People who help others

So I was at Sears today to take our carpet cleaner for repairs(my wife and I) and they now have a new system that is automated so you don't have to hunt some high schooler who doesn't know a carpet cleener from a tool box. Well, a lady got to it before I did and she couldn't read I guess so she was having a hard time figuring out what to do. I finally told her to push the button that tells her what she wanted to do and figured all was well. Nope! It asked her to place reciept at bar code reader and her order would be right out. She stood there for 10 minutes trying to get the code read before I finally LOST IT! I went to the delivery door and kicked it open and announced to the entire work crew that they had better get off their asses and come help all the customers that were now standing all the way outside.When 3 of the Sears staff of fine professionals were out the door all 3 asked what they could help me with. I very loudly replyed" you can help the 2 ladies first then they could help me with the repair form for my carpet cleaner." The kid that chose to help me thought he could deal with me and let me know that it looked fine to him but I should clean it up and run water in it to clean it. After he said that my wife quickly turned to me and told me to stay calm. Big mistake the lad had just made, and I tried but couldn't stay calm." Listen to me carefully sonny, I have a repair agreement with Sears at the present moment that I have paid good money for. THEY will clean it up and run water through it so if you don't think that it would be to much trouble perhaps you will get the form that I need to fill out and then we'll put the little tag on it and you can do your Fucking job and take it where ever you take these pieces of Shit and get it fixed so I can come back here in a couple of weeks and cuss your piece of Shit machine again!!!!" The look on his face let me know that he understood and was on top it. Problem is that it took him 20 minutes to find the form that I needed to fill out.So now I'm really pissed and kick in the door for the 2nd time. I saw the look of terror on his face or was it the look of someone who just shit his pants I don't know but I had to laugh Once the form was done and he'd taken my carpet cleaner to the back the lady that was trying to get her lawnmower for her husband let me know how much she liked that I helped her and all the other people who were waiting to be helped. As we walked to our truck my wife asked me if I really thought we would ever see the cleaner again which I replied " Nope it's in the dumpster as we speak so you might as well go pick out a new one next week." My wife knows I can't wait to go pick it up just so I can mess with them again.
