What type of customer are you?

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

I've actually done 'B' more than once.  Rotten manners are symptomatic of rotten people.  Never pass up an opportunity to point out boorish behaviour.

Boru

Pretty much the same as Vic, except my Mental Mutilation Music of choice would be something like Two Steps From Hell
So, C.1, I guess...

ooooh oooh, 'archangel' would be perfect for this~

Aha! Another 2SFH fan, eh? You get more likeable every day

If they make me wait too long, I will say something, perhaps to the asshole customer, perhaps asking another employee to open a new line. But if the wait isn't unbearable, I hold my fire.

I do tend to be oblivious to the squawkings of my fellow humans.

Several years ago I snapped out of my reverie when a harried mom was spectating while her 4 year old brat was having a meltdown between the automatic doors at the grocery store and blocking my exit.

Obvious, to me at least, in such a situation one needs to bodily snag the brat and swat rumpus quickly and clear the obstruction before MY Klondike bars melt. Such a reasonable course of action seemed not to be materializing, so I remarked to the person behind me (not ahead, sorry OP) but loud enough for everyone to hear in case they were more interested in my comment than the screeches of the ill behaved child, that it looked like we were going to be there until mom developed a parenting skill or two.

That seemed to goad mom a tad. She gave ME a look that would have froze the heart of the brat had she bothered to cast her stink eye in that direction, but intsead, I got to enjoy pushing her buttons as much as her kid was.


Update:

my Klondike bars were fine

Make snarky comments about the rude customer to myself, yet loud enough for him/her to over hear (and hope he/she doesn't turn around and punch me in the face).
