(I was working part-time in my dad’s shop when a customer came in with a blue Kia Pride.)
Me: “Good afternoon, ma’am. How can I help you?”
Customer: “My car don’t work.”
Me: “OK, ma’am. What seems to be the problem?”
Customer: “It don’t work.”
Me: “Um, could you specify, ma’am?”
Customer: “I just told you, it don’t work.”
Me: “Uh, OK…let me just take a look to see what the problem is.”
Customer: “No!!”
Me: “Huh? Why?!”
Customer: “Nobody goes into my property, and my car is my property!!”
Me: “But I have to see your car to know what the problem is, ma’am.”
Customer: “I just told you! It don’t work!”
Me: “…”
(Turns out, she just ran out of gas.)
************
Customer: “I just locked my key in my car in front of the shop.”
Me: (I pick up some stuff) “Not a problem, I’ll pop it open for $5.00.”
Customer: “What are you going to do with that stuff?”
Me: “Open your car.”
Customer: “It’s a brand new Mercedes. I just drove it here from the dealer–you can’t touch it!”
Me: “Then how do I open it?”
Customer: “That’s your problem.”
Me: “Actually it’s not; I didn’t lock the key in your car.”
Customer: “You have to open it.”
Me: “Watch me not open it.”
Customer: “OK then, but if you make any scratch or mark at all then you will have to pay Mercedes to repaint the whole car. That will cost thousands.”
Me: “So If I’m successful I get $5.00, but if I make the smallest error it will cost me thousands of dollars?”
Customer: “Yes.”
Me: “Your car might just be there forever.”
