(It is my 18th birthday. My manager has tied a “Happy Birthday” balloon to my register. One customer is asking about it.)

Customer: “What the h*** is this?”

Me: “Well, sir, it’s my birthday.”

Customer: “Your birthday?! As in, the day you were born?!”

Me: “Yes, sir!”

Customer: *grabs a fist full of candy bars to add to his purchases* “These are for you. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!”
