Manga Anger
Our bookstore sells a wide selection of manga volumes. They usually come tightly sealed in plastic wrap to keep them pristine.
Customer: “I’m looking for volume fourteen of [Manga].”
Me: “Our system says we have one left in stock. It should still be on the shelves. Would you like help finding it?”
Customer: “Yeah, I went there already, but you don’t have it.”
We go to where the volume should be, but he’s right; volume fourteen is nowhere to be found.
Me: “I’m afraid I can’t seem to find a copy of that book, sir.”
Customer: “You said you had one in stock!”
Me: “The system is telling me we do, but it’s likely that another customer has moved it. When we check the shelves later, I can call you if we come across wherever it’s been misplaced.”
Customer: “You’d better! I found a copy here a few minutes ago, and I don’t even work here!”
Me: “Wait, you found the copy of the book here already?”
Customer: “Yeah! I opened the plastic seal to check that it was what I was looking for, and it was.”
Me: “Then why didn’t you buy that?”
Customer: “Are you deaf? The plastic seal is broken! I want a new one!”
Me: “Where did you put the opened book?”
Customer: “I just tossed it on a shelf somewhere.”
Me: “…”
Customer: “So, are you gonna order me that book or what?”
