(A young man and two young women approach the lane with several bottles of wine. They are carded. The man is old enough to buy, but the girls aren’t.)
Me: “I’m sorry, but I can’t sell to you.”
Customer: “Why not? I’m over 21!”
Me: “But they’re not.”
Customer: “They’re not the ones buying. I am!”
Me: “Then why did you bring them in with you?”
Customer: “Because I didn’t know what kind they liked.”

(I’m ringing through a customer’s order. I put a romaine lettuce through. The customer points out a price error.)
Customer: “The lettuce is $1.97, not $2.97.”
Me: “Oh, I’m sorry. Just to double check–it’s a romaine lettuce you have, right?”
Customer: “No, it’s USA lettuce.”
Me: “What?”
Customer: “It’s USA lettuce.”
Me: “Well, it’s from the USA, but it’s called romaine lettuce.”
Customer: “No, it’s USA lettuce, not Romanian.”

Customer: “Excuse me, do you have any of the regular fish oil pills?”
Me: “No, I don’t have those. But we’ve got the odorless pills here.”
Customer: “Thanks anyway. I really just wanted the regular ones.”
Me: “Oh, but these are great. They’ve got no odor at all. If you take these, you won’t smell of fish!”
Customer: “You mean I smell of fish?! Oh my God! I didn’t know! Nobody told me! I don’t believe I smell of fish!”
Me: “Uh, that’s not what I meant.”
Customer: “I didn’t know I smell of fish! Oh, this is awful!”
(The customer opens his phone, dialing.)
Customer, on phone: “Mom? It’s me. Why didn’t you tell me I smell of fish? Of course I do! The guy at the store just said I need to take the odorless pills because I smell of fish!”
Me: *head in hands* “No, wait!”
Customer: “I can’t believe even you didn’t tell me! I feel awful now! How long until it goes away?”
