rain check


I'm pretty sure odd/difficult/annoying/crack head customers are attracted to me.
It throughly amuses me, the interactions I have, so I will share them.
The bakery messed up the raspberry scone batter so we didn't get any.
A woman approaches and orders one without realizing we don't have any (because the bakery messed up the batter for that day).
me:Sorry we don't have any raspberry scones.  There was a mishap in the bakery
customer:Oh no!
me:Oh...not like that. thinking:Maybe "mishap" was a bad word to use. They just messed up the batter or something.(holding up piece of paper from the bakery for the customer to see that informs us they regret any inconvenience this may cause....I'm sure they didn't have this in mind)
customer:Well do I get a rain check?
me: (knowing what she means but hoping that's not what she really means because it is a rather ridiculous request)What do you mean?
customer:Well what do you usually do when you run out of something you normally have?
me:Apologize??

A rain check?!  If you go to the grocery store and they are out of your favorite kind of bread, do they give you a rain check there? NO! If you go to a clothing store and they don't have your size pants, do they give you a rain check there? NO!  So please explain to me lady why the fuck would we give you one here?  Out of the kindness of our hearts?  Sorry you're looking at the wrong person.
