here are two conversations i had at work today.
i had been helping this guy with some anime when this older gentleman came down the aisle, he stood there and didn't say anything.
i turned to acknowledge him and he waved me off so i turned back to anime guy.
i must have been answering anime guy's questions for about fifteen minutes, during this time, the older gentleman had left the aisle and came back.
finally, the older gentleman gets closer and says, "i don't mean to disrupt you, but could you help me when and if you finish with him?"
me "sure, it's what i get paided to do"
him "are you mocking me?"
me "no"
bythis time, anime guy walked off and i told him thank you for stopping by
older gentleman "are you done with him now?
me "yes"
him "boy, you sure were going above and beyond with helping him"
me "really?!? thanks, it's what we are suppose to do"
him "..."
me "yeah, we're suppose to be your friend and stuff and find out a little bit about you so we can help you better"
him "..."
me "so what can i help you with?"
him "i don't need your help"
and he walked off.
conversation #2
me "welcome to best buy, is there anything in particular you are looking for?"
lady "imlookinfoglahsudew"
me "i'm sorry?"
her "you speak spanish?"
me "no"
her "mel geebson, gladouterwear"
me "huh?"
she turns to her kid and syas something in spanish.
he kid "do you have gladiator?"
me "yes, this way"
i hand her the dvd and she looks at me and asks, "what is you last name?"
me "why?"
her "because i want to know?"
me "my last name is not important, did you have any other questions?"
her "yes, your last name, what is it?"
me "i'm not going to answer that"
she turns around and walks off
i continue to walk the ailses when my manager comes up to me and demands why i won't answer her question
i tell him that she dosn't need to know my last name
him "what? is that what she was asking you?"
me "yes"
him "she told me that you wouldn't answer her questions about a dvd"
me "what?!?"
he turns to her and says that my last name is not important.
me" you just want to know my last name because you want to bitch me out for not knowing spanish, right?"
her "..."
me "well?"
her "you are a disgrace to your heritage"
me (being drowned out by my manager yelling at her that she is no longer welcomed to shop here) "last time i checked, i am american and i speak ENGLISH!"
sorry for the long post, just had to vent.
