Dodging A Bullet With A Simple Clarification
At The Checkout, Grocery Store, Impossible Demands, Michigan, USA, Wordplay | Right
| December 4, 2023
I’m a self-checkout attendant. A customer pushing a large cart approaches me.
Customer: “Do you have a gun?”
While there is a prominent hunting culture in the area, concealed or open carry is relatively rare. Not to mention, there is absolutely NO reason for any employee to have a gun at work; the area is far from rural, so we don’t have to worry about wild animals, and the local violent crime rates aren’t high.
After a moment of half-panicked confusion, I remember that I work in a grocery store.
Me: “A scan gun?”
Customer: “Yeah.”
One word. Four letters. A world of difference.
