A few weeks ago, our son started working at the local driving range. He mans the cash register, gives people their buckets of balls and does a bunch of other stuff. To get to the driving range, you have to go through the club house, past the cash register and out to the range. The reverse is true when you’re done.
Last night, so he says to us, two old ladies were leaving the course, and walk right past him. Trying to be friendly, he waves to them and says “Have a good night!”
They keep on walking, not even acknowledging him.
As he recounts the story to my wife and I, he says “Well, I thought to myself, they must be a couple of assholes” (I loved how he just slipped that right in there, without even a pause,) “so I waved my hand again, and said slightly louder “Thanks for coming guys, have a good evening”
No response.
The guy next to our son, Alex, says “Don’t worry about it, they’re old so they’re probably senile”. This is why I don’t hire young guys. They’re insensitive morons.
So, even louder, our son says “Really appreciate you stopping by. Come back real soon.”
Nothing.
The ladies put their bags down, turn around, and come up to speak with Alex. With their hands and unintelligible words. They’re deaf.
Our son said one of the older guys at the counter started to laugh at him, and he just had to walk away. It had been one of those kinds of days.
