The Customer Is Always Right

 The Customer is Always Right (Dark Comedy)
Characters:
Setting: A modern-day 24-hour dry cleaner.
CLERK: Sir, for the third time, we can’t get dragon blood out of wool. It’s acidic. It eats the fibers.
CUSTOMER: It is a souvenir of the Great Siege! My mother wove this!
CLERK: Your mother should have used a synthetic blend. Look, I can give you a discount on the "Mysterious Red Stain" package, but I’m not making any promises.
CUSTOMER: (Heaving the sword onto the counter with a loud thud) And the blade? Can you sharpen it?
CLERK: This is a dry cleaner, not a blacksmith. There’s a Home Depot two blocks down.
CLERK: (Stares blankly) I’m going to go to the back and look for some heavy-duty bleach. Please don't swing that at the spinning rack.
