Ah, customers
Jun. 23rd, 2010 02:41 pmI present to you: A dramatic re-enactment of an email conversation
Customer - 9:46 AM (46 minutes after the deadline):
Oh goodness! Oh gracious! Here's is my very important order, that I am counting on to feed myself and my mother all week. I know I am a few minutes late, but that's better than the hours late I've been every week thus far, right? Is it acceptable? Can I have my food even though I am a few minutes late?
Yours truly - 10:38 AM:
Thank you for your order! It has been received, and even though your order was almost an hour late, I can send your groceries as requested.
Customer - 10:41 AM:
Yeah! Glory be! You are a wonderful person and I am truly happy.
... Can I add four grapefruits to that order?
