Candy Shop | Savannah, GA, USA
Customer: “You don’t have any candy apples?”
Me: “No, ma’am, we only make them on Fridays and they usually sell out before the weekend is over.”
Customer: “Oh. Do you get that question a lot?”
Me: “… yes.”
Customer: “I bet you get sick of it, don’t you? I bet you’re thinking, ‘B***, you see candy apples?’”
Me: *laughs*
(Sometimes, the customer is right!)
Candy Shop | Kennebunk, ME, USA
(I worked at a candy store in an area with a high population of tourists. We have a DVD constantly playing that shows them how the candy is made, obviously pre-recorded.)
Tourist Lady: “Ooh, is that the actual factory?”
Boss: “Actually, it’s a live satellite feed. They’re making that candy right now.”
Tourist Lady: “Fancy!”
(This is a DVD movie with edits and transitions, clearly playing on a Samsung DVD player. Oh, tourists, how I loathe thee.)
Candy Shop | New Jersey, USA
Me: “We’ve got a special offer on chocolate at the moment, if you’re interested at all?”
Customer: “Chocolate?! You know what? I will have some. I hope you’re happy. I mean, honestly…why do you think I have a weight problem, let alone the rest of the world?”
Me: “Sir, I didn’t say you had to buy it…”
Customer: “Well no, you didn’t, but I’m not going to turn down a special offer, am I?”
Me: “Would you like me to offer you a health bar instead?”
Customer: “No, I’ll take two chocolate bars.”
