b-x–x. I will not have you blaming me for your problems. How dare you?!” (Suddenly, he SLAPS me across the face. Caught completely off guard, I take a step back and shut my eyes. But when I look back up, the man is nowhere to be seen. I notice that everyone is looking down at the floor, so I peer over the counter to see him attempting to crawl away, unable to stand up, and clutching a bleeding ear. The next customer in line is an unassuming, bespectacled man that stands no taller than 5’5″.) Next Customer: “Hey, are you okay?” Me:”Uh, yeah, I’m fine… what just happened?” Next Customer:”Oh, I wasn’t just gonna let him do that to you, so I slapped him back.”his face breaks into a grin Me: “Wait, you… what did you do?” (As it turned out, the guy with glasses was trained extensively in multiple forms or martial arts, and had leapt up and performed a cup-handed ear slap on the customer that had assaulted me. My manager has seen what has just happened and walks over.) Manager: to the next customer “Wow. That was the coolest thing I have ever seen. Thanks for that. You’re welcome to shop here anytime.” (Incidentally, I have been dating this short bada for almost a year now!)
