The Hamster

A young man was working at a pet store that offered free replacement fish to any that die. A lady called and stated that her hamster had died. The salesperson who answered the phone misunderstood her, thinking it was a fish, told her to place it in a plastic bag with water and return it so it could be replaced. The lady followed instructions to a "T" and brought her dead hamster in a bag of water and handed to the young man and said "my hamster died." Laughing he replied "Was that before or after you placed it in the bag of water?"

He was fired for not showing sympathy to a customer!
