I work as a greeter in a popular jeans store, and this happened early in my shift. I was thinking about a reddit story I had just heard about a really dumb person, and when a couple guests came in I went into customer service mode and loudly said “Hello idiots!” As soon as those words left my lips I thought I was royally screwed, but I lucked out since the guests were tourists. They didn’t speak english and so didn’t pick up on what I had said to them, they just waived and headed to the escalator to get to the store’s lower level. I wanted to bash my head against the door frame until I forgot that entire interaction, that’s gonna be a thing that makes me cringe every time I think about it for the rest of my life…
