Points II.

"So, you're not taking credit cards?"
I'm confused. "Huh?"
"This sign says you're not taking credit cards."
Oh.
"It says we're not taking points--"
I'm cut off.
"Well, what are THOSE?"
"Points are what students use to pay."
"Why would I care?"
Why are you asking so many questions?
I remain calm. "I suppose you wouldn't."
"This sign is confusing."
"Well, it's meant for the people who use points...they're the only ones who need to know what it means..." I trail off, trying not to add, "We established from minute one that you can pay by credit card. Just hand the plastic to me and let me get back to my tissue box."
"Well why."
I'm going to hit this woman.
"This is the university bookstore. Students have points. Points named after their mascot. If this doesn't make sense to you, then you don't go here, so it really doesn't concern you. Now, would you like to purchase those books?"
"Yes, and I'll pay by credit," she says, primly.
"Wonderful."
I'm so thrilled I could strangle myself.
