Angry Custy At The Gas Station

So today in the gas station while Tex is on break, a woman comes in, just fuming and furious.

But Tex, who is usually an asshole, is on a Tweaker Energy drink, so he’s in a pretty good mood. He smiles at this lady and says ‘C’mon! No sad faces in here, let’s see a smile!

This woman just glares at him and says “I hate everything to do with [Tribe] and gambling.”

So… why the fuck is this woman in a gas station OWNED by said tribe, which sits next to a giant-ass Casino?

Tex is determined to get a smile out of this woman, though, and says “Well, I’m a member of [Tribe to the north], I ain’t [Tribe]!”

She glares harder, if possible, and yells “I just hate all you fucking Indians!”

Yet Tex just keeps smiling and motions to the east.

“Well get back in your canoe and paddle your ass back to England, lady, we were here first.”

Wow. That is one great comeback.

That... Is... Awesome!

Though, I'd have to paddle to the west. ;-)

Love it!

Primo response. I love that you work in a place where you could say that! I hate that I have to bite my tongue at work.

Yes, she deserved it for being a racist, but I probably also wouldn't respond all that well to '‘C’mon! No sad faces in here, let’s see a smile!'

I'm not in Kindergarten. I don't like being patronized, and I don't like being told to change my mood just because you're in the mood to vomit sunshine and want everyone to join you. I'm not in a good mood so just leave me alone. How hard is that?

Yay, nice!
Racist people deserve smart-ass comebacks ^^

On the other hand, I agree with Chicajojobe- when it happens that I am in a bad mood and someone I don´t know tells me to "smile", I respond with "My mood is none of your business and the purpose of my existence is not to cater to your happiness, so leave me alone" (I specifically memorized it after I started working my third job and sometimes my tired looks elicited this comment).

As I said, Tex is an asshole.

[Dave-ros]

Don't send her back to England, we don't want her (or Piers Moron, for that matter)!

I suspect she had very recently lost a large quantity of money at said casino.

I'm of a (likely small) group of people who reply to such comments of "Smile, it's not like everything's so bad." with a bared-teeth snarl. I don't particularly enjoy smiling, nor am I usually in the mood to smile.

However, I also have very little tolerance for racism, and if I happened to have been a bystander in that situation, the custy would have gotten the worst of it. If you're unable to deal with a particular group of people, whether it's a matter of religion, color, etc, then you can pack your bags and leave, cause I'm sure that whatever group you pick to hate on has put down roots and is here to stay.
