what's in a name

i was standing near a register and dealing with an associate problem when an older woman caught my attention.

crazy customer: YOU! SALES PERSON!!!

is she f**king serious? who would go into a restaurant and say- YOU WAITER! come be at my beck and call. . i'm no one's b***h. but it's not even so much what she said but how she said it with such a condescending tone that implies that being a sales person is something lowly . . . my blood was boiling.

v: yes ma'am, i'll be with you in a minute. k can help ring you up. do you have a question?

k was busy ringing up another customer, but crazy customer obviously didn't want to wait.

crazy customer: can you help ring us up?

ahh. . she's obviously so important that she doesn't have to wait in line like anyone else.

crazy customer's daughter: MOM!!! can't you see she's busy?

crazy customer: what! she asked me a question. i'm not crazy.

hmmm
