He’s A Lie-Smith

Customer: “Do you have any bigger turkeys?”

Me: “No, sir. That’s all I have.”

A few minutes later:

Customer: “I screwed that up. I’m supposed to pick up a turkey we ordered.”

Me: “Sure. What’s the name?”

Customer: “Smith.”

I go look in the back. I don’t see a turkey for Smith. I look at the order book — still no order for Smith. I’m fully ready to get yelled at.

Me: “Um… I don’t see your name in the orders. Do you know who you spoke to?”

Customer: *Creepy smile* “I was hoping that was a common enough name that there would be one in the back.”

Me: “So, you didn’t order a turkey?”

Customer: *Bigger smile* “Happy Thanksgiving!”
