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?”)
