(I work as a cashier, and when we have no customers in line we move to the front of the lane to greet people and let them know our lane is open. Another cashier and I are at the front of our lanes chatting when a customer comes up.)

Other Cashier: “Hi, we are both open and can help.”

Customer: “Well, which of you wants to help me more?”

Me: “It doesn’t really matter to us.”

Customer: “Then how about you fight for the honor of checking out my items. You know; a fight to the death?”

Other Cashier: “We can’t do that.”

Me: “Yeah, too much blood. It’s a mess to clean up.”

Customer: “Fair enough. So, how about rock, paper, scissors?”

(We agree and play rock paper scissors to see who helps the customer. I ultimately lost, but it made the customer happy and was the highlight of the evening!)
