Unfiltered Story #97906

[I work in a small fair trade store. I’m explaining the nature of the store to some new customers.]

Me: So we like to say that every product we sell has a story.

Customer: Do you know all the stories?

Me: Most of them! I’ve been here the longest out of everybody, so I’ve had a lot of time to learn.

Customer: How do I know if they’re real?

Me: *pause* Well, how’s this? I’ll start with the truth about each product, and if you don’t like that, I’ll make something up.

[In the end I don’t have to make anything up.]
