Welcome to My World

I used to work in a high street shoe shop. It had a kids department and one day the management decided to see how I’d handle customer complaints. Long story short, I was the supervisor in the kids dept. for a day.

A woman came in with her 2 toddlers and a relatively new-born child. After dragging a staff-member out from the stockroom to fit the shoes. After a little while, the woman checks her watch and and catches my eye

“Excuse me? Would it be okay if I feed Joey here?”. She emphasised the ‘feed’ so I had an idea of what she meant. I asked her how she would mean to do it and she smiled and grabbed a large, wide-weave poncho from her bag. She told me that she drapes it over herself to allow her son to feed from inside. I saw no problem with it and held Joey whilst she arranged herself (Little fella didn’t like me much).

She carries on with her business with Joey feeding under the poncho. Another woman comes downstairs and I greet her as usual. She rounds the corner and as soon as she claps eyes on the breast-feeding scenario, she turned to me and started yelling.

“You can’t let her do that here!”

“And why not madam? It’s only natural” I felt like flying off the handle but I kept cool

“What if the blanket was to fall off? She’d be exposing her breast to everyone in the room!”

“Madam, as much as I could argue about this with you the whole day, if you continue to make a fuss about it, I will have to ask you to leave.”

“I’ll be back with my husband! He wont like this!”. She stormed off back up the stairs, the manager comes down after hearing the shouting. I explained to him what had happened and he said that he will handle the complaint if there was one. I was in the right.

Shouty customer comes back later (The other woman left a few minutes after the ordeal) with husband in tow. Wife points in my direction and the husband walks over to me

“You the one who made my wife leave?”

I’m currently scared out of my wits because the man is 6’3” and built like Thor but I manage an answer. “Yes I am but I had good reason”

He then said “I know” and shook my hand and left. His wife spluttered as she tried to ask him what just happened and he turned around to her and said “for once in your life you’ve left a shoe shop without buying anything. If I can’t shake the hand of the man who did that, I don’t know what I can do”

That concludes story time with George

I like story time with George.

George is the best story-teller. 

Bless you George

Please don’t remove the artist’s caption/comment when you reblog a drawing/comic/etc.

I obviously can’t speak for everyone, but in my case the caption is often an addition to the joke, and if you take it away, you take away a part of my comic.

Despite my chipper inner thoughts, I’m not a naturally upbeat and happy-seeming person. I’m aware of this. (For god’s sake, I’ve been fired for it.) So, whenever I have to interact with other people, I use a whole goddamned bunch of forced smiles and exclamation points to try to convey that internal joy. That way, they can know how genuinely freaking excited I am to be interacting with them.

I like to believe that it’s all completely believable, though I can’t help but sense that it comes across a little something like this.

exactly describes how I come across to customers at my job

Airports see more sincere kisses than wedding halls. The walls of hospitals have heard more prayers than the walls of churches.

don’t be a dick

wilwheaton:

If a big part of your enjoyment of a thing on TV or movies is nitpicking it to death, that’s cool.

… but shitting all over the people who enjoyed the same thing without nitpicking it to death is really not cool.
