He Rushed Me—So I Took My Time
Toy store. Christmas Eve. Long lines, cranky kids, last-minute panic buys. The usual.
This guy—loud, smug, pushing through the line like everyone else was wasting his time. Complained about the crying baby ahead of him, the woman behind him, the lack of “good” toys left. Settled on a pricey RC car and sulked his way to my register.
Then he handed me his card and said, “Hurry up.”
So I did. Scanned that car three times.
Handed him the receipt, smiled, and then—oops. “Sorry sir, looks like the scanner double-tapped. Maybe even triple. You’ll need to go to the service desk.”
He stared. I pointed to a long, miserable return line. I smiled again.
As he stomped away, the woman behind him leaned in and said, “I feel like you did that on purpose.”
I just said, “Only a terrible person would do such a thing.”
She nodded. “We need more terrible people like you.”
