And a Friendly How-Do-You-Do to You, Too!

[HawaiianShirts]

Short scene in the computer department. I'm standing next to the hard drives talking to a co-worker. A middle-aged man enters the aisle with a rather determined look on his face. He's walking slowly, though, so I figure that he must be looking for something.

Me: (to co-worker) Just a moment, V. (to customer) How are you doing today, sir?
Customer: No.
Me: Anything I can help you find?
Customer: No.
Me: All right. Let me know if you have any questions.
Customer: No.
Me: ...

This guy didn't look exactly happy, but his voice conveyed no emotion at all! I saw him leave without buying anything a short time later, wearing that same determined scowl.

Greeter: Thanks for coming in, sir. Have a nice afternoon.
Customer: No.

Just weird. Like a sulky three-year-old.

hawaiin shirts.... I'd say, wow you get some odd ones... but I get that at least once a day with someone checking in where they won't say a word to you other than the name on the reservations...

You could've really had some fun with this guy: asking questions that obviously had a "yes" answer and see how much of an idiot he would've been answering "no." ie: when I ask my cw "Do you know anything????" But I can see how he would be annoying

[scroob]

Nobody think that I would actually say that to a cust. Also, it is usually always said to my cw in jest.

Ya know, I've had cranky customers, exhausted customers happy customers and the like; but never a bland customer.

Add more salt.

I have never had any customers that angry or weird. Usually they will just ignore you.

Add more salt.

and now the very nice pilot using the guest computer in the lobby is wondering what is so damned funny

He must have been channeling my 2 1/2 year old niece - that's her favorite word these days.
