Do NOT Use Corndogs That Way!
A customer with a heavy foreign accent is looking for something while the store is under remodel. I’m working one side of a two-sided self-checkout.
Customer: “Excuse me. Where are the corndogs?”
The accent is heavy but I hear “corndogs.”
Me: “Corndogs?”
Customer: “Corndogs”
I point to the frozen aisle.
Me: “They’re on aisle two. Straight that way on the right.”
Customer: “Okay. Thank you.”
The customer goes down to aisle two, looks, and shakes his head. He asks two more coworkers. He finally goes to my coworker on the other side of the self-checkout.
Customer: “Corndogs. I need corndogs.”
Coworker: “Corndogs? What are they used for?”
Customer: “For safe sex!”
Coworker: “Condoms! Condoms are over there. Let me show you.”
