Unfiltered Story #205629

A couple comes up to the register — he’s got a tube of white caulk and some other random items, she’s got the wallet and speaks to me, the cashier:

her: He needed a lot of caulk.
him: (slightly embarassed) C-A-U-L-K.

Middle-aged guy comes to the register with a 3″ long bolt that he brought in and a nut partway down the threads that he is purchasing for fifteen cents.

him: I only have one nut.

(Coworker who overheard, after the customer left: “I am sooo sorry, sir.”)
