Didn’t Score A Perfect 100
(I’m grabbing some cigarettes for my dad at the gas station we always go to. A guy I haven’t seen before is working.)
Clerk: “Hi, how can I help you?”
Me: “Hi, how are you?”
Clerk: “Good! How are you?”
Me: “I’m great! Can I just have a carton of [Brand] normal, not 100s, please?”
Clerk: *grabs pack of 100s* “These?”
Me: “No, the regular ones, please. A carton, please, not pack.”
Clerk: *grabs for pack of regular* “Here you go.”
Me: “Yes, those, but can I have a carton? The one with a lot of those in it?”
Clerk: “Oh, packet!” *hands me a carton of 100s*
Me: “…Can I have the regular ones, please? Not 100s?”
(He starts looking around and finds some behind him. With a big smile he puts them on the counter.)
Clerk: “Here you go!”
(I hand him $100.)
Clerk: *looks at his boss* “Is this legal?!”
(I eventually get my change and head out to the car where my dad is waiting.)
Dad: “What took so long?”
Me: “New guy.”
(The people there are always very nice. I hope he was just having an off day!)
