I was reminded of this interaction that happened a month or so ago and thought you all would appreciate it.

I was scheduled to open the store and had arrived 15-20mins early. As I head to the bathroom to change, I hear someone try to open the locked door followed by knocking on the window. I ignore it and change. There’s knocking again when I come out of the bathroom. I still ignore it and wait in the back until it’s to open.

I’ve barely made it back to the counter when a customer comes in holding a plastic bag of papers. “I need these shredded and I need you go fast. I have an appointment at 10am.” It is currently 10:01am.

I have them set the papers on the scale and I get the weight. I ring the total up. “That’ll be $5.25.”

They make a scandalized gasp. “So expensive! Can you give me a discount?”

“No. Have a good day.”
