: “We… don’t sell watches.”
Customer: “I can show you that I got it here. I have the bag in my car.”
(The customer walks out of the store just as my manager reaches the front.)
Manager: “Did you still need me?”
Me: “I’m really not sure…”
(If she ever returned, it wasn’t before the end of my shift a half hour later, so I can only guess at what she was talking about!)
