So I enter this Pharmacy that doubles as a cosmetic shop. It has about four ladies working there. Suddenly, one of the ladies at the cosmetics stand drops a bottle of cologne while serving a customer in what appeared to be kind of clumsy. The lady looks very young and cute though. Then another lady who definitely appears to be the in authority; a supervisor perhaps, quips at her! “Marion, that’s the third bottle you have broken this month! I swear you break one more you are fired!”
Marion poses for a minute, definitely embarrassed at having been reprimanded in front of the customers. But her come back is one you cannot forget soon!
“You can’t fire me! This shop belongs to my baibe!” She says, gesturing at the back office where I assume the owner is sitting, obviously listening through this melee. Clearly she is the owner’s girlfriend, mistress or something; I don’t judge.
The owner, a young guy who ladies might say is good looking, comes out to quell the temperatures between his employees. He gestures the two into the office. I’m still tantalized by the drama that has illuminated a tedious morning. The middle aged customer who had been at the cologne stand looks at me and muses; “I feel sorry for him, I would be very interested to find out which organ he uses to make a decision about the incident!” We both leave the place laughing…
