A Private Broadcast

Me: “Hello, how are you?”

Customer: *says several numbers*

Me: “Excuse me?”

Customer: *says several numbers* “That’s my zip code. Isn’t that what you asked?”

Me: “No, I just asked how you were. Did you have any coupons?”

Customer: “Oh. I’m fine.” *says even more numbers*

Me: “Was that your Social Security number? I didn’t need your social. I just wondered if you had any coupons.”

Customer: “Oh, okay.”

Me: “I also need to scan your ID for the wine.”

Customer: “No way. I’m not giving you a chance to steal my identity!”
