Customers? Not Always Right [Thursday, May 23, 2013]

[professor-lyman.livejournal.com]

Today the Danger Shop looked a lot like the school library, albeit with a lot more people wandering through it.

"Today you will not be wearing hairnets," Josh began,"but you will still be assisting customers. Some of them will be young, some will be quite old, and some, as always, will be completely out of their minds."

A lot would be that last one because Josh was kind of mean to his students.

"Grab your ID tags--" they even had correct names on them, which Josh thought was very nice of him, "--find a spot behind the counter, and get ready to face the public."

Help your customers!

Or appear to be Very Busy behind the counter in an attempt not to make any eye contact...

After the slight kanima freakout earlier in the week, as well as the continuing voicemails from Coach Finstock? Yeah, Jackson didn't feel entirely up to dealing with annoying simulations. He barely felt up to dealing with annoying actual humans.

He was going to be trying to look Very Busy indeed, yeah.

Mercy was there, nametag in place, and wondering what would happen this week!

"Hello," a woman said, coming up to Mercy. "I'm looking for a book."

She nodded, looking expectant.

Why yes, that was all the information she was going to give you.

"Well, you've come to the right place," Mercy said. "What kind of a book would you like?"

Re: Help your customers!

[npc-customers.livejournal.com]

"A good one," she replied with a sharp frown. "Nothing unsuitable."

Re: Help your customers!

[walkswithcoyote]

"Ah," Mercy said. "Of course not. Something religious maybe?"

Re: Help your customers!

[npc-customers.livejournal.com]

"A real religion," she declared. "Nothing Buddhist."

"No, ma'am," Mercy said as politely as she could manage. "I wouldn't think of it. Now did you want fiction or non-fiction?"

Re: Help your customers!

[npc-customers.livejournal.com]

"They make fictional stories about Jesus?" she gaped.

Re: Help your customers!

[walkswithcoyote]

Oh, brother...

"No, ma'am," Mercy said politely. "They're fictional stories about Christians living good Christian lives and God's influence on them."

Re: Help your customers!

[npc-customers.livejournal.com]

She thought about that. "Are they Baptists?"

Re: Help your customers!

[walkswithcoyote]

Mercy considered that. "They don't have to be?"

Re: Help your customers!

"All right, I'll take it," she decided. "But if I don't like it, I'm going to tell your supervisor."

Re: Help your customers!

[walkswithcoyote]

"I'd expect no less," Mercy said, very grateful that she wouldn't be around when this lady came back!

Talk to Josh!

He can tell you about the days in dinosaur times when you had to look up books in a card catalog made of paper.
