(The chain store has a pharmacy that closes at 7pm. A couple is at my lane at 8:30pm.)

Me: “Is there anything else I can help you with today?”

Customer: “Not unless you can break into the pharmacy and get my wife’s prescription.”

Me: *chuckle* “Sorry, sir, I can’t do that.”

Customer: *completely serious* “She’s gonna die without it. Oh well.”

Me: “Um…”

Customer: “It’s okay, she’s old enough to die anyway.”
