"I hate Twilight! But I love my Bible! Especially the parts of it that I've actually read." <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The following conversation was sent in to Not Always Right<\/a>, a blog about customers not always being right. I thought it was interesting.<\/p>\n

Do you think it’s a true story?<\/strong><\/p>\n

(A young woman, about 20 years old, comes up to the counter holding a copy of The Bible.)<\/em><\/p>\n

Me:<\/strong> \u201cHi, did you find everything you needed today?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Customer:<\/strong> \u201cYeah, hey, can you tell me what this is about?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Me:<\/strong> \u201cThe Bible?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Customer:<\/strong> \u201cYeah, what\u2019s it about?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Me:<\/strong> \u201cThe Bible has two parts, the Old Testament which is scriptures and the New Testament, which contains the story of Jesus\u2019 life and works as told through the gospels, written by Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Customer:<\/strong> \u201cHuh. Is it any good?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Me:<\/strong> \u201cIt\u2019s pretty popular.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Customer:<\/strong> \u201cNah, I\u2019ll just get this one instead.\u201d <\/em>*puts a copy of Twilight<\/em> on the counter*<\/em><\/p>\n
