AS a customer, to this nice deli lady:
Wow. So, you ran out of corn dogs and you'll make some more, just for me. That's fine, thank you for apologizing for the wait---I understand, I've been in that position before. 10-15 minutes? Sure, I'll go shopping.
Okay, I went shopping. I even bought some stuff I didn't plan to buy, since I was here (nice job keeping me in the store!)
What's that? Oh, you got swamped and forgot about my corn dogs? Well, I should get back to work soon, but I can kill 10 minutes.
Aww, you don't need to give me samples---well, if you insist. Sample THAT too? And that?
She gave me a sample of all their most popular items, 2 donuts, and some popcorn chicken to snack on, then clocked out.
So I come back 10 minutes later for my corn dogs, and run into the manager. I compliment the woman for going above and beyond, then ask for the ETA on the corn dogs.
"We're all out until tomorrow."
What the @#$?
Whatever, I'm still happy. I would have become an SC like THAT if the first lady hadn't been so nice, though. I mean, the only reason I was sticking around the second time is I felt bad they went to all the effort of making extra corn dogs just for me, so I should stay and buy them.
Now it turns out the cake--er, corn dog--is a lie.
I still can't work out what happened there. I even spoke with this manager WHILE the other lady was on shift. Did they sell the corn dogs? Did they never exist?
I'll never know.
