Hogwarts: The Continuing Education Years
(It’s the Harry Potter Midnight party. Customers are dressed as characters from the book. Most are children, but there are also some overly enthusiastic/creepy adults wandering around.)
Lone Witch Lady: “This is so exciting! What are you doing with the boxes that the books came in? Can I have one?”
Me: “I don’t see why not, but I’ll have to ask my manager.” *asks manager* “I’m sorry, we have to keep them for inventory.”
Lone Witch Lady: “Are you sure? My cats would love one. ”
Me: “Your… cats? Would they seriously love a Harry Potter cardboard box more than a plain cardboard box?”
Lone Witch Lady: “Oh, yes!”
Me: “I’m sorry, ma’am, we can’t give them away. Um, have you tried the Bertie Bots Bean Counting Contest?”
Lone Witch Lady: “Ooh!” *scampers off*
