Sociopath: Sketch Two

“Excuse me does this coupon work on these hotdogs?”

What’s wrong with this old lady what does it look like? Bite your tongue and look. I’m looking, is she blind it has a picture of the hot dogs on the coupon for crying out loud. Well help her and be on your way. Its so obvious its confusing. Just tell her yeah.

“Yes ma’m I think it is, pretty sure it is, you might want to-”
“Augh! Just, why don’t you make yourself useful and just get me a basket!”

Did you hear that! Smile. Who this hell is this woman? Default smile, go to default smile. To my face she just spoke to me like a slave. Laugh, let off some steam and laugh. Why do people talk to us like this, I was trying to help her. Keep laughing and just say yes.

“Of course.”

I couldn’t even look at her. You did good. I wanted to hurt her. Well.. Have I ever been so rude? It’s part of your job now, don’t dwell on it. How come people can just talk to us like that? Keep smiling. No one has a right to talk to me like that. Just hand her the basket and walk off, not a single word. I wont even look her in the eye. Whatever works.

“Oh, wonderful, thank-you.”

I hope she feels bad. Don’t count on it.
