Ah, Shoot, Ya Just Missed Him
One of my coworkers comes into work drunk. This is grounds for immediate dismissal, so he is promptly fired. [Coworker] usually walks to work, but the manager has me walk him out just to make sure he didn’t come in a car.
On our way out, a customer approaches us and addresses [Coworker].
Customer: “Hey, you! Take me to your [items].”
Coworker: *Pauses* “I don’t think I can. I’m pretty drunk.”
Customer: “What?! They let you drink on the job?!”
Coworker: “Nope! I was fired, like, two minutes ago.”
Customer: “Um… okay.”
He went off to find someone else to help him, leaving [Coworker] and me laughing on the way out.
