Don’t Write Fake Flipping Checks

(I am about five months pregnant with my first child. I am chatting with a customer who is at least 20 years older than me and find out my baby’s due date is the same day as his birthday. After that he always comes in and speaks to me.)

Customer: “Look what I got today.”

(He shows me an envelope that looks like a life insurance offer, complete with fake check for $100,000.)

Customer: “This is an advance on my record studio contract.”

Me: *pretending to believe him* “Oh, that’s great! I’m so happy for you!”

Customer: *hands me a note* “Here, just read this. I’ll see you later.”

(When I go on my break, I read the note in which the customer has offered to give me half of his check, $50,000, if I would just sleep with him once. He is old and lonely, and I could finally marry my man (I have been married five years), go to college, and quit flipping burgers. I show my manager, and all she has to say is:)

Manager: “We don’t flip burgers. We char-broil them!”
