Homeland Insecurity
Electronics Store | Santa Cruz, CA, USA
(I’m ringing up a man who is buying a new laptop.)
Customer: “So, what are your ethnicities?”
(This question didn’t strike me as odd, as people have wondered in the past.)
Me: “Half European and half Middle Eastern.”
Customer: “Oh, so like one of those terrorists…. just watered-down.”
Me: “Oh, I’m not watered-down, sir.” *holds out his receipt, smirking*
(The customer looks a bit freaked, grabs his receipt and takes off quickly with his stuff–except for his credit card.)
