Mixed Nuts And Signals

I’m working my register when my coworker one lane over, waves a hand to the line, her eyes flicking to a specific item in a customer’s cart:

Coworker: “I can help who’s nuts!”

There’s a beat of silence.

Coworker: *Going red.* “I mean who’s next!”

Customer With The Nuts: *Grinning.* “Well, I guess either way, that’s me!”
