Just A Normal Day In The Republic
(I’m at the register when an older gentleman wearing an USMC cap walks briskly into the store. He asks if we still have our jumbo-sized eggs. I tell him yes and point him in the direction. The conversation happens while I’m cashing him out.)
Customer: “Do you have children?”
Me: “No, I do not.”
Customer: “Are you married?”
Me: “Yes.”
Customer: “Good. When you decide to have children, take it slow. Make sure you do it right.”
Me: “Okay… I will…?”
Customer: “What does your husband do?”
Me: “He works here in the store.”
Customer: “Oh, good. In the meantime, make sure he’s baptized and votes Republican. Have a good day now.”
Me: “You, too…” *to myself after customer walks out the door* “Did that really just happen?”
