Getting Shorted
(At our store, we sell individual tea bags for fifty cents each. Free hot tap water and a foam cup come with each bag sold. One customer, a man in his thirties, has been coming in and buying a single bag of tea every Sunday for two years, but he never takes the water or the cup.)
Customer: “I’d like a refund of $50 please.”
Me: “We don’t sell anything that expensive.”
Customer: “Well, I bought 100 of those herbal mixes and they haven’t done a d*** thing.”
Me: “You mean the tea you buy every week?”
Customer: “No, the herbal mixes in the little yellow packets.”
Me: “Yes, that’s tea.”
Customer: “You mean it won’t make my man parts larger?”
Me: “No, it’s a beverage.”
Customer: “Oh. Never mind, then.”
(He leaves, disappointed. I never saw him again.)
