In-Conceivably Kooky

(A little old lady approaches me as I am tidying up some shelves.)

Customer: “Excuse me, miss, but I can’t find your Columbia Crest Cabernet?”

Me: *I point to the shelf above me* “It’s right there.”

Customer: “Oh, my, I feel so foolish!”

Me: “Not at all. It’s a big store and can get a little confusing, even for me.”

Customer: “Now what about some Hess Cabernet?”

(I walk her to where it is and take the bottle down for her.)

Customer: “I LOVE you!”

Me: “Hehe, no problem!”

(I see the check-out lines at the front of the store are full, so I follow her up to help at the registers. After a few customers, she comes through my line.)

Customer: “You can take my money, too?! Amazing!”

Me: *laughs* “Yes, I have many skills.”

Customer: “What are some of your other talents?”

Me: “Well, I can sing!”

Customer: “You can CONCEIVE?!”

Me: “I certainly hope so! But I’m not going to try that out just yet. Right now, I can just sing.”

Customer: “I wish you had really said that. That would have been funny! I love you!”
