Made A Gross(ery) Error

(Our store is pretty busy but the last rush is just winding down. The phone rings. My coworker answers the phone; I’m unable to hear what he’s saying for a few moments.)

Coworker: “Just a second, ma’am.”

(Turns to me.)

Coworker: “Anybody turned in any groceries today?”

Me: “No, what’s up?”

(He turns back to the phone before answering me.)

Coworker: “I’m sorry, ma’am, we haven’t had any turned in but let me get your name and number and we’ll call if they are.”

(He takes down her name and number before hanging up, then turns to me.)

Coworker: “She put her groceries in the wrong car.”

Me: “She put her groceries in the wrong cart or car?”

Coworker: “Car. She even said the interior was different but she didn’t think anything about it at the time.”

(Nods head.)

Me: “Okay, then.”

(We both fell into bouts of laughter.)
