Not Talking Turkey This Thanksgiving, Part 2

It’s the morning of Thanksgiving, and as always, there has been a last-minute run on turkeys.

Customer: “I need a turkey!”

Me: “We have them in this aisle, sir.”

Customer: “They’re all frozen! They won’t thaw in time!”

Me: “I’m afraid this is all we have left, sir. Today is Thanksgiving, after all.”

Customer: “I promised my wife I would get the turkey, and then I forgot! Please, you have to help me!”

Me: “I’m afraid I can’t help you, sir.”

Customer: “What kind of grocery store is open on Thanksgiving but doesn’t have any turkeys?!”

Me: “What kind of husband promises his wife he is going to get a turkey and decides to risk getting a fresh one on Thanksgiving morning?”

I was “thankful” he didn’t have a response to that and simply rushed off. Last time I ever worked the holiday!
