Conspiracy Weary
(When special order books come in, we call the customers, but we don’t normally say the book’s title over the phone. A man came in one day to pick up his special order — some book about 9/11.)
Customer: “I have a complaint about my order.”
Me: “Yes, sir?”
Customer: “When the woman called me, she said the title of my book in the message.”
Me: “I’m sorry, sir, is that a problem?”
Customer: “Well, you see, the government’s tapping my phone. I don’t want them to know that I know what they’re up to.”
Me: “Um… okay, sir. I’m sorry about that. I’ll make sure it doesn’t happen again.”
Customer: “Thanks.”
Me: “Would you like a bag, sir?”
Customer: *starts laughing* “No, thanks. I’m not that paranoid!”
