He’s Slow To Catch On

(I’m grabbing lunch after hockey practice. I got hit in the hand, and while it didn’t break anything, it’s very sore and I’m icing it. The employee making the sub notices, so we chat about hockey vs. rugby injuries while his coworker, the cashier, cracks jokes.)

Cashier: “Alright, that’ll be [total]. Here, catch!”

(The cashier throws the sub at me before I can object. It hits me in the face.)

Me: “What the h***?!”

Cashier: “You’re a netballer! You’re supposed to be able to catch!”

(Suddenly, the cashier gets hit in the head by burnt loaf. It was thrown by the employee who made my sub.)

Cashier: “Ow!”

Employee: “You’re an idiot.”
