Pet peeve

[Belari]

Not a huge deal, but a pet peeve of mine.

Today I had no time to bake cookies. The deli was understaffed, so I spent the lunch rush helping them, then had to hurry to finish my prep for tomorrow, my baking, and my cleanup. So there weren't many cookies out, just a few left over from Saturday.

Apparently a customer was here this morning and saw that we had about 8 chocolate chip cookies left. She left and came back 4-5 hours later. I happened to be nearby, helping another customer order a cake. Lady storms over to me and interrupts the other customer. She says "Do you have any chocolate chip cookies in back?"
I say, "No, sorry. But we should have some tomorrow."
She makes an exasperated noise, turns to her husband and exclaims, "They weren't supposed to run out!! Dammit!" Then stomps off.

Ok...so what, am I supposed to guard the cookies with my life to make sure we never run out of chocolate chip? I mean, why didn't she buy them this morning?? Did she really think that 8 cookies would still be there 4 or 5 hours later on a Monday??

Weren't supposed to run out. Gah. What does she think we do in a grocery store if not sell things??

What a b****! Hopefully the rest of the day went better.

Overall today was a "meh" kinda day. Although there was excitement when a coworker cut off her entire fingernail about 30 seconds before my shift ended.

ew, I hope the fingernail isn't in someone's sandwich.

Yeah, how many times people get pissed at us because a whole school district is reading Animal Farm and when they show up to pick up a copy we don't have any left. And the outline is due tomorrow.

is it bad that I would point and laugh at her...while in any type of line behind her?

Obviously she traveled back in time to retrieve these special chocolate-chip cookies, needed to avert disaster at some point in the future.

She hadn't counted upon the fact that when she traveled back in time she would enter an alternate timeline. It just so happens that she entered ours, where the cookies had run out.

For everybody's sake, I hope that this timeline isn't doomed.
