For When The Coffee Just Isn’t Enough
(One evening, a man walks into our cafe, and I recognise him as a customer from earlier that day.)
Me: “Hello! How can I help you?”
Customer: “I think I left a small box here. Did you happen to find it?”
Coworker: “I found it; let me go get it.”
(My coworker fetches the box and gives it to the man.)
Customer: “Thank you so much! My antidepressants are in it.”
Me: “I’m glad we could help.”
(The man starts to walk away and I think this is it, but after two steps he turns around.)
Customer: “Actually, it’s ketamine. Want some?”
(My coworker and I stared at him in shock and somehow managed to mumble, “No, thanks,” and the man left. Who offers horse tranquilisers to strangers?)
