Kombucha: Heavy Refreshment

(I work in a grocery store that only bags items in paper bags. Because of this, we try to bag lightly so as to not have the bags broken when carried. I’m bagging someone’s groceries and every bag I put up they demand I bag heavier so they can have fewer bags.)

Customer: “You can put more in there. I don’t want too many bags.”

Me: “Well, ma’am, if I make it heavier it may break when you carry it.”

Customer: “I’ll hold it from the bottom; just make it heavier.”

(I do what she asks because the customer is always right, right? She goes to pick up the first bag, which is full of kombucha bottles, and only grabs one handle instead of both. It breaks immediately and the bottles of kombucha smash all over the floor and all over her shoes.)

Customer: “Oh, goodness! I’m so sorry! Can you clean this up while I get new ones?”

(At least she said sorry.)
