A Blessing In Disguise
(I’m stocking bags of cookies, and a customer comes up to me.)
Me: “Hello, how are you doing?”
Customer: “I am so blessed, thank you. Can I ask you a question?”
Me: “What’s that?”
Customer: “Do you ever think, when you’re doing your job, about how your company profits from the deprivation of children in third-world countries?”
Me: *thinking* “Um… no, but I’m certainly thinking about it now!”
Customer: “I just want to know.”
Me: “Sir… if you object to our business practices you’ll need to take that up with the corporate office.”
Customer: “But it’s a simple question. Yes or no?”
Me: “Have a nice day, sir.”
(When they start with “I’m blessed,” it never ends well.)
