And Yet He Lives With A Nut
(A customer with her toddler comes into the store while I’m working on another customer’s order.)
Customer: “I want to know if your peanut butter cookies have nuts in them.”
Me: “Yes, yes they do.”
Customer: “Oh, well my son is allergic to nuts. Do you have any that don’t have nuts?”
Me: “You could try the oatmeal raisin.”
Customer: “No, he doesn’t like raisins.” *picks up a different cookie*
Me: “Um, those are white chocolate macadamia nut, which also has nuts in them.”
Customer: “Well do you have anything that is nut-free here?!”
Me: “We have cakes with fruit in them, muffins, bagels, croissants, and scones. Would he like those?”
Customer: “You people don’t care about my child!” *storms out of the store, child in tow*
Me: *To coworker* “How is he still alive?”
Coworker: *shrugs*
