Hey folks! Usually I post a story everyday except weekends and I try to do it before midnight of each day but today I gotta work til midnight… So here’s one for you to read while I’m away working at the grocery store.
Customers leave all kinds of personal things behind in the grocery store, keys, wallets, phones, etc. Most of the time they come back to recover their possessions. Whatever it is we find, we put the item in our lost and found. The item stays in the lost and found until someone comes to claim it. We still have wallets, books, DVDs, and cell phones still unclaimed that had been lost last year.
A customer is inquiring about an iPhone he just lost…
iPhony: Hey, I left my iPhone here.
Me: OK, let me check if anyone turned anything in.
I ask the checkers and courtesy clerks but nothing came up.
Me: Sir, no one turned anything in.
He starts to get irritated…
iPhony: Its here! I know its here! [Pointing to checkstand 3] I was in that checkstand a few minutes ago!
I hand him a pen and paper…
Me: If you write your name and number down. I’ll call you if we find it.
iPhony: Call me my ass! Its an iPhone! No ones going to call!
Me: Please calm down…
iPhony: One of your workers must have it! Check their pockets!
Me: Sir, I’m not checking my co-workers pockets. We will call you if we find your phone.
He hands me the paper with his number…
iPhony: Call my number! Its here! Call it!
Agitated, I obliged.
I can see something vibrating in the plastic bag of groceries he’s holding with the ringtone…
