Slow down and don't be an ass...

Today, I was grabbing lunch at the chinese place right by where I work during the lunch hour. Plenty of traffic, plenty of people "on the go." I happen to overhear two yuppie types walk into the restaurant. I will call them Prick and Jack-ass. An employee happen to be nearby as they walked in.

Prick - "I'm out of cash, hopefully they can take credit card"
Jack Ass - "Probably I'm not sure why they wouldn't"
Employee - "No cash machine here, no credit, cash only"
Prick (while he walks) - "what?"
Employee - "No cash machine, no credit, pay with cash only."
Prick - "what?!"
Employee - "No credit here, pay cash only"
Jack Ass - "Oh...I think she's trying to tell us we can't use our credit card...."

TRYING?!

Hey asshole, she wasn't trying to tell you this, she did tell you this...you were't trying to understand. Sure, there may be a slight language barrier, but her message seemed pretty clear to me...Just because the english may be broken down a bit doesn't mean she can't communicate. It was clear as day what she said.

So they finally figured it out after asking another person and wandered off to McDonalds.

The lesson here: Short-sighted people annoy the hell out of me.
