Always Right, Even When Devouring Your Mortal Soul

(A teenage customer comes up to my checkout with a bag of chips.)

Customer: “This job must suck. Am I right?”

Me: “It’s okay. It’s not horrible. I get paid to tell people how much to pay and sit around most the time. It’s pretty slow this time of day.”

Customer: “You should get out of here and go to college! Get an education!”

Me: “Sir, I’m already in college. This job and one other is paying for me to go to college, as well as my rent.”

Customer: “Hey! The customer is always right! You can’t correct me! And if I didn’t eat junk food, then I would eat your soul! How much for this?”

Me: “$1.08, sir.”

Customer: *pays and leaves*

Coworker: *to me* “Did he just say he was going to eat your soul?”
