Unfiltered Story #217779
A customer has come in with a trombone. He walks straight up to me and asks me to hold on to it while he shops. When he has finished at the checkouts he moves to leave. I chase after him.
Me: Sir, you forgot your instrument!
He looks at me in horror and gets down on one knee. He them takes my hand and kisses it.
Customer: Oh, my fair maiden, you have saved me the misery and embarrassment of forgetting my most prized possession.
He takes the trombone.
Customer: I will not forget this! *leaves*
Me: Well that was something…
Coworker: Yeah, he comes in around once a year, completely wasted.
Me: He didn’t look drunk.
Coworker: He smelled it though.
I worked at that store for another year and a half, so got the opportunity to meet him again.
