I assumed she was about to complain about me for being slow and quiet.

"But, she demanded to know why someone who looked the way I did was working. When my manager started making excuses, the customer asked her why she couldn't do it herself and then said she was going to call corporate to report the manager. I was sent home on the spot. I wanted to hug that customer!"
