The clerk was just spewing out what she was supposed to, probably more out of habit than anything.Max Sartinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07271198231897203659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2313795221042048302.post-20603237289754288122011-07-18T10:27:43.951-06:002011-07-18T10:27:43.951-06:00She only heard the word "school" and wen...She only heard the word "school" and went into her required spiel. Sort of like a student in class, actually.<br />At least she didn't say, "Would you like fries with that?"<br /><br />I just saw a play about putting on a play last week. In it, one of the actresses, has all her lines and blocking perfectly memorized, but she can't adapt. So when things go wrong, she just keeps doing what she's been told to do, instead of THINKING and adjusting. Hence, she ends up talking to people who aren't there and saying lines that don't make sense. It's hilarious, of course. <br />This salesgirl sounds rather like this. Just because you told her you're a teacher doesn't mean she's going to vary her assigned blurb about donating to schools.....The English Teacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14982031308501442156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2313795221042048302.post-7047616254367876492011-07-15T14:52:55.470-06:002011-07-15T14:52:55.470-06:00Absolutely.

That's the way I like it when I'm the customer.<br />Sometimes I wish I could blank out all school related thoughts during the summer, and at times I do, but there's nothing I hate worse than running around stressed that first week back, trying to get everything set up.Max Sartinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07271198231897203659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2313795221042048302.post-90483370435987210242011-07-15T14:27:31.185-06:002011-07-15T14:27:31.185-06:00Don't you just hate it when you realize the pe...Don't you just hate it when you realize the person you were speaking with just didn't absorb one word you said!!!
