People Are Funny - Part 1003

I forgot to write about this, and those in customer service will find a good laugh from this story (I'll write in the present tense, though this happened a couple weeks back).

Today I was 'drink engineer,' making drinks on bar. A little chica came in and (I guess) she thought it to be a good idea to show off her 'cute' dog by walking it right on inside the store. [Note: I still don't understand why people bring animals inside public buildings]. Not having her attention yet, I said, "That's a cute dog (which was far from the truth, but I needed to be nice), but we actually don't allow animals inside the store because..." And right before I could finish my sentence, the dog lifted his leg and peed all over our display and floor. I finished my sentence with, "...for that very reason." The girl didn't say anything, just tugged on the dog to make him stop and waited outside until her boyfriend came out with their drinks. There was no, "I'm sorry...can I clean that up for you," or anything of the sort. I'm sure you all could imagine what I was thinking. People are funny I guess <--- put nicely. "Ooops, you needed that 6 shot espresso so you could stay awake to write that paper?" I'm kicking myself that I thought she wanted decaf...sorry.
