The customer is always right

I was at the library, pretending like I was going to check out a non-comic book, when I heard a lady talking to a truck rental place on the phone.  After all, why not carry out a phone conversation at the library?  “I am trying to get a validation code for a discount.”  Pause.  “OK, thanks!”  Five seconds passed, then she called again.  Same conversation to a word.  This happened four consecutive times.  I could tell she was very dumb, because she kept calling and asking the same question, getting the same answer, then calling right back.  It was like watching a three year old jam a square block into a round peg for ten minutes.

I remembered then when I worked at such a facility and the clientele that drove me to drink.  One genius came in after I handed him the keys, red faced pissed.  “This box truck doesn’t have a rear view mirror!”  Yes, they’re on the sides.  “No!  I mean in the middle!”  Hmmm.  Sir, you realize that if it did, the boxes and such would cover up that hole anyways.  “Um, I was planning on making a sight tunnel!  Hello!  I want my money back!”  You know what, you’re right.  Please don’t rent this box truck, you’ll just kill someone driving it around.  May I suggest taking the damage waiver when you realize no such magic vehicle exists?
