An hour before closing, we lost power at our store after a transformer blew out next door. After. escorting customers out of the building, we locked the door and waited for our store manager to come up and help close the store manually. (damn computers)
While we wait, let me answer all your customer questions in regards to the situation.
No, we did not close an hour early to pissed you off on purpose.
No, we can't let you inside to grab 'one quick thang.'
No, I don't know how much the mothballs are with tax.
No, bribing me with an extra two dollars will not get you into the store so you can buy.... What?.... You want to buy potatoes?? You're a regular!! You know we don't sell produce!!
No, we are not being lazy or unhelpful or rude or whatever. Bye.
No, you cannot give me five bucks to run inside and grab you cigarettes!
No, you cannot attempt to steal bags of ice from the outside ice cooler in front of me. It's not THAT dark, dumbass.
No, nothing in the store is free because of the inconvenience we caused you.
No, Satan did not turn out the lights and no, I will not baptise you with bottled water.
No, I'm not giving you a discount for your 'troubles.'
No, I do not know when the electricity will be back and no, I do not know the 'electric peoples' phone number.
No, I'm not accepting checks at this moment. No, I can't accept your credit card either. No EBT or debit cards or ID cards or gift cards either.
No, you cannot, for the FINAL time, go into the store for ANY reason. Now quit whining and leave the parking lot so I can go home.
