Never Sausage A Thing Before, Part 5
I’m working in the perfume section of a department store. A lost-looking gentleman approaches me.
Customer: “I’m here to get a fragrance for my son.”
Me: “How lovely! What is it called? I’ll be happy to find that for you.”
Customer: “Sausage.”
Me: “…pardon me?”
Customer: “It’s called Sausage. I’ve been told it’s quite popular.”
Me: “I… I don’t think we have that fragrance.”
Customer: “My wife told me that you did! She even wrote it down for me!”
He hands me a crumpled-up piece of paper with some writing scribbled down on it. The handwriting is awful, but I think I can make out what is written there.
Me: “Sir, I believe that word is ‘Sauvage.”
Customer: “No, no, I’m pretty sure it’s Sausage.”
Me: “Sir, unless your son wants to go out with his friends smelling like a sausage, I’m pretty sure it’s ‘Sauvage.’”
Customer: “…you might be right.”
He bought the cologne, and it didn’t smell like sausages.
