Happy Communist America Day?
It is July 4th, but as usual, our convenience store remains open. A customer comes in with some of his friends, and it’s already apparent he’s had a few too many beers. He stumbles over to me and points his finger at me.
Customer: “Why do you hate America?”
Me: “I don’t?”
Customer: “Then why are you open today? It’s America’s Day!”
Me: “Our store is open 24/7, sir.”
Customer: “Are you a communist?”
Me: “…no?”
Customer: “You are! You’re open on America’s Day! You must be a communist!”
Me: “Actually I think being open today means we’re the opposite of communists.”
Customer: “Bah. I don’t know what communists are anyway. Can we buy beers?”
Me: “Do you have a designated driver?”
A more sober-looking gentleman at the back (getting snacks) calls over, hand raised.
Customer’s Friend: “That’s me!”
Me: *To customer.* “Then yes, you can buy beers.”
Customer: “Woohoo! You must love America!”
Me: “It has its moments.”
