customer
Yeah? Show me the money!

Last Friday night I sat off and made glow stick jewelry with another member of staff, and wore a flat cap for some time, as well as opening a poker game, and a bingo roller, and a make your own farm animals kit...ok, we did a lot of stuff we shouldn’t have been doing.
But while we were pretending to work we were approached by a foreign guy who wanted to know the specifications of some wind up head torch, something we knew nothing about. He wanted to open it but it was in heat sealed plastic packaging so we said he couldn’t if he wasn’t going to buy it. My colleague also said to him that if we let every customer open anything they wanted, we wouldn’t make any money, lose our jobs and end up poor, to which he replied: “Yeah, show me a poor person in England.”
I nearly wet myself. He was cool though, he wasn’t uptight or anything, and he didn’t buy the torch. I’m still laughing now.
