Well well it's been a minute since my last entry, but nevertheless, foolishness doesn't take a break...
So hubby's customers are always creating just a plethora of loveliness and feelings that make you want to go out and stab somebody...
Hubby is currently training his new assistant, so the young lad is sitting in with him watching and learning as customers come in. In walks a lovely couple (seemingly) who are interested in the products he's selling- so hubby goes over the product options and versions available. After about 30 mins of going over the products - hubby excuses himself, to go in the back for a quick moment and leaves the couple to chat about their decision and options he just presented to them. The trainee is at the desk doing an online training module. After a few moments, the couple walks over to the trainee saying "hi, I'm sure you can answer our questions better than that guy" (pointing in hubby's direction)...
The trainee looking shocked and a bit scared shrugs and says "ok"-he just started the previous day, he couldn't tell his ass from his elbow... So they flood him with a series of questions to which he has no answers and "I'm not sure" is his constant refrain...
The couple looking bewildered says "You're the manager aren't you?" Trainee says "ahhhh, no, the gentleman that was helping you is the manager- he's training me, I just started yesterday" ... by this time, hubby has come back to the conversation and asks "what happened?" Trainee fills him in- the couple, looking shocked and quite frankly embarrassed say "I'm sorry, we just thought that for this area (Scarsdale) they'd have someone who...who... someone white" .... well well now... is that so!?!
Hubby chuckles a loud "HA" and smiles and shakes his head, the couple quickly gather a few brochures and tell him that they will be back later...
Mr. and Mrs. Bigot haven't been back since...
