I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again…

Never assume anything!

Because if you do, you might find yourself in a situation like this one…

Where you falsely assume that someone is an employee when they’re really not.

In this story, one man was shopping when a customer quite rudely asked for help. Let’s see how he puts the customer in his place.

Blue Shirt Phenomenon.

“I owned an auto repair business.

Our staff uniform was a dark blue polo shirt. Gold embroidered business name on the sleeve. Gold embroidered employee name on the right breast.

You know what’s about to happen…

I was in a Menards store.

A customer comes up besides me while I’m on my phone with my service manager and starts huffing.

I look around at him and he grimaces at me and gives me the wrap it up sign.

He told him!

I end the call and he says, “Now that you’ve finished with your personal business, how about doing your job?”

“Sorry pal, but I don’t work here. If I did I’d call security and have you escorted out of the building for being rude and stupid. Have a super day!””

That was quite the comeback to a rude customer!
