Bacon, Lettuce, and Carcinogens
(I am a clerk at a local mom-and-pop gas station and convenience store. A couple with a young child walks into the store after I’ve already cleaned out our warmer of prepared food items, as we do when it’s late in the shift.)
Man: “So, no food?”
Me: “Not in the warmer, no, but we do have sandwiches in the cooler.”
Man: “Aw, but I wanted something hot!”
Me: “Well, we have a microwave you are welcome to use to heat up any of the sandwiches.”
Man: “Don’t you know those things give you cancer?”
Me: *under my breath* “So, just stand back, then.”
Man: “Never mind.” *turns to woman* “Do we need any cigarettes today?”
Me: “…” *blinks*
