No Common Scents

| Right | July 18, 2013

(I work at a store that specializes in body-care; lotions, perfumes, shower gel, all that good smelling stuff. I’m at the register, and three customers come up to check out.)

Me: “Hi ladies, did you find everything you were looking for today?”

(All three of them ignore me for the most part, save for some brief nods. Eventually, as I’m ringing up their purchase, they start talking amongst themselves about their purchases.)

Customer #1: “What fragrance is this?”

Customer #2: “It’s Pink Chiggon; it says right on the label!”

Customer #1: “Chiggon? I can’t read that!”

Customer #2: “It’s right there on the label, girl!”

Customer #3: “It’s not Chiggon, it’s CHITTOF.”

Customer #1: “Chittof?”

Customer #3: “Yea!”

(All this time, I’ve been ringing them up in silence and ever-growing amusement. Finally, I decide to pipe up.)

Me: “Ma’am, it’s Pink Chiffon.”

All Three: “That’s what I said!”
