    Customer Versus Mother Nature

    I am collecting carts when I witness some guy drive his Ford Explorer into a tree in the parking lot. The driver gets out of the vehicle and starts screaming at the sky.

    He then storms over to me.

    Customer: “The store needs to pay for that!”

    Me: “You would need to talk to the manager for that, sir.”

    Luckily for me, the manager is outside taking a cigarette break and has already walked over. He introduces himself.

    Customer: “You need to compensate me for this! I wasn’t expecting you to have trees in a parking lot! Who puts trees in a parking lot?!”

    Manager: “Sir, the store can’t be held responsible for you driving into a tree.”

    Customer: “Then I’ll sue! It’s the tree’s fault!”

    Manager: “We’ll be sure to tell the trees to get out of the way next time, sir.”

    With that statement, the customer realized how ridiculous he was being and stormed off to drive his dented car away. My manager lit another cigarette and casually strolled back toward the store.

    NOT my story but I do remember a tree that grew in the worst possible place next to a busy 4-lane, just past a curve. It had been hit so many times that the bark on that side was gone. Finally, instead of putting up a guard rail the tree was cut down.

    Doubt he’ll find one that covers all her virtues, but it’s a nice thought.

    If I would encounter a living bear cub in a store I’d be on high alert where it’s mother might be and sneak away fastest possible.
