Not So Nuts About The Service

(Since it is spring break we’ve had a lot more teens in the store than usual, and lots like to pull pranks. We have an intercom system that some of the teens know the code for so we get a lot of afternoons like this:)

Teenager: “Attention all [Store] employees. I busted a nut… I repeat, I. Busted. A. Nut.”

Women: *storms up to me, who is a cashier* “That is completely inappropriate. My daughter is four years old and I don’t want her hearing that type of language.”

Me: “I do apologise ma’am, but I don’t think she understands the double meaning of nut, so I think you’re safe.”

Daughter: “What kind of nut was it, mom? A cashew? I like cashews.”

Women: *looks at me expectantly* “Well? Tell her. It’s your store.”

Me: *stumped* “Uh… let me get my manager.”

(Needless to say, we did NOT give that girl a sex-ed talk but gave the women a $10 gift card for any inconvenience.)
