Can I have my Meringues Please?
Today at Trader Joes was truly a site to remember. I've always dreamed of something like this happening, and I admit I feared it too, but overall I'm glad it happened. Mostly because I can now tell EEEEEEEEEEEVVVVVVERRRRRRYONEEEEEEEEEEEE.
A little background: There's this woman named Carol who always comes into Trader Joes and talks to the employees up to half an hour after we've closed. It seems like she tries to come in right before 9 so she can have the entire store to herself. I've only heard stories about this woman, but today I was apart of one.
I was standing up at the front of the store when I see her standing in front of me I ask her "May I help you?", trying to be the polite person I am. "Are there any meringues back there" she snaps back. I look around for a second and don't see any, I assumed she had them on hold so I told her to wait one second while I went on my magical mystery tour to find this lady's meringues.
I go back to the back and just look around for about 5 minutes until I realize they're definitely not there. I didn't want to make her think that I forgot about her so I went back up to the front to tell her I was still looking when I saw her talking with one of my managers with 5 boxes of meringues in her hands.
"Oh, did you find them?", I asked her. She looked a tiny bit annoyed, but I figured she would just say she found them and give the obligatory thanks anyways. Boy howdy was I wrong! "Yes I found them, no thanks to your idiocy" she said.
What?
Now most would expect me to come back with some witty sort of comment, maybe the classic I know what you are, but what am I? Or maybe even takes one to know one. But I was giving all my effort into holding myself back from laughing out loud, or lol'ing if you will. Her back was turned though so me and my manager just looked each other and gave this look like "OH GOD THIS IS SO FUNNY BECAUSE SHE IS SO RUDE"
But really, what is wrong with the world? So unnecessary, but at the same time so funny. I told her that I tried and just left.
I wish things like this happened to me more often...oh well.
