Next Time, Check The Basement

I’m working the window of my ice cream truck.

Customer: “Hi, do you have any Choco Tacos?”

Me: “Sorry, we just sold the last one.”

Customer: “Can you check the back?”

I pause, then gesture to the tiny truck behind me.

Me: “This is an ice cream truck.”

Customer: “So? You’re not even going to check? How lazy are you?”

I pause, duck dramatically below the counter for two seconds, then pop back up.

Me: “I checked. We’re out.”

Customer: “All you did was duck! You didn’t check anything!”

I sigh, open the tiny glovebox at the front, peer inside, and slam it shut.

Me: “Nope, the warehouse says we’re empty.”

The customer just stares at me before settling for a popsicle.
