Polly Want A Manner
(A man walks in with a parrot sitting on his shoulder.)
Customer: “Hello!”
Me: “Hi!”
Customer: “I would like one bun with sunflower seeds!”
Me: “Here you go.”
(The customer pays and takes the bun. He then takes off the sunflower seeds and feeds them to his parrot.)
Me: *laughing* “Bon appetite!”
Customer: “Thank you!” *to the parrot* “Say thank you!”
Parrot: “Thank you.”
Me: “You’re very welcome!”
((The customer leaves, still feeding the seeds to his parrot. A few minutes later he comes back with the bun, which is now completely seed free.)
Customer: “Do you have a trash can? I don’t need it any more.”
Me: “Ah… sure, give it here.”
Customer: “Very good! Goodbye!” *to the parrot* “Say goodbye to the girl!”
Parrot: “Bye bye!”
(They both leave, having seriously made my day.)
