628　Frustrated Customers 沮丧的顾客

The speaker at my bank's drive-through window had been broken for weeks, and we tellers had to resort to miming or writing notes to communicate with our frustrated customers. One day a sweet elderly lady whom I would see every week pulled up to the window, leaned out of her car and smacked the glass in front of my face. “Hope this is bulletproof,” she yelled. There had just been a robbery at another bank nearby, so I was touched by her concern. “It is,” I yelled back. “Good,” she continued, “because someone is going to shoot you if you don't get that speaker fixed.”

我们银行的免下车服务窗口的喇叭已经坏了好几个星期了。我们这些银行职员只好求助于打手势或者写条子才能和沮丧的顾客沟通。有一天，一位每个星期都看见的和蔼的老太太开到我的窗口前，从她的车里探出头来，敲敲我面前的玻璃，大声说：“希望这是防弹玻璃。”由于在附近的银行刚发生了一起抢劫案件，所以我很感激她的关心，大声喊回去说：“是的，这是防弹玻璃。”她继续说：“这就好。因为你们如果再不把喇叭修好，有人要开枪打你们。”
