Doctor: Taking Care of The Customer
|
Taking Care of The Customer John was a clerk in a small drugstore but he wasn't good at the salesman part of the job. He could never find the item the customer wanted. Bob, the owner, just had about enough and warned John that if he didn't sell anything to the next customer, it would be his last one. Just then a man came in with a nagging cough and he ask John for their best cough syrup. Try as he might John could not find the cough syrup. However, remembering Bob's warning, he sold the man a box of Ex-Lax and told him to take it all at once. The customer did as John said and then walked outside and leaned against a lamp post in obvious physical agony. Bob had seen the whole thing, even seeing the customer leaning on the lamp post, and came over to ask John what happened with the customer. "He wanted something for his cough but I couldn't find the cough syrup. I substituted Ex-Lax and told him to take the stuff all at once," John explained. "Ex-Lax won't cure a cough!!" Bob shouted angrily. "Sure it will," John said, pointing at the man leaning on the lamp post. "Look at him. He's afraid to cough." |
