Angry Customer #2423121

Today was a strange day all around. From 12:30 to 1:15 PM, we close the store down so that we can all get something to eat. Usually we just put the sign on the door that says "Sorry, we're closed! Come back at 1:15!" and that's that. Since someone is always in the shop, we rarely lock the door down.

During that 45-minute period, we like to goof off. Today, G brought in his iPod and set it up on one of the docks. We were having a bit of fun in the back room, dancing around to a silly Japanese song that literally is about an egg omelet. It's all in good fun, just something to pass some time when we're done snarfing our takeout.

Well, today, that wasn't gonna fly. All of a sudden, someone starts dinging the bell quite obnoxiously. R went out to tell the customer that we were closed right now, but if it was emergency we'd be happy to help. The woman just snarled at him that she was going to tell the boss about our lack of professionalism. Well, lady, first off, the boss knows what we do. He doesn't give a flying foot what we do during our lunch breaks. You can feel free to complain to him, but he's not going to do anything. Second, you shouldn't have been in the store in the first place. Maybe you can't read English with your teeny little brain, but the sign clearly said that we were closed. Partially the fault lies with us for not bothering to lock the door, but still, the sign was perfectly clear: tech support is closed. Come back later.

So G and I were just lurking in the back listen to that woman complain. Yes, because having a short break is absolutely horrible. *rolls eyes*
