A Knight In Patrolling Armor

Me: “So, your total is going to be of 30 thousand colones (60 USD). Here you go, and have a nice day.”
Customer: “Oh, you’re so nice. Thank you, too. I was wondering if you could do something else for me?”
Me: “Sure, what is it?”
Customer: “I was told at my church that they needed more members, and I was asked to bring a few. Would you mind to come?”
Me: “Well, I apologize, but I wouldn’t like to.”
Customer: *gets defensive* “Why? Don’t tell me you think we’re all cultists that don’t care about God!”
Me: “I’m sure you’re not, but I don’t want to go.”
Customer: “Why the h*** not, then? I already told you we’re nice people, so why don’t you go?!”
Me: “Ma’am, if I offended you I apologize, however I don’t want to go. It’s not because you’re nice people or not; it’s because I’m an atheist.”
Customer: “So, you don’t believe in God, is that it? Well, f*** you! You’re going to Hell! What are you going to tell me next, that you’re a f***ing queer?”
Me: “In fact, I am a homosexual, but—”
Customer: “That’s all I needed to know! Being gay is a sin!”
Me: “Ma’am, I’m going to have to ask you to leave.”
Customer: “F*** no! You’re kicking me out because I’m a Christian! That’s illegal, and it’s bulls***!”
(At this point, a man behind her speaks up. Note that he is a police officer in full uniform.)
Officer: “No, he’s kicking you because you already paid and you’re disturbing the peace. So, I’m going to give you my recommendation: Leave now, or I’ll arrest you.”
Customer: *suddenly pales and leaves without saying a word*
Me: “Thank you very much, Officer. Now, how may I help you?”
Officer: “Actually I didn’t need anything. I was just patrolling when I heard the conflict. However, now that you mention it…” *he blushes a little* “…I need to ask, would you go out in a date with me?”
Me: “…Of course!”
(The officer and I have now dating for nearly half a year.)
