Checker

So Utah now requires you to carry snow chains or you can eat a fat fine. The BK quickly responded by taking the LG to Checker Auto Parts to pick some up. In his haste, the BK forgot that the LG is currently in potty training mode and was only wearing underwear. Upon entering the store, the BK headed to the customer service desk where he was greeted by a friendly clerk who started assisting him. That is, until the phone rang. The clerk then proceeded to carry on a very lengthy conversation assisting the customer on the phone leaving the BK and LG waiting in annoyance. As the BK was growing more and more irritated with the clerk's failure to comply with the "number one rule in customer service" (the BK claims that everyone knows you should help people in ORDER!), the BK looked down to see that the LG was also incapable of waiting anymore. The BK decided that was enough. Picked up the LG and walked out of the store, leaving the clerk to "assist" them at his leisure. I would be more upset at the lessons this taught the LG, if I could stop laughing. Even Grandpa thinks it was an appropriate response. Can't argue with Grandpa.

I love it! I always feel dumb waiting on people who are supposed to be waiting on you. Good idea John!

Hahahaha... take that, clerk! :) I didn't even know about that law about snow chains... So thanks for that heads-up!

I'm with BK. Always help the customer standing in front of you first. Did you ever get your chains?
