Surrogate Swearers
(I am working on a till that frequently has problems with the scanner. I attempt to scan a customer’s item, but the barcode won’t go through and I mouth a swear to myself.)
Customer: “Go on, say it.”
Me: “Sorry?”
Customer’s Husband: “What did she do?”
Customer: “Swore under her breath.” *turns back to me* “You can say it. Vents the frustrations!”
Me: “I’m afraid I’m not allowed to swear in front of the customers.”
Customer: “Shall I say it for you?”
Me: “If you like.”
Customer: “Bugg*r!”
Me: “Ah, I feel better now.”
