Me: “Hello sir, how may I help you?”
Customer: “Yeah, I’m looking for some perennials who don’t need maintenance on it.”
Me: “Well, we got a few who need very low attention, but–”
Customer: “–and I don’t want to water them! I don’t have time for that!”
Me: “Every plants need water sir, even cactus, but we–”
Customer: “And they gonna be by the pool, so they need to be waterproof, too!”
Me: “Waterproof?”
Customer: “Yeah, so the chlorine won’t affect them and they will not die!”
Me: “So you want some flowers who doesn’t need maintenance, don’t need water and that chlorine won’t kill?”
Customer: “Yep, that’s it!”
Me: “Plastic flowers gonna work?”
Customer: “Do you think I am stupid! Get me your manager!”
(I call my manager, and the customer explains everything he wants to my boss. My manager responds similarly…)
Manager: “Plastic flowers?”
Customer: “You guys don’t know anything about gardening!”
