A Heathen Is For Life, Not Just For Christmas
(It’s Christmas time, and I’m doing some overtime to help my boss and a female co-worker put up some decorations around the store when a customer approaches me.)
Customer: “Can I have that tinsel?”
Me: “Oh, I’m sorry ma’am, this isn’t for sale. It’s just for the store. We’ve got some decorations for sale in the next aisle if you want me to show you?
Customer: “No. I want that one, are you even Christian?”
Me: *taken aback* “Uh, no ma’am, I’m not.”
Customer: “I thought so, you don’t deserve these decorations…you’re a heathen!”
Me: “I’m sorry, but my boss wouldn’t be happy with me giving away the decorations he’s already paid for.”
Customer: “I bet he wouldn’t be happy knowing that he’s got a heathen as an employee! I bet you’re one of them gays as well right?”
Me: *stunned* “Um…actually…”
Customer: *shouting* “You’re going straight to hell! I bet the rest of the staff don’t even know about your little secret!”
(Just then, my coworker walks up to us.)
Female Coworker: “Hey babe, can you help me set up the tree?”
(The customer turns white, and practically runs out of the store.)
Female Coworker: “Man, that woman was a b****!”
(We set up the tree and she asks me out afterwards, we’ve been dating for nearly seven months!)
