A Leg-Endary Joke

It’s a coworker’s first day working on the store floor after training. A couple is asking him about the coffee machines we’re selling. My coworker is doing really well so far, as the guy is asking lots of questions.

Coworker: “Maybe if you tell me what you’re hoping to get out of the machine, I can recommend an appropriate option.”

Customer: “I just want a machine that makes a quick and convenient morning espresso. This one looks cool!”

The customer points at a machine that’s one of the most expensive we sell.

Coworker: “That’s a great machine, and it’ll certainly handle your morning espresso, but it also has a lot of semi-professional functions, so it’ll cost you an arm and a leg.”

Customer: *Pops off fake leg.* “I’ll start paying in installments now!”

The poor new guy was so stunned I had to jump in and take over. The customer’s wife is rolling her eyes.

Customer’s Wife: “Sorry. He’s been waiting for years for someone to say that phrase.”

They eventually leave with a mid-range coffee machine, and my coworker has an amazing ‘first day at work’ story to tell for the rest of his life.
