Counting To Eternity

(I am working on the tills, and pretty bored when a transaction equals £12.34.)

Me: “That is…” *glances at screen* “…ha! One, two, three, four!”

Customer: “What?”

Me: “Sorry, twelve-thirty four… one, two three, four. It just made me smile.”

Customer: “Wow! Has this ever happened before? That’s amazing.”

(As I rarely work the tills, this is actually the first time this has happened to me.)

Me: “This is the first time. We’ll remember this for the rest of our lives.”

Customer: “This is an unbreakable bond!”

Me: “Stronger than marriage, some would say!”

Customer: “You can’t divorce out of this!”

Me: “It’s eternal!”

(By now another customer behind is staring at us like we are mad.)

Customer: “I’m going to have to tell all my friends about this! Can you sign my receipt?”

Me: *signs his receipt*

Customer: *walks away, grinning*
