Yeah, two in one day! Sorry.
A Customer picked out a bag for his lady pal, and we were at the register, about to make the transaction happen. A lady had been nearby for a couple minutes. As I was about to tell him about the store card, she cuts in and starts doing my job! Telling him about how he can save X% on his purchase, and even promising him that I would give him the X%, no matter what. Of course, I could do nothing but stand there and smile, when all I was thinking was, "Would you please step back and keep your mouth shut?!"
So as the guy was pulling out his money and other information, the lady just steps up and says, "Can I go first? Signing up is going to take a while and I already know what I want."
I couldn't tell if the guy was very irritated or just kind of caught off guard, but he said (very slowly) that it was okay if she wanted to go first. So I rang her up, and as she was leaving, she told the guy, "She'll take care of you and get you your X%. I used to work here."
So, yeah, the guy still wanted to apply for the store card, thank goodness. I don't care how nice that lady was trying to be, she was incredibly rude. You don't get to ruin my sales and jump ahead just because you think you're quicker, and it takes me less than a minute to do the process of opening the store card for customers. If she had waited patiently, the transaction would have taken less than two minutes. I just can't stand it when customers come in and do my job. It happens all the time, though maybe not to that extent.
