Shop Story #380.

I'm in the office doing the time sheets.

A woman comes in, let's call her the Drycleaning Lady, to pick a dress up. Ren serves her. She gets annoyed by the price ($17.50). She reacts by telling us that lots of posters in our shop are outdated. Ren gives her a polite brush off and then comes and tells me about the aforementioned exchange...
Me: Oh shut up, Drycleaning Lady.
Ren: She was just annoyed by the price. The dress was of a difficult material! (Ren knows about those kind of things)
Me: I don't like her.
Scott comes up to stand in the doorway.
Scott: Did you hear her?
Me: Yeah. I hate Drycleaning Lady.
Scott: Me too. She's smug.
Me: She's condescending!
Scott: She is!
Me: She's a smug condescending wh*re.

Scott bursts into peels of laughter and walks out of office. Ren asks him what's so funny. I overhear him saying the following:

Scott: Felicity just called that woman something that wasn't very ladylike.
