There are these things called manners

Sometimes people just make you want to scream. Consider this patron interaction that Speck had today with a lady who spoke in a very snippy, rude tone of voice.

Annoying lady: I need some help using the copy machine.

Speck: Well, I can't leave the desk at the moment. As soon as one of my coworkers arrives I can come over and help you.

Annoying lady: It'll just take fifteen seconds.

Speck: Yup. As soon as someone comes back. I just can't leave this desk unattended.

Annoying lady: I don't understand why you won't help me. A customer is a customer.

Speck: Ma'am...

At this point, the lady just walked away. Had she waited literally 2 more seconds Speck could have helped her, as that is how long it took for another Tartarus employee to arrive.
