This job is too sad.

Up +12 Down

I worked at a frame shop during my college days where the "townies" would come in and get the most ridiculous pictures custom framed. Everyday I dealt with these hillbilly customers that would complain about the prices, work out a frame/mat combination over a couple hours, and then at the last minute, change their minds. Well one woman came in and wanted to get her sons portrait a new mat. She brought out his picture and out of nowhere started hysterically crying and sobbing at the counter. She then started screaming that her child was dead, and that if I ruined this picture she would sue the frame shop. By this point people have stopped shopping and have started watching. Im just standing there like "uhhh im really sorry about your son, but if you like I can get the measurements, cut the mat and you can hold onto the photo..." She then throws herself onto the counter and precedes to sob and cry loudly into her arms saying "oh god! oh god!" for about 10-15 minutes while her husband and I just stare at each other at a lost for what to do. My manager comes over and demands to know what happened, and tries to calm the woman down. She starts screaming at HIM that her child was dead and how important the picture was to her. She finally manages to calm down and collect herself. So then, she, the manager and I work out a mat combination, enter everything into the computer, guarantee and assure her everything will be fine and ring it up. She looks at me, then the manager, starts tearing up, and then erupts into sobbing again, grabs her picture and runs out of the store. Needless to say, after that day, I started looking for another job.
