Why did I even ask?

Me: "Hello!"
Customer: "Hrumf."
Me: "Are you finding everything okay so far?"
Customer: *grunt*
Me: "Uh, okay... Well, let me know if you have any questions?"
Customer: "Yup."
... few moments later...I am standing at the till with a counter full of toys two big boxes next to the till and I'm busily scanning/typing them into inventory...
Customer: "Making work?"
Me: *thinking* "Yes actually! I _am_ the dumb one here. As I recall _I've_ been the adult managing to form full sentences up till this point of time!"
Me: "There is always work to be done around here..." *polite smile*

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Me: "Hello!"
Customer: "I'm not buying anything!"
Me: *thinking* "Then why are you wasting your time in a _store_...? Perhaps there's a job you could be doing that'd make you money AND make you stop wasting my time?"
Me: "Let me know if you need anything..."
