Back and Forth Mission

I could only hope that the customer didn't see my trembling fingers, shaking with silent rage, as once again she sent me to the back of the store. I wanted to strangle that woman! But with effort I kept a smile on my face, though the blaze in my eyes was probably harder to hide. Already she'd sent me to the back of the store a half dozen times. What she wanted changing within the two minutes I spent away from the register searching for the next odd request she had come up with in my absence. This time it was a zebra designed glitter harness in a size large.
Taking a steadying breath, I found the stupid harness in a size large. Grabbing a smaller medium one for good measure in case she decided once again her puppy dog was smaller than she'd originally thought. Please. Please let this be the last time. The last time I'd have to comply to her stupid requests. I couldn't wait for her to finally pay for her purchases and leave the store. I had supposed to have gone home over forty minutes ago, but her grasping and cheap nature refused to let me leave and have another take over her service. No, it was me and no one else.
Taking a deep breath, plastering my customer service smile back on my face I returned to her. "Is this what you wanted?" I asked.
