Pregnant women will agree that morning sickness can happen at any time of the day.

This woman was taking a well-deserved day off from work to manage her vacation hours.

When she returned, a customer confronted her with an attitude about her absence.

So she gave her a quick and honest response that completely changed the tone of the interaction.

“You know there’s no warning system for pregnancy related issues”

I took yesterday off from work.

I am almost capped out of my vacation hours.

So I take random days off to offset it.

The security guard who was sitting in for me would then tell customers that I was out sick.

And would be back in the next day.

This woman encountered a customer with an attitude.

A lady that apparently came in yesterday had just come back in for her order.

I could tell she was going to be one of those customers the moment she walked in the door with an attitude.

She said, “I was here yesterday. And I surely hope you are feeling better.

I don’t know how you expect to run a business if you just close whenever you feel like it.”

The moment she said she was pregnant, the customer shut up.

I smile softly at her and rub my protruding belly and say:

“Well, you know, there’s no warning system for pregnancy-related issues.”

I don’t think I have ever seen a person shut up that fast before. 🙂
