A Bit Too Hamicable

Cashier: “Hi! So, what type of sub is this?”

Me: “Oh, it’s a footlong ham sandwich.”

Cashier: “Okay, great. ”

(He proceeds to do something on his phone for a minute while I wait awkwardly. Finally, he puts the phone away and turns back to me.)

Cashier: “So, what kind of sub did you say this is?”

Me: “A footlong ham.”

Cashier: “Right, okay, cool. You know, you look really nice today.”

Me: “Oh, um, thanks.”

Cashier: “Yeah. So, what kind of sub did you say this was?”

Me: “…Ham.”

Cashier: “Right. You know, I don’t think I’ve seen you here before.”

Me: “Yeah, I don’t come here very often, but—”

Cashier: “That’s cool. So, you said this was turkey, right?”

Me: “…No. Ham.”

Cashier: “Oh. Okay!”
