Inventors Should Get Out Of Their Shell

Coworker: *on phone* “For a turtle? No, ma’am, we only have those for cats and dogs… I’ve never heard of that before, but if they exist, we don’t carry them… I’m sorry, I’m a cashier and I’m not allowed to make those kinds of decisions… Okay, you’re welcome.” *hangs up phone*

Me: “Did she want a pet carrier for a turtle?”

Coworker: “Yeah, and when I told her that we don’t have them, she asked if we would carry them if she invented one.”
