He Scolds Sea Shells By The Seafood Store
(A customer walks up to me with a box of popcorn shrimp.)
Customer: “Excuse me, is this okay for someone with a shellfish allergy? My daughter is highly allergic to shellfish.”
Me: “I’m sorry, sir, but shrimp are shellfish. Maybe you should get popcorn chicken instead?”
Customer: “But it says it’s popcorn shrimp! That means that the shell is made of popcorn and not an actual shell. In that case, it would no longer be a shellfish and only seafood, right?
Me: “Sir, shrimp has a shell, so it is a shellfish. The shells are not made out of popcorn.”
Customer: “LIES!” *storms off, but thankfully leaves the box*
