California, You Might Have Heard Of It
(I am working the opening shift in a grocery store as a bagger. A lady comes up to the register and proceeds to pay for her drink.)
Cashier: “Your total is $1.74.”
Customer: “What’s that CRV charge?”
Cashier: “That’s the California Redemption Value.”
Customer: “Oh, well, where’s California?”
Cashier: “You’re standing in it.”
Customer: “Oh, okay. Thanks.”
(She paid for her drink and left while we all looked at each other like, “Did that really just happen?”)
