So that’s the difference between rich people and us

I recently discovered a hilarious website called The customer is not always right that collects true stories of clueless, abusive, or ignorant customers from the perspective of the poor service workers who have to deal with them.

There’s a particularly laugh-worthy gem online this morning:

(My dad was standing in an express line at the grocery store. In front of him was a well-to-do-looking woman, who clearly had several more items than the limit.)

Dad: “You know, it’s amazing that someone who is apparently so successful can’t read.”

Woman: (in a huff) “That sign’s for regular people, not for me!”

(An old man behind my dad taps him on the shoulder.)

Old man: “Here, give her this.”

(My dad hands it to the woman.)

Woman: “What’s this?”

Old man: “Metamucil. It’ll make you regular.”
