Don’t Ask Her What Size She’d Like
(I am ringing up a customer. She has bought one large jug of ice-cream, a bag of chips, and dip.)
Me: “Did you find everything okay?”
Customer: “Just fine… Just fine.”
(I notice she’s looking me over up and down, but I try to ignore it.)
Customer: “How are you so skinny?”
Me: “Sorry?”
Customer: “How are you skinnier than me? It’s so unhealthy!”
Me: “Uh, well, I’m normally like this. I exercise, and I try to stay fit.”
Customer: “Oh, so you’re saying I’m not?! I can’t believe this. Just because I’m buying ice-cream and chips, doesn’t mean I’m unhealthy!”
Me: “I know it doesn’t, ma’am. I eat ice-cream, too.”
Customer: “Wait, you do?”
Me: “All the time, ma’am.”
Customer: “Oh… no wonder why you’re more bigger than me. You should take care of yourself more.”
